Paper Checks Are Going Extinct in September 2025 — So It’s Time to Break Up With Your Checkbook (Lovingly, of Course)
Remember that dusty checkbook in your junk drawer—the one sandwiched between expired coupons and a pen that hasn’t worked since 2011? Yeah... it’s time to say your goodbyes. The federal government just made it official: paper checks are going extinct by September 30, 2025. 🎉
Cue the digital confetti, because while your grandma might be devastated, your business (and your sanity) just got a major upgrade.
But wait—before you shout “FINALLY!” and toss your checks into the campfire, there’s a catch: if you’re not ready, you could miss payments. Like, real money. From Social Security. VA benefits. Tax refunds. You know, the good stuff. This isn’t just a tech glow-up—it’s a financial survival moment.

Creativity and CPAs don’t generally go together. Most people think of CPAs as nerdy accountants who can’t talk with people. Well, it’s time to break that stereotype. Lively, friendly, and knowledgeable can be a part of your relationship with your CPA, as demonstrated by Donna and Chad Bordeaux. They have over 50 years of combined experience as entrepreneurial CPAs. They’ve owned businesses and helped business owners exceed their wildest dreams. They have been able to help businesses earn many times more profit than the average business in the same industry and are passionate about helping industries that help families build great memories.
