With 3rd quarter payroll taxes approaching and sales taxes at the same time, how are you preparing your clients? For those that have businesses, are your payroll taxes automated where your taxes are automatically being filed and paid or are you preparing your statments in a file to send to your CPA or bookkeeper?

I was in attendance with the CPA Academy today and they had an amazing webinar regarding growing your practice and not being overwhelmed and underpriced. The content was amazing and I could not believe all that I had learned in a free webinar about how to conduct my business better. My key take aways were: Delegating tasks, creating goals as trime…

Late last year, I decided to get into making beef jerky. I love the stuff, didn't really know what I was doing but figured it'd be a good idea for a Christmas gift, so I bought an upsetting amount of beef and got to testing. The jerky was a hit, I continued playing around with the recipe and started selling at a local farmer's market a couple of w…

I searched for a discussion topic and did not find it. It would be nice to see a prompt that would then lead me through starting a new discussion around the topic not found.

In Canada, self employed entrepreneurs can deduct a portion of their auto expenses used for business purposes. Gas, maintenance,license and interest on a car loan (as well as lease costs to a prescribed maximum) can be deducted in a section of the T2125 form. The formula is kilometres driven for business use/total kilometres driven in the year. T…

Good afternoon folks! I recently came into some of extra disposable income and I figure it's more than time for me to upgrade my home office from a handful of mismatched IKEA furniture to something a little cozier (or at least, something that encourages productivity a bit more). I'm not sure if I want to pretty my home office or if I'd rather ren…

This post is intended for Canadian entrepreneurs. Too many new entrepreneurs think that the very act of incorporating frees them of all liabilities. It does not relieve them of business liabilities to the CRA nor a bank with whom they have a business loan. Incorporation online is quite easy and far more affordable than incorporating through a law…

Are you able to see monthly financial statements? More importantly, do you understand them? Do you do any business planning? If so, is your business doing what you thought it would be doing when you created the plan this year? Is your cash position good? Are you up-to-date with your (Canadian) statutory remittances? I hope you have answers to t…

I hope so. I am not talking about a large and involved budget exercise but, answering a few basic questions: 1) Has my business volume increased? Stayed flat? Declined? Why ? 2) Did you have any new initiatives for the upcoming year? If so, how did they fare? 3) Is your business spinning any cash? The last question is essential. There is a differ…

For most small businesses it is plain and simple -- boot-strapping. Cash in your RRSPs, max-out your credit cards and get as much free credit from suppliers as you can. Going to a bank is really out of the question for a start-up unless you have a lot of (real-property) net worth. The Canada Revenue Agency is a creditor for (too) many small busine…

I understand most folks who are in this community are all about the numbers, the dollars & cents, after all this is WAVE! I'm not a numbers person, not even close and thats why we use WAVE and have not one, but 2 amazing people that manage numbers for my company. I would be lost without them, they are truly the best in my books. Got me to th…

The proprietor who ends his/her proprietorship and rolls over assets and liabilities should be careful to add Goodwill on the new corporation's balance sheet. The Canada Revenue Agency will look for this when your accountant prepares an opening balance sheet for them - the T2Sch101. Goodwill should be reasonable. The shareholder/operator can ta…

Reminiscing about good old days of accounting? I hear often about good old days of everything under-the-sun; music, writing, newspapers, you name it, even the weather! Got me thinking, I never hear about the good old days of accounting, BW (before WAVE). How about you, lament the good old days? I'm pulling up a chair here. Tell me about the g…

I feel like every other article written for entrepreneurs is about sleep patterns and how to wake up earlier. With the sheer number of those articles floating around, I'm thinking, hey, maybe there's something there. I've always had some trouble with insomnia, and while it hasn't stopped me from doing anything, I'd love to know what you do to sta…

I was reading this article over the weekend: https://www.entrepreneur.com/article/309482 The article says, in short, that Black Panther has solid lessons to teach business owners (on top of being a great flick). In fact, it has much more to teach us than Avenger: Infinity War does. It's a fun article, I recommend giving it a read. It made me won…

I was thinking about @Briella83's question during the AMA with @Kirk on Tuesday. Made me wonder what the rest of you consume in the way of media! What are some blogs, podcasts, news sources, YouTube channels that you recommend? Either for business or otherwise, I'm curious. Books as well! I'm not following anything or anyone particularly insight…

I’m a single mom and an entrepreneur and I often feel like I’m involving my kids in all the parts of my business that DON’T have a lot of significance - they come along with me when we do errands or if we have an event. As they get older I’m thinking about ways to talk about time management and making decisions according to your values as they rel…

We live a pretty weird life, us freelancers and entrepreneurs! I'm curious to hear what's your favourite thing about your job. That moment that makes you feel like this whole crazy adventure was the right decision. What keeps you coming back for more? Mine's gonna sound a little silly, but it means the world to me. I'm a writer, I mostly do tech…Ellie_Writes_Things 135 views 0 comments 0 points Most recent by Ellie_Writes_Things May 9, 2018 8:53PM

Hello fellow insiders! I was lying in bed yesterday thinking about local business communities. I was trying to decide how important it could be for me to get involved, if it was worth the time investment and so on. Given that I'm not currently involved in such a community (and am notoriously and hilariously terrible at networking), I figured the …

Curious to hear from anyone who has noticed this as well. At first, I thought I was going out of business - posts were getting a quarter as many likes as normal. I guess it is because FB wants you to pay to get your posts out there, but personally, I have found that we can go without this - at least for now, ha! We’re very active in our community …

Hi folks! I'm just getting started with running my own business (and figuring out Wave). As a new business owner, I'm sure I'll run into unexpected situations and all kinds of fun trouble! I thought it'd be a good idea to ask some veteran entrepreneurs for general advice. And hey, if the advice I get here help others newbies later down the road, …
