Your ETB News & Tips

– December Debut Edition

Welcome to the very first edition of the ETB Newspaper — where bookkeeping finally feels human, tax season is a little less scary, and financial clarity comes with warmth, personality, and the straight talk you deserve.

If you’re here, it’s because you value clarity — and you’re tired of guessing.

Same. That’s exactly why I built ETB.

So, grab your coffee, take a breath, and let’s make your December feel a little lighter.

What’s Happening at ETB This Month

December is the month when ETB shifts into “quiet hustle” mode — prepping everything so YOU don’t end up stressed in January.

Behind the scenes, I’m working on:

·        Refreshing every client’s SmartVault structure

·        Wrapping up year-end bookkeeping checks

·        Preparing personalized tax organizers (coming soon!)

·        Reviewing payroll + compliance for entities

·        Creating your 2025 tax-season roadmap

·        And making sure the small things don’t turn into IRS surprises

You don’t see it happening — that’s the beauty of it.
Your chaos stays my job… not yours.

“Think of me as your financial headlights — clearing the fog before you hit the 2026 highway.”

SABINE SAYS:

“If you’re stressed about your finances, it’s never because you’re doing too little — it’s because no one taught you the right way yet. That’s what I’m here for.”

Light Year-End Prep (Keep It Easy!)

Before tax season rolls in, here’s what helps:

·        Put your important forms in one place (digital or physical)

·        Snap photos of receipts you don’t want to lose

·        Keep personal + business separate

·        Upload any IRS letters into your vault

·        Make note of major purchases or business changes

That’s it.
No overwhelm.
No spreadsheet nightmares.
Just the basics — the rest is on me.


Now the Fun Part: What Actually Changed in 2025 (Laws)


"One Big Beautiful Bill Act"

Tax law updates don’t have to feel overwhelming — and honestly, most people only need the part that affects them.
So here’s the version that matters, in real language, with zero fluff.


ETB Summary: What All This Really Means for You

***You may owe less tax than previous years — if your return is structured properly.***

***Some clients automatically qualify for bigger deductions, but only if we file correctly.***

***Business owners have major planning opportunities they shouldn’t ignore.***

***Tip earners and hourly workers may access a brand-new deduction.***

***Families with assets should review their estate strategy — laws changed in their favor.***


*Coming in January

A few exciting things are on the way:

Your 2025 ETB Organizer (simple, clean, personalized)

A “What You Actually Need for Tax Season” checklist

The most-forgotten documents people miss every year

ETB’s 2026 workflow timeline

One new habit that will completely change next year’s books

Stay tuned — January’s issue will be a good one
