Retailers deduct 1–5% per violation for late shipments, bad labels, and missing ASNs — dispute fast with PO, ASN log, and proof of delivery.
COGS is the direct cost of what you sold — materials, labor, freight. Revenue minus COGS is gross profit, the verdict on whether your pricing works.
Reconcile every account, assemble the CPA tax package, and lock the year before January — with IRS 1099 deadlines and the W-9s filed first.
IRS rules: the AOTC pays up to $2,500 per undergrad and is 40% refundable; the LLC pays up to $2,000 per return for grad school and skills courses.
Burn multiple is net burn divided by net new ARR — under 1.5x marks fundable SaaS efficiency, while above 3x means growth destroys value.
A BOP bundles liability, property, and business interruption for ~$83/month — but never covers workers’ comp, commercial auto, or professional liability.
Your CAM bill is your pro rata share of common-area costs — check the GLA denominator, enforce exclusions and caps, and object before the deadline.
