Don’t Let September Deadlines Sneak Up on You

September 15 is one of the most important IRS deadlines of the year, and for many business owners, it’s a stressful one. That’s the due date for quarterly estimated tax payments and for S-Corporations and Partnerships who filed an extension, it’s the final deadline to submit their 2024 returns.

Here’s the problem: too many business owners wait until the last minute. When that happens, CPAs end up rushing through a year’s worth of records. That means higher accounting fees, missed deductions, and in many cases, penalties and interest from the IRS. It’s a costly cycle and one that’s completely preventable.

This is where bookkeeping comes in. When your books are up-to-date, tax deadlines don’t feel like emergencies. They’re simply routine steps in your financial calendar. Accurate, timely bookkeeping means you’ll know exactly what you owe, avoid unnecessary stress, and pay the lowest legal amount of tax.

If your books are behind right now, this is your chance to fix it before September hits. At Oak and Ledger, we specialize in catch-up bookkeeping that gets your financials organized, reconciled, and ready for tax season. It’s about more than compliance — it’s about clarity and confidence in your business finances.

Don’t let September 15 sneak up on you. Reach out today and let’s get your books caught up.
