3. Look Over Your Tax Payments

Review all the tax payments you made and discuss new opportunities to become exempt in the upcoming year. Your CPA will work with you to adjust your estimated taxes and make sure you are doing what is needed before the next tax season.

4. Add to Your Retirement Account

If you do not have one already, you should make a point to have a retirement plan in place. Develop a plan and make contributions to your account throughout the year. This ensures you will have enough money saved up when you have a need for it in the future.

5. Check Your Financial Status and Your Growth Plan

Where do you and your household stand financially? Take the time to conduct a financial review of your household and learn what investments were effective and what was profitable. Work with your CPA to determine your new financial goals for the upcoming year.
