Cash Accounting

The cash accounting method is both less complicated and less costly to maintain, while reducing regulatory risk, versus more sophisticated tax methods required in the past. More small businesses can use this favorable method; now firms with up to $10M in gross receipts, up from $5M, can opt in.

It’s not a reach to expect that a small business would save money from less complexity associated with their taxes. These savings, and the attention that would otherwise be focused on complex tax compliance matters, could be used to improve a venture’s chances for success.

Favorable winds are at the back of the entrepreneur and investor alike. But, if their respective sails aren’t set to catch those winds then the creation of good-paying jobs and the realization of market-transforming innovations will be less robust than it could be otherwise.

Those close to the entrepreneur and private investor, that is, anyone directly or indirectly tied to the economic development eco-system (you know who you are), would do well to take it upon themselves to “inform and educate” as it is safe to assume that the intended beneficiaries of this favorable legislation are focused on developing cutting edge technologies and making the next deal, and not so much on deciphering government policy.
