| 26 Oct 2022 | How to Prepare for End-of-Year Tax Spending | 00:07:40 | |
As the end of 2022 approaches, you’ll hear a lot of your favorite influencers share the rush of squeezing in your end-of-year tax spending. This isn’t sound advice, but it’s common because it gives off the impression that it’ll save you in tax deductions. In today’s episode, I share why the “spending free” advice is just cash out the door. From what deductions really look like and why they don’t equate to an even dollar-to-dollar amount, I share why you shouldn’t follow the advice to go spend crazy just to fit in a deduction or two. This is an important episode, so tune in and listen to why you shouldn’t follow this popular advice and what you should do instead if you’re looking for beneficial and strategic tax deductions.

| 15 Mar 2023 | EP95: More Money More Confidence | 00:11:27 | |
More money does not protect your reputation. More money doesn’t necessarily cover all the new expenses that come with it. More money often means more complications and changes. So is more money really more problems?
Tune in as your host gets real about why the pursuit of money is not enough. And if you got it, how do you keep it? How do you make more money, create a team, build a business, and keep your sanity as well as your profit?
KEY POINTS:
“More money doesn't automatically lead to more confidence. The more you make, the more hurdles you're going to jump into, the more changes you're going to have to make.” “Just know that the money itself isn't the goal. The decisions, the feelings, the power on the other side? Absolutely. But it's a journey to get there.”

| 30 Nov 2022 | Making the Intentional Decision to Stay Small | 00:06:52 | |
It seems like everyone in the business and entrepreneurship world is always moving on to new goals, and aiming for new heights. However, I’ve always known that there was going to be a cap to Little Fish’s growth because there are sacrifices I’m not willing to make for the sake of my team and the lives that I want us to be able to lead. And that’s okay. In today’s episode, I’m talking about what it means to intentionally reject never-ending growth and how you can do so with care and intention. I talk about optimizing the way we, as a team work, in order to meet our revenue expectations without burning out and how you can too. Then, I talk about the important role numbers play in determining your team size and how much effort you’ll be putting into reaching your goals. Finally, I talk about getting honest with yourself about your goals and the life you want to live, and how change is always in the air if you want it. This is an important conversation that isn’t discussed much in the entrepreneurial space, so tune in and join us for this discussion.

| 14 Dec 2022 | Everything You Need For End-of-Year Taxes | 00:39:53 | |
Merry-almost taxes! This week I have a special episode where I'm sharing actionable steps to help you prepare for a stress-free tax season. I'm answering frequently asked questions about quarterly estimates, best practices when working with a tax professional, and what expenses you should deduct annually. In this episode, I'm sharing an overview of how taxes work and why the IRS prefers that you make an educated guess and 'pay on the go.' I'm also breaking down the different types of taxes that you need to be aware of, why staying on top of your bookkeeping will help avoid financial surprises at the end of the year, and what happens if you don't pay your quarterly taxes. Do you know the first two rules of deductible expenses? Worry not; I'm sharing what the IRS expects and why we should all be thoughtful of year-end spending versus deducting expenses just for the sake of it. Finally, I share a crucial tip for staying organized (hint: it's bookkeeping) and why honesty and transparency is vital when working with your tax preparer, especially if you want to minimize the amount of taxes you need to pay at the end of the year. Are you interested in working with Little Fish? Curious about our year-round service, the tax-prep suite? You'll want to tune in next week for part two of this conversation, where we chat with our account manager and spotlight a client success story.

| 23 Nov 2022 | Why You Should “Just Start” Instead of Waiting for the Right Time | 00:06:28 | |
When I first started Little Fish, I had one mission – to make accounting information accessible and digestible for small business owners who are often left out of the conversation. I didn’t have my branding figured out, I didn’t have a clear target audience in mind, and I didn’t even have a business plan or a real goal until this year. So this episode is for my listeners who have dreamed about starting a business of their own, but are remaining on the fence because they don’t know where or how to begin. In this episode, I share why you don’t need to have everything figured out before starting your business. Then, I walk you through the things you should prioritize as you continue to build your business. This episode is your permission to simply just start and go after the business you can’t stop thinking about. Tune in, take notes, and know that you’re not alone on this crazy, exciting journey of entrepreneurship. Looking for tips, insights, and support with all your accounting needs?

Is bookkeeping something that can be done by anyone or should it be left to the accounting professionals?

| 03 May 2023 | EP102: Narrowing Down Your Service Offerings | 00:16:08 | |
The more offers you have, the more money you will make, right? WRONG!
So tune in and find out if narrowing your service offerings is right for you and how you can get paid more to do less.
KEY POINTS: Why you may want to offer fewer services How narrowing down can save on costs What to consider when cutting your list of services “All money ain’t good money.” QUOTABLES: “When you slow down how many services you offer, or actually just streamline down to a lower number of services, you really have the opportunity to make those better.” - Keila Hill-Trawick
“It's hard to be an expert in your field that can provide value to clients when your hands are in a bunch of different buckets. So start looking at your suite of services and ask yourself, could we do less for more?” - Keila Hill-Trawick

| 10 Dec 2020 | Classification Matters : Contractors v. Employees | 00:09:37 | |
So, you’ve reached the point in your entrepreneurial journey where you need help to function effectively. You find the perfect candidates, offer them the job, onboard them and they’re ready to get to work...and get paid. This week we discuss the two classifications of people who do work for you - independent contractors and employees. It is in the best interest of the employer to keep as many contractors on their team as they can. Employees tend to be more expensive, as they’re eligible for benefits (health insurance, retirement, stipends, and other perks) in addition to their agreed upon base pay. Even though contractors are easier to pay than employees, you can’t just classify everyone as such simply because it’s less taxing, literally and figuratively. Questions to ask in making the determination: •Does your company control or have the right to control over when and how the worker does the job? • Will the worker receive benefits? Need more?

While your host isn’t necessarily a fan of the consistent pursuit of growth, she also doesn’t believe you have to go at it alone! If you want to avoid burnout and breakdowns, you need to delegate! Even if you’re staying small, you need a strong team behind you in order to serve clients in the exact manner you want. So in this episode, Keila helps you decide when it’s time to hire help and the steps you should take to do so.
KEY POINTS: - How do you know when it's time to develop a team? - Invest in automations first! - Task doers versus process owners - What is the most important thing for you to hire for?
QUOTABLES: “Most people wait way too long to hire. It’s out of desperation. By the time you are hiring somebody you are in a place where you're like, I just need your help. And the reality is, by the time you do that, it's generally too late.”

| 14 Sep 2022 | Common Cash Flow Challenges and 5 Things to Focus On | 00:08:36 | |
Making enough income in just one side of the equation. Making enough income at the right moment so that you have the cash on hand to pay your team and vendors is another. However, the latter is key to keeping your company afloat. That is why in today’s episode, we’re talking about the most common cash flow challenges and what you can do about that. Most of the time, what you have isn’t a bill paying issue. Instead, not being able to categorize and do your bookkeeping is the culprit. In this episode, I’m talking about why bookkeeping is the foundation of everything, how you should think and approach your invoicing, and how to manage your accounts payable and team payments. We also discuss the importance of planning a budget that covers your expenses, and how to keep track of the cash you have at hand.

Entrepreneurs are no strangers to isolation — we often work alone and make most of our decisions by ourselves. And while we’re used to going at things solo, it doesn’t mean we thrive in that environment.
That’s why we’re so excited to get to know and introduce you to people who are making moves to not only grow their businesses, but working to grow the community of entrepreneur networks. Meet Stephen Miller, co-founder of Locale. Locale hosts pop-up co-working days in non-traditional spaces in New York and Washington, D.C. to connect remote-working entrepreneurs while promoting travel and diversifying work locations.
In today’s interview, we talk about: • Some common obstacles entrepreneurs face while working remotely. • The power of pacing yourself in your business. • Separating the urgent from the important. • Giving yourself time to think abstractly about your business.
As always, thank you for tuning in to the podcast! If you want to find out more about Locale, you can visit www.localeworkspace.com or find them on Instagram - @localeworkspace.
