I'm doing an audit of sorts... we just bought new appliances, and some new furniture.  I need to photograph the items, copy the serial numbers, scan the receipts etc. in case I ever have to file a claim with my homeowner's insurance policy.

Yes, just before tax time but sometimes if I'm feeling ripped off - sooner.

Getting all the books ready for the accountant is something I do every year - along with year end tax planning. Have my meeting on this Monday.

That is why we have a cpa.

I have no personnel but me. My husband takes care of taxes and insurance with our CPA. I stay on top of records closely through each transaction. What else is there to audit? 

No, not me, broker does.

Yes. 

If only I had the time.

Yes I do Nathan...

I keep a very close eye on expenses all year long and review again at tax time.

I keep my records and hand them off to my CPA- he lets me know if there are any issues

No, no need here.

Once a year.

Nathan Gesner Yes, when I close the books for the year and start preparing for doing taxes.

We use a CPA and have our QuickBooks synced on categories for entry which we do daily. We meet every quarter to go over it.

Yes

before 4/5

Everyday, ha ha! 

Good for you.

Hands-on daily

Not in recent years!

In January, when I prepare my tax information for my CPA...

At tax prep time which is quickly approaching. 

Yes, my CPA/attorney requires that I do it twice each year. We're very organized so, it's a relatively painless process.

My accountant does that.

Nathan,

We stay constantly aware of what is happening in every aspect.  This is the advantage of being small and outsourcing.  It is not for everyone, it works for us by design. A

Yes I track the monthly ills monthly and audit the end of the year.

I look at all of it all year long, but very closely the end of the year.

Every quarter!

Better me than the IRS. Everyone could find more profit from the slack of the day to day spending. Taking all the deductions allowed means not waiting until crunching numbers sitting on the other side of the desk your bean counter holds down. Visit with him or her and glean the CPA knowledge to guide the business dance steps in other seasons, not just the tax return one.

Yes, i'm always looking what I can do to improve my life and get a better vendor on my side. Same with marketing and business planning.
