Matt Miller (Back40 BBQ) and I sit down with Nicole Nassif, an accountant with Lundahl, Hatt & Austad Accounting Services, to talk about one of the least fun but most important parts of running a business—taxes.Nicole breaks down the stuff every small business owner needs to know: deductions, bookkeeping, quarterly tax payments, and how to avoid common (and costly) mistakes. Basically, she’s here to help us all keep more money in our pockets and keep the organism that is the IRS from knocking on our door.If you’ve ever stressed about tax season (or just ignored it and hoped for the best), this episode is for you. Plus, Matt and I make sure there’s plenty of BBQ talk to keep things interesting.🔥 Give it a listen—your accountant (and your bank account) will thank you!#smallbusiness #businesstaxes #business ,#taxtips #bookkeeping #cedarrapids #cedarrapidssmallbusiness #entrepreneur #accounting #taxmistakes #startup #foodtruck #foodtrucklife
