The problem

The tax surprise happens slowly

Tax stress rarely comes from one bad decision. It comes from not tracking your tax savings consistently throughout the year.

  1. January

    Great month.

  2. February

    I’ll save for taxes later.

  3. March

    Business is going well.

  4. April

    I wasn’t expecting that tax bill.

You shouldn’t have to wonder if you’ve saved enough.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is an Estimated Tax Reserve?

It’s an estimate of how much you should set aside for taxes based on your business finances and allocation settings. It’s not your final tax bill, it’s a working reserve that helps you stay prepared throughout the year.

How often is my estimate updated?

As your bookkeeping stays up to date. As new transactions are imported and categorized, Cashflowy updates your estimated Tax Reserve to reflect your latest business finances.

How is this different from my actual tax bill?

Your actual tax bill is calculated by your tax professional or tax software using your complete tax situation. Cashflowy’s estimate is a working reserve that helps you set aside money throughout the year.

Does Cashflowy file my taxes?

No. Cashflowy doesn’t file your taxes. It keeps your bookkeeping current and helps you build an estimated Tax Reserve, making tax filing with your CPA or tax software much easier.

Can I adjust my Tax Reserve?

Yes. You can adjust your allocation settings to match how you want to reserve money for taxes. Cashflowy uses those settings when calculating your estimated Tax Reserve.

What happens if my income changes?

Cashflowy automatically updates your estimated Tax Reserve as your business changes. As your revenue and expenses change, your recommended Tax Reserve updates to reflect your latest financial picture.

Can I ask a human bookkeeper questions?

Yes. Every plan includes unlimited chat and meetings with a real bookkeeper. They can help you understand your bookkeeping, financial reports, Owner’s Pay, Tax Reserve, and other questions about using Cashflowy.

Does Cashflowy calculate my exact taxes?

No. Cashflowy provides an estimated Tax Reserve based on your bookkeeping and allocation settings. Your final tax liability depends on your complete tax situation and should be confirmed by your tax professional or tax software.
