New Tax Changes on Tips and Overtime for 2025: What You Need to Know

Big changes are coming to payroll taxes in 2025, especially for workers who receive tips and overtime pay. While headlines are promising amazing tax relief, the reality is more complex. There are new rules around which earnings are tax free, new requirements for employers and bookkeepers, and a quick turnaround time for payroll systems everywhere. Here’s what... click here to continue reading

As you may recall, one of our kickstarter backers, Chastity Tacata helped name our next course. Turns out it was such a big topic that we broke it into a two-part series, The Bookkeeper's Clean-Up Kit.

This time of year things are usually much slower for a bookkeeper, which makes it a great time to tackle clean-up work that’s been nagging at you. Whether you're tidying up a chart of accounts or doing a complete overhaul for a client, take advantage of this extra time during the slow season - you’ll thank yourself later.

The Bookkeeper's Clean-Up Kit gives you the tools and workflows to handle messy files and bring a new stream of revenue into your bookkeeping practice!

Part I - Chart of Accounts Clean-Up - In this training you'll learn how to clean up a messy chart of accounts, when a database should just be put down and other ways to leverage software without using the COA (this part of the series is available now)

Part II - Clean up the Books - This advanced training is designed to take you beyond surface-level corrections. You’ll gain the confidence and in-depth knowledge to locate and permanently remove the root causes of recurring errors (this part of the series is coming very soon!)

If you missed the Clean-Up Kit sale back in April, we're offering it again, in honor of part II being released.

Clean up the Books and the Bookkeeper's Clean-Up Kit are on sale right now for a limited time!

We are so glad you are here. Whether you're part of our Bookkeeping Business Membership (for August we're working on our systems and processes!) or improving your skills in one of our courses, we hope Brass Jacks can be a source of education, connection and growth for you.

Because let's face it - bookkeepers are better in community, and fostering that connection is what Brass Jacks is all about.

Happy bookkeeping!
