If you wait until tax season to think about taxes, you are already behind. The number one mistake Ramp sees small business owners make when it comes to taxes is failing to plan. Most small business owners treat taxes as a once-a-year obligation. They meet with their accountant in March or April, hand over a stack of documents, and hope for the best. By that point, most opportunities to reduce taxes are long gone. Tax savings happen before the year ends, not when filing a...

After a brief stroll along the River Seine, he comes to a halt at the Henri IV Dock with Notre Dame Cathedral just about visible through the mist.
