Spooky Season is Here… Don’t Let Your Finances Get Creepy!

October isn’t just about haunted houses and trick-or-treating — it’s also the perfect time to shine a light on the financial ghosts that might be lurking in your business. While you’re sipping on pumpkin spice and enjoying the season, don’t let these three scary tax traps sneak up on you.

Here are 3 “Spooky Season” tax traps to watch out for:

1. The Phantom Receipts

Ever searched for that one crucial receipt only to realize it’s vanished into thin air? Without proof of expenses, those deductions you were counting on could disappear faster than a ghost at sunrise.

💡 Tip: Use digital tools or apps to snap photos and store receipts in real-time. That way, you’re not left scrambling come tax season.

2. The Zombie Accounts

Old business accounts that haven’t been reconciled in months might seem harmless… until they rise from the dead and wreck your financial records. Inaccurate books lead to scary surprises when it’s time to file.

💡 Tip: Regularly reconcile your accounts (monthly at minimum). Even better, let a professional handle it so you can focus on running your business — not chasing zombie numbers.

3. The Vampire of Underpricing

Are your prices sucking the life out of your profits? Many business owners undercharge out of fear of losing customers, but in reality, it’s draining their growth and long-term sustainability.

💡 Tip: Review your pricing strategy at least once a year. Remember: charging what you’re worth keeps your business alive and thriving.
