  Many businesses know what they pay for raw materials and labor. What they often miss: the hidden overhead - electricity, setup time, maintenance, admin work - that quietly eats away at profit. In this post, my team walks you through Activity‑Based Costing (ABC), a method that ties expenses directly to the activities that consume resources. We explain how ABC works, show why traditional costing often masks real costs , and demonstrate how ABC helps you: see which products or processes are truly profitable, price services more wisely, and spot inefficiencies fast. If you manage manufacturing or complex operations, ABC can offer clarity, better decisions, and stronger bottom-line results.

  If you’ve recently upgraded or renovated your commercial property, there’s a powerful tax advantage you might be missing - Qualified Improvement Property (QIP). Under the current tax laws, QIP allows businesses to accelerate depreciation on certain interior improvements like lighting, HVAC systems, ceilings, and flooring. Instead of depreciating these costs over 39 years, you can write them off over just 15 years — and in many cases, even qualify for 100% bonus depreciation in the same year.   In this insightful blog from ProcStat , we explain how QIP works, what qualifies, and how to apply it strategically. You’ll also learn how proper classification can significantly enhance your cash flow and reduce tax liabilities. Many property owners miss out simply because improvements are misclassified or unreported — costing them thousands in unrealized savings.   Whether you manage multiple commercial locations or handle property renovations, this guide helps you turn re...

  The One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) is poised to bring clarity and continuity to the U.S. tax landscape in 2026. Rather than overhauling the system, it extends the benefits of the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act—like lower income tax rates and an increased standard deduction—that were set to expire.   With inflation-based adjustments, tax brackets and deductions will rise slightly, helping many middle-income earners avoid higher taxes. For instance, a taxpayer earning around $50,000 could stay in the 12% bracket instead of moving up due to these new thresholds.   Business owners stand to gain as well, with the 20% Qualified Business Income (QBI) deduction becoming permanent. This means pass-through entities can continue enjoying substantial tax relief.   In essence, 2026 promises stability, predictability, and smart tax savings —a welcome change for individuals and businesses alike.   Read more: https://procstat.com/knowledge-center/blog/how-the-one-big-beaut...
