Shift filing season into each quarter
The strongest routine is a quarterly tax pause: half an hour aligning prepayments, scheduling deductible spend, and verifying payroll lodgements mirror submissions. Firms keeping this rhythm erase fines completely — and generally pay less overall, since choices land while options remain open.
Recheck your structure annually
The entity ideal at $80,000 earnings may bleed five figures at $250,000. A yearly election review consumes an hour and tops our list of discoveries in first-time client examinations.
Review incentives before ruling them out
Research, recruitment, green, and regional awards pass most modest firms by — not through ineligibility, but because nobody looked. A single screening repays itself the moment one qualifying year surfaces.
