Stocking Stuffers For Your Business Success

Because your business deserves a little holiday cheer, too

If your December to-do list already feels longer than Santa’s nice list, you’re not alone.

Between closing out the year, juggling holiday plans, and trying to remember where on earth that receipt went, business finances tend to get shoved into the “I’ll deal with it in January” pile.

And January… well, January remembers everything.

So this year, instead of adding more stress to your plate, we created something fun, festive, and actually helpful:

Stocking Stuffers for Your Business Success

Think of it as a holiday gift for your business — no batteries required.

What’s in this business stocking?

Inside, you’ll find small-but-mighty tools designed to help you:

• Wrap up the year without scrambling
• Avoid tax-time surprises
• Feel more organized heading into the new year
• And maybe even enjoy your holiday break a little more

No overwhelm. No jargon. Just practical support with a holiday twist.

The Clean Books Checklist

(aka: decluttering before the guests arrive)

You wouldn’t host a holiday gathering without tidying up first — your books deserve the same courtesy.

This checklist helps you:

• Reconcile bank and credit card accounts
• Clear out “uncategorized” transactions
• Review payroll, invoices, and owner contributions
• Lock things down properly before year-end

It’s like straightening up the house so January doesn’t walk in judging you.

The Deductions Checklist

Because missed deductions are not a holiday tradition

So many business owners leave money on the table simply because things slip through the cracks.

This festive checklist walks through common deduction categories like:

• Marketing & advertising
• Home office expenses
• Software & subscriptions
• Banking and transaction fees
• Payroll and benefits

Sometimes all it takes is a reminder to go, “Oh yeah… that counts.”

Know What You Owe Worksheet

A little clarity beats a big surprise

If the phrase “I’ll find out in April” makes you nervous, this one’s for you.

This worksheet gives you a simple way to estimate what you might owe — whether your income stayed the same, increased, or decreased — so there are no unpleasant surprises waiting under the tree.

It’s not about perfection. It’s about peace of mind.

The Productivity Checklist

Because burnout is not a gift

This section is all about working smarter (especially during the holidays).

You’ll find prompts to:

• Focus on high-impact tasks
• Delegate what shouldn’t live on your plate
• Automate repetitive work
• Set clear goals without overloading yourself

Your business should support your life, not run it.

The Year-End Checklist

Your “don’t forget this” list before the clock strikes midnight

From financial cleanup to 1099 prep to planning ahead, this checklist helps you close the year confidently instead of crossing your fingers and hoping for the best.

Future-you will absolutely thank you.

Bonus gifts (because it’s the holidays and we lost self-control)

We just couldn’t stop the goodies!

You don’t have to do everything — just something

You don’t need to check every box.
You don’t need to spend hours on it.
You don’t need to be “perfect.”

Even a few small steps now can:

• Save time later
• Reduce stress
• Make tax season smoother
• Help your accountant help you

That’s a holiday win in our book.
