Brass Jacks Bookkeepers

~ January News from Brass Jacks~

Published 10 months ago • 1 min read

As we approach the end of the year, we’ve got some exciting updates and resources to help you close out 2025 with confidence and prepare for a successful 2026.

Did you catch our latest FREE training?

There is a massive shortage of CPAs and trained bookkeepers right now.

Which means if your books show up incomplete, inaccurate, or chaotic year after year…
you might not get another chance.

Some clients get fired and others simply can’t find a replacement.

That’s why we've put together a free training on the five avoidable mistakes we see business owners and bookkeepers make every tax season.

This is work that JS normally does inside cleanups, mentoring, and paid trainings.

But too many people were hitting tax season already behind, so JS wanted to make this 5-part training to help.

If tax season tends to feel stressful, uncertain, or like you’re waiting for bad news… this will matter to you.

​Go watch the training now.​

The BEST time to switch bookkeeping and/or payroll software...

The end of the calendar year is hands down the best time to switch bookkeeping and/or payroll software.

That means that now is the best time for you to switch to Brass Jacks Bookkeeper.

And since JR was sick last month and had to reschedule the live session for everyone who purchased BJB, we have moved that to January, which means you can grab your copy of BJB and then join us on Friday, January 9th for a guided walk-through of the bookkeeping and payroll features that make BJB your new go-to software.

Latest Guest Appearance:

Jackie Shaw was recently a guest on the Tony Martignetti Nonprofit Radio podcast. Check out their conversation in the latest episode: Bookkeeping Red Flags & Your Board's Oversight​

We'd love to Hear From You!

Year-end bookkeeping has a way of making even experienced bookkeepers second-guess themselves. Did you get all the W-9s? Does payroll actually tie out? Are those assets coded correctly? What about the loan account? Is the Balance Sheet accurate? And then January arrives…and suddenly you’re trying to find the answers while also trying to get 1099s and year-end work finished. This year, we’re doing it differently. The Year End Bookkeeping Series + Live Work Groups will take you through the...

Hi Reader, When a nonprofit client asks: “Can we use this money?” Suddenly a question that sounds simple… isn’t. Because now you’re thinking about: Donor restrictions. Grant requirements. Programs. Reporting. How it was set up in QuickBooks. What the CPA will expect later. And whether the decision you make today is going to create a mess six months from now. If you’ve ever thought: “I know bookkeeping. Why do I suddenly feel like I don’t know what I’m doing?” That’s exactly why we created...
