This episode of Bookkeepers on Fire brings the heat on business meals, tax rules, and real-world money habits. 🍕📄💥
Takeaways that might surprise you:
🥡 Not all meals are taxed — travel meals, team parties, and coffee chats are deducted very differently.
🖊️ You’ll need more than a receipt — think names, dates, and purpose to keep the IRS happy.
🎯 A client’s $500/month Starbucks habit was the reason she couldn’t afford private school — until we broke it down. 🎒💡
🙅♀️ You’re not the IRS police — you’re the guide to smarter spending and sustainable success.
🎧 Give it a listen and discover why good bookkeeping is part education, part reality check.
