A Pleasant View woman has been indicted in a stalking case involving U.S. Senator Marsha Blackburn and one of her family members. According to court documents obtained by Williamson Scene, 23-year-old Elizabeth Leopard was indicted last week following an investigation into messages reportedly sent to Blackburn and her daughter-in-law between May 1 and May 8.

On May 12, TBI agents joined the Williamson County Sheriff’s Office and Tennessee Homeland Security in investigating the threats and harassing messages. Investigators later presented evidence alleging Leopard was responsible for sending the messages.

On Thursday, agents with the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation arrested Leopard at her home in Pleasant View. She was booked into the Williamson County Jail and held on a $100,000 bond.

Leopard is charged with one count of aggravated stalking involving a person age 65 or older, one count of stalking, and six counts of harassment.

TBI says the charges and allegations referenced in this case are accusations of criminal conduct and not evidence. Leopard is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.

6/11/26: Clear Skies and 89.6, High Reaching 91.8, Calm Winds Ahead

Most business owners don’t make one big mistake when it comes to taxes. Instead, it’s usually a series of small decisions made throughout the year—when income is taken, when expenses are booked, whether purchases are timed strategically, and how often financials are actually reviewed. The challenge is that these decisions don’t feel like “tax decisions” in the moment. They feel operational. And by the time tax season arrives, those decisions are already locked in. At that point, there’s very little left to optimize. You’re no longer planning—you’re reporting. That’s where many businesses lose opportunities without even realizing it. Quarterly tax advisory changes that dynamic. It brings tax strategy into the day-to-day rhythm of your business, so decisions are made with clarity—not hindsight. What You’ll Learn in This Article In this guide, you’ll understand: The real difference between tax preparation and ongoing advisory Why quarterly reviews play a bigger role than most business owners expect How proactive planning reduces surprises and improves cash flow The practical benefits of working with a quarterly tax advisory structure What this process looks like at TriStar Who benefits most from this level of planning The Difference Between Tax Preparation and Tax Advisory Most people think of taxes in terms of filing. Getting everything organized. Submitting returns. Meeting deadlines. That’s tax preparation—and it’s important. But it’s also limited. Because it happens after the year is over. By then, your income is fixed. Your expenses are recorded. The outcome is largely set. Tax advisory works differently. It’s less about looking back and more about staying ahead. Instead of asking, “What happened last year?” the focus shifts to, “What should we be doing right now?” That shift might seem small, but it changes everything. For example, the IRS estimated taxes guide explains how businesses are expected to pay taxes throughout the year—not just at filing time. The problem is, many businesses base those payments on outdated numbers. Quarterly advisory makes those estimates more accurate—and more strategic. Why Quarterly Reviews Matter If your business were perfectly predictable, you could plan taxes once and be done. But that’s rarely the case. Revenue moves. Expenses creep up or drop. Hiring plans change. Opportunities come up that weren’t on the radar three months ago. Each of these shifts has a tax impact. The issue isn’t that things change—it’s that they often go unreviewed. Until year-end. Quarterly advisory gives you a natural checkpoint. Not a full overhaul. Just a pause to step back and ask: Are we on track? Has anything changed? Do we need to adjust? This is where better decisions start to happen. The SBA’s financial management guide talks about the importance of regularly reviewing your financials. Quarterly advisory simply turns that idea into a consistent habit. Key Benefits of Quarterly Tax Advisory Fewer Surprises at Tax Time Most “surprise” tax bills aren’t actually surprises. They’re the result of not revisiting assumptions. Quarterly reviews keep your numbers current. That alone makes a big difference. You’re not guessing what you owe—you have a working estimate that evolves with your business. Smarter Business Decisions Every business decision has a tax angle—even if it’s not obvious at first. Buying equipment. Hiring someone. Taking on new contracts. Adjusting pricing. Individually, these decisions seem operational. Together, they shape your tax outcome. When you’re reviewing your financials regularly, you start seeing those connections more clearly. And once you see them, you can plan around them. Greater Tax Savings Some of the best tax strategies only work if they’re implemented during the year. Not after. That includes things like: Timing expenses or income Planning depreciation Structuring compensation Making retirement contributions Miss the timing, and the opportunity is gone. Quarterly advisory doesn’t guarantee savings—but it makes sure you’re actually in a position to capture them. Improved Financial Clarity There’s a practical benefit that often gets overlooked. When you review your numbers regularly, your finances stay cleaner. Fewer surprises. Fewer last-minute adjustments. Fewer “we’ll fix it later” situations. Over time, that clarity compounds. If you want a broader understanding of how financial reporting supports decision-making, this overview of financial statements is a helpful reference. What Quarterly Advisory Looks Like at TriStar At TriStar Tax and Business Solutions, quarterly advisory isn’t treated as an add-on. It’s part of how planning is done properly. Each quarter, the focus is straightforward: Review what actually happened Compare it to expectations Identify anything that needs adjustment Plan next steps with tax impact in mind That might include updating projections, refining estimated payments, or identifying planning opportunities before they pass. Over time, this creates consistency. Instead of scrambling at year-end, you’re building toward it. You can explore how this fits into broader planning through the TriStar services page or learn more about the Quarterly Tax Advisory Service. Who Benefits Most from Quarterly Tax Advisory Not every business needs the same level of planning—but some clearly benefit more than others. If your income is growing, complexity tends to follow. If your income fluctuates, timing becomes more important. If your tax bill is increasing, missed opportunities become more expensive. Quarterly advisory is especially useful for: Growing businesses that are starting to feel tax pressure Entrepreneurs with inconsistent income High-income individuals looking for proactive planning Businesses that want more control over cash flow and forecasting This idea of ongoing financial review isn’t new. It’s also reflected in TriStar’s article on 5 Financial Resolutions for Small Business Owners in 2026, where consistent planning is highlighted as a key driver of long-term results. Frequently Asked Questions About Quarterly Tax Advisory How often should I review my taxes as a business owner? For most businesses, quarterly reviews strike the right balance. They’re frequent enough to catch changes early, but not so frequent that they become overwhelming. That’s why structured services like Quarterly Tax Advisory are built around a quarterly cadence. Is quarterly tax advisory only for large businesses? No. In many cases, small and mid-sized businesses benefit the most, especially as they begin to grow or experience fluctuating income. The earlier you introduce structure into your planning, the more control you have over your outcomes. What’s the difference between bookkeeping and tax advisory? Bookkeeping focuses on recording financial activity. Tax advisory focuses on interpreting that data and using it to guide decisions. Quarterly advisory connects the two turning financial data into actionable strategies. Will quarterly tax planning actually reduce my taxes? Not automatically—but it gives you the opportunity to implement strategies that can reduce your liability. Without planning, most of those opportunities are missed simply because the timing isn’t right. When should I start quarterly tax advisory? Ideally, before your business reaches a point where taxes feel unpredictable. But even if you’re already dealing with large or inconsistent tax bills, it’s not too late to bring structure into the process. Plan Now, Save Later There’s no single moment where tax strategy “happens.” It builds gradually—through decisions made across the year. Quarterly advisory simply makes those decisions more intentional. Instead of reacting at the end, you’re adjusting along the way. That shift doesn’t just improve your tax outcome. It improves how you run the business. Structure Impacts Strategy Your tax approach is not just about compliance—it’s part of your overall financial strategy. The right planning structure can reduce liability, improve cash flow, and position your business for long-term growth.
