I became a grandmother again—beautiful baby boy. Being a Grandma never gets old.

Now let's talk deadlines.

February 2: your 1099-NEC and W-2 deadline. ⏰ If you paid contractors or employees in 2025, the IRS doesn't care if you forgot. Penalties start at $60 per form.

1099s still a mess? Reach out and we'll handle it before the deadline hits.

We help law firms and service-based businesses over $250K turn tax season from panic into process.

"Don't be intimidated by what you don't know. That can be your greatest strength." — Sara Blakely

🚨 Tax season scam alert

Your inbox is probably flooded with "your tax document is ready" emails right now.

Most of them are scams.

Here's how to protect yourself:

✔️ Hover over the sender name to see the actual email address. If it looks suspicious or unfamiliar, report and block immediately.
✔️ Don't click any links in these emails. Ever. Even if it looks legit.
✔️ Go directly to the source. Open a new browser tab, type in the website yourself, and log into your portal to get your documents.

Financial chaos is stressful enough without scammers trying to steal your information.

Stay safe out there.

Got your documents ready to send to your tax preparer yet? I help businesses get organized so tax season doesn't have to be chaos. Let's talk. 🗨️

Proactive Accounting solutions for small to mid-size businesses. I help business owners get the financial insights they need to build & grow a financially healthy & sustainable business.

At Lazar Accounting Solutions, we offer a variety of services including Bookkeeping, Accounting & Fractional CFO services. 

Based in Brooklyn, we're your go-to PRO-active firm, offering an array of services ranging from monthly bookkeeping to CFO services such as business plans, cash flow management, forecasting & budgeting. 

Our professional team takes care of all your company's bookkeeping and accounting needs, so you can focus on running your business and generating profits.  
We provide top of the line services at a great price !

It has been my experience that most CPA's do not have the time to handle the day to day & monthly bookkeeping tasks.  
Many times, the CPA will make some journal entries to adjust your books to match your tax return.
While this works well for tax purposes, it does not give the client the financial insights they need to make informed decisions about running their business throughout the year. My specialty is working with business owners on customizing their financial reports so they can make informed business decisions. 

During the pandemic, I spoke with multiple business owners who had no idea how they would be able to keep their doors open for business.  Many business owners did not have the understanding that they needed in order to make crucial decisions to stay afloat.  
During this time, I decided to open Lazar Accounting Solutions.

📊 With over two decades' worth of finance management experience across diverse industries, I am on a mission to equip business owners with the financial insights they need to nurture and cultivate financially thriving businesses.

💼 I built up a firm that offers  proactive bookkeeping customized to your business’ needs. 
Whether you need help with cash flow planning, are drowning in time-consuming bookkeeping tasks, or embarking on a new entrepreneurial journey, we are here to help.

Some of the industries we serve are - retail operations, e-commerce businesses, designers, event planners, property management companies, travel agencies, car washes , car rental companies & law firms. 

Join us on this exciting financial adventure, and together, we'll optimize your business for success.

If you work in real estate, don’t hit “close” on 2025 without checking this first 👀
✔️ Bank + credit card accounts are fully up to date
✔️ Rent roll matches total deposits for the year
✔️ All expenses are recorded (repairs, maintenance, management fees)
✔️ Mortgage payments are correctly split between principal, interest, and real estate taxes—per your bank statement
✔️ December is fully closed, reconciled, and complete
Clean books now mean fewer surprises later.
Before you head out for vacation, make sure your numbers are telling the right story ✨

A client called asking, “Should we open another store?”
Instead of guessing, we built the model: investment costs, operating expenses, projected revenue, and the exact sales they’d need to make it work.
Once they saw the numbers clearly, the decision became simple.

What Is an IOLTA Account and How Does It Work?

1. What an IOLTA Account Is
An IOLTA (Interest on Lawyers’ Trust Account) is a trust account used to hold client funds that are too small or short-term to earn interest for the client. Any interest earned is automatically sent to the state’s IOLTA program to fund legal aid services.

2. Why Law Firms Must Use an IOLTA
Ethics rules prohibit lawyers from mixing client funds with firm money. IOLTA accounts keep client funds separate, traceable, and properly safeguarded.

3. When Funds Go Into an IOLTA
Client money held temporarily—such as retainers, settlements awaiting disbursement, filing fees, or transaction deposits—must be placed in an IOLTA.

4. How IOLTA Interest Works
Neither the firm nor the client earns the interest. Banks automatically remit it to the state’s IOLTA program to support access to legal services.

5. Recordkeeping Requirements
Firms must maintain detailed client ledgers and trust records with monthly three-way reconciliations.

6. Common IOLTA Mistakes
Depositing earned fees into IOLTA, failing to remove earned fees, poor client tracking, or allowing bank fees to hit the trust account.

7. Why IOLTA Matters
Proper IOLTA management protects client funds, ensures ethical compliance, and reduces audit risk.
