Save Your Receipts, Save Your Sanity (and Your Deductions)

Hi Reader, She thought she was being financially responsible. She was tracking her spending. She was using a dedicated business account. But all those little receipts were driving her nuts. Some receipts she meant to save ended up in the laundry. Others got tossed out with her coffee cup. And the few she did keep? Many were faded to the point of being unreadable. Turns out, thermal paper (used in most receipts) starts fading almost immediately. And if the IRS can’t read it, it doesn’t count. Here’s what most people don’t realize: My team has never lost an audit, but clients have because they didn’t follow my simple system for filing away receipts. At most, this system adds twenty seconds to your routine. I know- I’ve actually timed it. 😊 Here’s how to stay on top of your receipts and become audit proof…
If you follow this simple system, you’ll have a searchable archive of time-stamped receipts, backed up in the cloud and ready for tax time. And here’s a bonus…When you make saving and reviewing receipts a habit, your brain starts noticing how you’re spending. "Am I really spending this much on coffee?" Your receipts become more than compliance—they become a window into your behavior and values. 💡 📌 You begin to spot patterns. And of course, saving your receipts keeps you compliant, organized, and ready to maximize your deductions! So here’s my question for you… 👉 Where are your receipts right now?Be honest—are they filed, faded, or floating in your purse? Hit reply and tell me. As an accountant, I’ve seen it all—and I promise, no judgment. 😄 Be profitable, |

Hi Reader, When we ignore our numbers, we miss out on the most powerful advantage in business: clarity. A lot of business owners avoid looking at their money, without even realizing that’s what they’re doing. Not because they don’t care—but because they’re busy, overwhelmed, or afraid of what they’ll find. 👉 The receipts pile up. 👉 The bank statements go unread. 👉 The reports feel confusing or pointless. But how much clarity are you missing as a result? As a Money Storyteller, I believe...
Hi Reader, Recently, I was talking about money with a group of self-employed parents, and I said something that stopped the room cold… “Scarcity is a myth.” Not the kind of scarcity where your bank account is low—we’ve all been there. But the kind of deep-rooted scarcity that tells us: “If someone else succeeds, that means less for me.” “There’s only so much to go around.” “I’ll never catch up, so why bother?” Sound familiar? This mindset is sneaky… ➡️ It shows up when we scroll through...
Hi Reader, “I’m making money… but I don’t know where it’s going.” I have heard some version of this hundreds of times from smart, educated people who keep working and working and working, and yet still don’t seem to have enough left at the end of each month. Most of us never get ANY kind of formal financial training growing up, but we learn a lot about money from the people around us. For instance, when you were a kid did you ever ask for a toy only to be met with a stern rebuke, “No, I’m not...
