Hi! I am trying to help someone with their bookkeeping and get caught up on their taxes. They have not filed taxes or tracked any receipts, expenses, income etc for 2-3 years. They’ve used QuickBooks only for some jobs maybe 50-60%. It’s a mobile mechanic business. Any tips on where to start! Or bookkeeping systems you recommend?
(No need to down talk them, I’ve already scolded them enough 😅)

Xero.
Greatest book keeping software out there.

100% co-sign on this. Xero will help you and your client get back on target painlessly. I would also contact the IRS to see if your client is going to qualify for past refunds, they generally honor up to 3 years of refunds but the penalties could outweigh the refunds

Hi-I have 120K in cash in HYSA. After keeping emergency fund aside. Still have 75-80K available that I plan to invest. After 401k, HSA, IRA and monthly expenses: we are left with 6K every month. So investing 12K every month in market. My worry is with that rate - it will take us 12-14 months to move the extra 75-80K mentioned above. However do not want to make a bulk move. Any advise how to plan the switch. At present have 60K invested in stocks. Thanks

Seeking feedback on GAP insurance. I had a family member who purchased a car in June or July. They were in an accident last week and it sounds like the car will be declared a total loss. Never dealt with this before, so wanted to ask if anyone has ever had an instance where the insurance didn't cover the outstanding balance of the loan and the insured then owed money? Car was $35k, $7k down, finance $28k. Gap insurance is through lender, not auto insurer.
