As 2024 comes to a close, it’s the perfect time for business owners to start thinking about how to maximize tax deductions. One of the easiest ways to reduce your taxable income is by making strategic business purchases as tax write-offs before the clock strikes midnight on December 31! Now is your time to get extra smart (and strategic) by investing in resources that can save you time, energy, and even money — tools your business has likely been needing for awhile anyways!
I’ve taken the guesswork out of spending hours on Google researching the ‘best business tools for 2025’ or ‘tax write-offs for entrepreneurs’, because I’m dropping my top 5 must-haves for you and why I LOVE and rely on them year after year. I only give my seal of approval to platforms that truly help me deliver results and make my and my team’s workflow easier. Whether you need to get a little more organized, you need a website refresh, or you’re prepping for the projects you’ll be starting in 2025, I’ve got you (and your smart tax deductions) covered.
What’s a Tax Write-Off?
Think of a tax write-off like a little gift back for investing in your business! When you spend money on things that help you do your work—like software, office upgrades, or new equipment—you can often subtract those expenses from your income, which means you pay taxes on a lower amount. It’s the IRS’s way of saying, “Hey, we see you putting in the work!” So, if there’s something on your wishlist that could take your biz to the next level, grabbing it before year-end might mean you get a nice tax break to go with it!

Ready to finally get your business ducks in a row? HoneyBook is the platform you’ve been looking for. I’ll never forget when I first joined Honeybook over 8 years ago on New Years Eve to get one final right off. We use it every single week to manage our contracts and invoices, and I can attest from my early photography days that these kinds of details can get chaotic… quickly. Do you need a better client management system? Are you craving a little help with contract workflow (like when to send what contract and getting reminders about it)? Click here to save 30% on your first year with HoneyBook and the rest will be history!

02) Monday.com: Detailed project management.
Some of us on the JK Team call Monday.com our ‘work brain’ and with how many small tasks and details it allows us to keep track of, I definitely agree! We not only trust it to help us task-track but also to ultimately optimize our process rather than waste time and energy wondering “How did we do it last time?” It keeps the collaborative workflow seamless and helps me make sure I don’t drop any balls. My ADHD is a BIG fan of Monday.com!
