Stress-Free Bookkeeping & Audit-Proof Taxes: IRS Insider-Turned-Entrepreneur CPA Sheila Koenig Shares What Every Small Business Owner Must Know [Ep. 65]
Description
Does bookkeeping feel scary, confusing, or like something you keep pushing to “later”? You’re not alone—and you don’t have to keep avoiding it.
This week, I sat down with Sheila Koenig, CPA, former IRS insider, and founder of Checking It Twice Bookkeeping. With 24 years of experience (including 16 in IRS appeals, reviewing over 1,000 small business audits 😱), Sheila is here to share the real truth about what gets small business owners in trouble—and how to avoid it.
Inside this episode, Sheila reveals:
✨ The most common mistakes small business owners make (and why they trigger audits)
✨ Why waiting until tax season to “catch up” is the worst thing you can do
✨ Simple, stress-free systems (even pen + paper!) to keep your books clean
✨ The #1 habit that saves time, money, and stress every single week
