Date: February 27th, 2024 12:42 PM Author: thriller gaping piazza not sure. Dude is doing the paint job now, literally freezing it in a freezer to get "checking" affect on the paint. We ordered some Lindy Fralin hot rails that take a few weeks to come in - he wants me to do single coils, I already have nice single coils in a strat so wanted more of a humbucker (single coil humbucker). We are ordering one to see what it sounds like in the neck position before we order another (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5496464&forum_id=2#47443713) |

Date: February 27th, 2024 10:18 AM Author: Underhanded hairless site In my experience running a law partnership, the issue is that all profits from the prior year need to be "paid out" so there is nothing left in the business in Jan. If you keep a reserve for jan, that's just a buy-in with your own money.
You likely received payment for your Dec. invoices in the prior year because businesses like to get their expenses paid in that calendar year. Your first "revenue" from the new year usually comes after you send out a Jan or Feb invoice and will trail. In the meantime, Jan/Feb/March you still have payroll, and March you have to pay your Q1 estimates again.
Some folks pay themselves out completely in Q4 and then use credit in the firm's name for jan/feb/march so they are not persoanlly at risk.
So even though you may be keeping a cash cushion to pay expenses in Jan/Feb/March, it's really just a loan you are providing back to your firm since the money is technically the last year's profits. |

Date: February 27th, 2024 1:14 PM Author: electric trump supporter This... Money is almost always a little tight the first 2-3 months as we have to effectively drain operating at end of year and just leave a minimal amount left in (which we have to pay tax on) to fund operations during the first two months of the year.
Then over time the operating account catches back up at which point cashflow is not really an issue. |
