If you paid by credit card you could probably get them to refund it.

As an accountant, I do not get why business owners/investors focus so much on the bookkeeping when their expertise is on investing.My typical month-end things I do as an accountant:Bank RecsAnalyze the GL (reclass, if necessary)Make sure Mortgage, Utilities, and Property Taxes are paidCredit Card ReconciliationsReview Income & Expense statementReview Cash balance (this is mostly every time checks are cut) to make sure there's enough for mortgageYear-end:Gathering all backup and documents for the tax accountant or auditorThis includes GL should be close to perfect.Review of Income Statements and Balance SheetsFiscal Year-end bank rec which should match the balance sheet's numbersPrepare 1099sPrepare any CAM reimbursements (commercial tenants properties)As for flipping - same concept, just making sure that the closing entries are done correctly.

Paying off high interest credit cards, working to fix credit to save on borrowing costs, etc. can equal big savings sometimes.Take that money and start stacking away reserves.

I am a foodie so people usually send me gift cards to restaurants.You need to find out what her hobbies or interests are then it makes the gift more impactful and personable.
