Small Business Guidance: For Construction Companies


Certain businesses have very unique needs, no matter their size. This is directly affected by the industry they are in. This is true of construction firms. Large or small, they have the same abilities and the same challenges. They each have to pay salaries, office expenses, insurance, and rent. The differences may seem appear in equipment and material costs.
From the outside, it may seem that construction firms with 20-50 employees would take on only smaller jobs and not be in direct competition with large companies. This could not be further from the truth. With the state of technology, almost any small company can produce a finished product of quality. Here is where a problem can present itself. Due to a variety of factors, costs of raw materials have been rising. This can lead to a shortage of cash before payment. When there is more demand, all costs will rise.
        One solution to lowering costs would be to take advantage of technology solutions that have simplified different aspects of the supply chain. Small businesses are very sensitive slow invoicing and payments. This can directly affect their ability to bid for more jobs and keep a steady flow of income. Instead of overwhelming a Project Manager with the task of learning new software tools and keeping up with the variety of active jobs, why not outsource the bookkeeping so it can be clearly monitored and tracked? This way timesheets and payroll will be cared for accurately. This will reduce errors and allow for the company to keep its focus on the main goal.

Early Results from Focused Efforts on High Income Tax Cheats

            Over the past year, the Internal Revenue Service ( IRS ) has used funding from the Inflation Reduction Act on audit activities for those who earn more than $1 million and have more than $250,000 in tax debt. In that time, the IRS collected $1 billion from the group that met these criteria. The increase in funding will allow for other goals to be reached as well.           More staff has been added and technology is being updated to provide better service to all taxpayers in the coming years. The IRS will now expand its enforcement activity to include complex partnerships, large corporations, and high-income high wealth individuals who do not file tax returns. In recent years the IRS was not consistent with enforcing tax rules in this area and had fallen behind in the ways some had gotten around their tax responsibilities. These new initiatives look to bridge that gap. If you are in need of t...

Protect Yourself from Threats

            When it comes to data security threats, the challenges never end. The tactics that criminals use continue to change, but there are some basic things to keep in mind. When it comes to mass email messages or texts, the goal is to get someone to click on a link to steal information or download malware. This is phishing or smishing. An update to this scam is called clone phishing. In this variation, a real email is copied and sent to the recipient again. This time it has an attachment with malicious software or a link to a website designed to steal your personal information.           We can never be too sure how the attack will present itself, but we can be prepared with security measures to protect ourselves. Stop and be aware of warning signs. Unexpected messages with urgent tones telling you to click or download something should be examined closely. Getting a repeated message from a trusted source w...

The IRS Focuses on High Income Tax Cheats

             The Internal Revenue Service ( IRS ) continues to focus on applying the tax laws with accuracy and fairness. With that in mind, they have announced that they are restarting a program that focuses on individuals who did not file returns from 2017 to 2021 and had at least $400,000 in income. They have identified at least 125,000 cases of people who are not in compliance.           The non-filer letters will be going out every week to start the process of filing returns, collecting taxes, interest, and penalties. The basis of these letters comes from information through Forms W2, 1099 and others. Those who receive letters of this nature need to take quick action. The enforcement actions in this program are stronger than usual. That makes it critical that those who receive these letters go to a qualified tax professional . The IRS can be made aware of qualifying deductions and credits that can ch...
