[Verse 1]
December's knocking at your door again
Time to wrap the numbers in a bow
Check that odometer one final time
Record the miles that helped your business grow
Your home office served you through the year
Now tally every dollar that you spent
[Chorus]
Year-end ritual, gather what you need
Odometer reading, office totals feed
Photograph the space, market rates refresh
Review every category, make the numbers mesh
Meet your accountant, optimize the split
Year-end checklist keeps your records fit
[Verse 2]
Snap a picture of your workspace zone
Annual update for the tax man's eyes
Hunt for rental rates in neighborhoods
Corporate comparables, no surprise
Every receipt category needs review
Did transportation slip between the cracks?
[Chorus]
Year-end ritual, gather what you need
Odometer reading, office totals feed
Photograph the space, market rates refresh
Review every category, make the numbers mesh
Meet your accountant, optimize the split
Year-end checklist keeps your records fit
[Bridge]
Salary or dividends, which path to choose?
Professional wisdom helps you never lose
The final reading on your dashboard glows
Another business year comes to a close
[Verse 3]
Heating bills and internet and rent
Percentage of your home that earned its keep
Market research shows what others pay
These comparisons run more than skin deep
Schedule that meeting, let experience guide
The perfect balance saves you tax inside
[Chorus]
Year-end ritual, gather what you need
Odometer reading, office totals feed
Photograph the space, market rates refresh
Review every category, make the numbers mesh
Meet your accountant, optimize the split
Year-end checklist keeps your records fit
[Outro]
From odometer to office space
Every detail finds its proper place
Year-end preparation pays its due
Canadian consulting, revenue flows through
