🌟 EMPLOYEE SPOTLIGHT: BRIAN GOUGH 🌟

Meet Brian Gough, one of our Shareholders here at Hancock/Dana! 👋

Brian joined the H/D team in June 2020 after spending 11 years at a Big Four accounting firm. Ready for a new chapter, he was drawn to the opportunity to work closely with local business owners and individuals making a positive impact in our community.

What does Brian love most about working at H/D?
"I absolutely enjoy the daily interactions I have with my clients and colleagues."

Brian describes himself as an accountant with a salesman-like personality, so building relationships and connecting with others is what keeps him energized!

Outside the office, Brian enjoys spending time with his wife, Jessica, and their three daughters, attending sporting events and concerts, golfing, and fishing for largemouth bass.

✨ A few fun facts about Brian:
- He spent 25 years as an ice hockey referee for local youth and college organizations!
- His Nebraska roots run deep! Brian studied accounting at the University of Nebraska at Kearney before continuing his education at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln and the University of Nebraska at Omaha to complete the coursework needed to sit for the CPA exam.
- His go-to coffee order is simple: hot black coffee. ☕
- If he could have any superpower, he'd choose X-ray vision to help him spot more fish beneath the water!

We're grateful to have Brian's energy, experience, and passion for building relationships on Team H/D!

3 Tax Planning Moves to Consider Before December 31

As we enter the final months of 2026, there is still time to make decisions that could positively impact your tax situation.

Here are 3 strategies worth reviewing:
1. Tax-Loss Harvesting: Review your investment portfolio for opportunities to offset capital gains with investment losses.
2. Strategic IRA Distributions: A lower-income year could present an opportunity to take additional IRA distributions or complete a Roth conversion while managing your marginal tax bracket.
3. New Charitable Deduction: Beginning in 2026, taxpayers claiming the standard deduction may deduct up to $1,000 in qualifying cash charitable contributions ($2,000 for married couples filing jointly).

The goal isn't always to pay the least amount of tax this year. Sometimes the best strategy involves making decisions today that reduce taxes over your lifetime.

A little planning before December 31 can make a meaningful difference.

If you haven't reviewed your year-end tax strategy, now is a great time to have that conversation.

10/15/2026

Tax season is for reporting what happened. Year-end planning is about influencing that reporting.

For business owners, there is still time to make decisions that could meaningfully impact the business and your 2026 tax position.

Three areas to review now:
✓ Get your bookkeeping current, so you know where you stand
✓ Evaluate equipment purchases and other business decisions
✓ Review year-end PTET requirements

The key is to start early. Many of the best planning strategies require action before December 31, not when the tax return is prepared next spring.

At Hancock/Dana, we believe good tax planning starts with a conversation before the decisions are made.

Let's start that conversation now.

🌸 Outside the office, Ruby enjoys going on walks, line dancing, listening to music, making floral arrangements, and watching movies. She also spent six months living in Galway, Ireland, and volunteers at a confidence-building camp for middle schoolers every summer!☕

A few more fun facts about Ruby:
• Her go-to drink is a hot chai latte!
