Accounting hocus pocus: Nothing too spooky!

I hope my emails brighten your mornings

Hello Bloom family!

Masks are a little less spooky this year, huh? 

I only have a couple of small updates for you this month (a nice change of pace, don’t you think?), and then I’ll be off to think of how we can use our masks to create the best Halloween costumes ever. 

Speaking of costumes, in our house, my daughter is creating a custom costume so she can be her favorite Roblox character, and my son has decided he’s too cool for costumes and trick or treating this year. Taco is still working out his costume options 🙂

As a heads up, I’m using my offseason to take the kiddos on another road trip this month. We’re heading to AZ to spend time with family, but my intention is to work remotely the week of the 5th, so you’ll still be able to reach me if needed. 

Okay, keep calm and update on…

Updates:

Individual Tax Filing

If you haven’t sent me your 2019 filing info…
Will I get your total tax payment to $750? Probably not. BUT. The individual tax filing due date is 10/15. If you haven’t filed your individual taxes for 2019 yet, email me ASAP.

 
PPP Forgiveness

Hurry up and wait
We’ve caught wind that some people’s financial institutions have reached out to encourage them to start filing for forgiveness. However, all my clients will need to wait until the end of the 24-week period ends to ensure their loans are fully forgiven.

To figure out your 24-week period, check the date that your PPP funds were deposited, then count forward 24 weeks. This will be the SOONEST you can file for forgiveness.

I KNOW you’re all anxious to make sure that you’re paying what you need to and getting whatever you can be forgiven, so this seems like a game of ‘hurry up and wait’. However, once your 24-week period is over, you can fill out this form to apply for PPP forgiveness.

 
We’re hiring!

Know anyone that we should meet?
I’m honored to be your friendly, neighborhood small business accountant, but Bloom is growing and I need to add a couple of bookkeepers to my team. If you know someone that I should get to know, please have them reach out to me at hello@bloomsbs.com.

 
We’re feeling social 

Be in the know!
Did you know that we’re remodeling our office? Helping our clients connect with (and sometimes even hire!) each other? Yeah, super exciting things are happening over on our Instagram!

That said, if you’d like to be one of our guest features, click here!

And remember, it’s just a bunch of hocus pocus

That’s it for now, Bloom family!

We’re off to soak up the last of summer, enjoy lots of family time, and head into Q4 strong! Have the best weekend!

Sending good vibes to you all!
