Now that you work from home, are holiday bonuses and parties a thing of the past? They don’t … Continue reading →

Merry Christmas, Home Based Professionals

End of Year Accounting

It’s New Year’s Eve, and for a lot of people, that means preparing to party. We’re kind of boring at my house. We got all partied out last week, with Christmas.

If you enjoy gift exchanges and are working from home, you don’t have to give that up. Depending on the field you are working in, you may be able to incorporate this fun tradition.
