Why We Built Hive Tax Book
Bridging the Gap Between Transactions and Decisions
We saw self-employed individuals struggling to keep track of tax strategies, business compliance, mortgage readiness, documentation, and financial planning.
Most accounting software tracks transactions. Very few systems help business owners track the decisions behind those transactions.
Hive Tax Book was created to help bridge that gap — by providing educational tools, strategy tracking, business resources, and ongoing support in one central location.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who should use this assessment?
This assessment is designed for self-employed business owners, freelancers, S-Corp owners, and independent contractors who want to identify planning gaps, compliance concerns, or documentation issues before year-end.
What is the purpose of this checklist?
This checklist helps business owners evaluate their mid-year status across bookkeeping, contractor compliance, tax planning, S-Corp compliance, mortgage readiness, and business operations — all in one place.
Is this a substitute for a CPA or tax professional?
No. This assessment is strictly educational. It is designed to help business owners identify potential gaps. Always consult with a qualified tax professional, bookkeeper, or CPA for advice specific to your situation.
What does the S-Corp compliance section cover?
The S-Corp compliance section covers payroll status, reasonable salary documentation, accountable plan setup, and corporate minutes maintenance. If you are not an S-Corp owner, you may mark those questions as Not Applicable.
What is an Accountable Plan?
An Accountable Plan is a formal business expense reimbursement arrangement that allows S-Corp owners to be reimbursed for legitimate business expenses tax-free. Without a documented Accountable Plan, personal expense reimbursements may be treated as taxable income.
