Laura Tackett, owner of Agile Accounting, volunteers as Children’s Literacy Network’s Treasurer, as part of her commitment to community investment. CLN's early childhood initiatives work to prevent achievement gaps before they take root. Since literacy development starts long before formal schooling begins, these programs empower parents and caregivers with tools to support their children's reading development at home.

Quarterly Taxes: Your Business's Best Friend in Disguise

There's a peculiar disconnect that happens when you become a business owner. You learn to think in cycles - quarterly reviews, seasonal fluctuations, and monthly cash flow patterns. You understand that revenue doesn't arrive in neat, predictable chunks, and you adapt accordingly.
