Accounting 101: Get ‘schooled’ on this fall’s news
It’s that time!
Hi all!
From masks to smaller classes to distance learning, raise your hand if this back-to-school time came way too fast!
It sure did around here, and we’re working to get into the groove of the kids working alongside me – who knows, maybe they’ll become expert accountants by osmosis 😉

Unemployment & lost wages benefits got extended!
A few things to note.
For those of you in Illinois, an additional $600 per week was added to weekly unemployment benefits that were to end July 31st. The Illinois Department of Employment Security has extended this benefit an additional 20 weeks. Illinois is one of 19 states to extend its unemployment benefits including AZ, LA, MO, TN, and TX. Be sure to research if your state has a federal boost to weekly unemployment benefits, and by how much.
