Many people wait until tax season to speak with their accountant—but by then, most opportunities to plan have already passed. For individuals and business owners in Conway and across South Carolina, December is actually the most valuable time to meet with your accountant and take control of your financial future.
At Peavy & Associates, year-end meetings allow us to provide proactive guidance that helps clients reduce stress, identify savings, and start the new year prepared. Here’s why scheduling a December appointment can make all the difference.
1. You Still Have Time to Make Impactful Changes
Once the year ends, many tax-saving strategies are no longer available. Meeting with your accountant in December gives you time to:
- Adjust income or expense timing
- Maximize retirement and health account contributions
- Make strategic purchases or charitable donations
These actions can directly affect your tax outcome.
2. Avoid Tax Season Surprises
A December review helps uncover potential issues before they become problems—such as underpayment risks, missing documentation, or unexpected tax liabilities.
Planning ahead means:
- Fewer surprises in April
- More accurate estimated payments
- Greater peace of mind
3. Get a Clear Financial Picture Before January
Year-end reviews go beyond taxes. December meetings provide insight into your overall financial health so you can:
- Set realistic goals for the coming year
- Create or refine budgets
- Make informed business decisions in Q1
4. Small Business Owners Benefit Even More
For business owners in Conway and Horry County, December planning is especially valuable. It’s the ideal time to:
- Clean up bookkeeping records
- Prepare for payroll and 1099 filings
- Review cash flow and profitability
- Plan for growth or staffing changes
5. Start the New Year Organized & Confident
Meeting with your accountant before the new year means you’re not scrambling in January. Instead, you’ll enter the year with clear expectations, organized records, and a plan already in place.
