Whether You’re Catching Up Or Moving Forward
Some clients arrive with a stack of statements and a deadline. Others arrive with a new LLC and a list of questions. Either way the work is the same: get the record straight, keep it straight, and make sure the next filing is routine.
What Brings You Here?
Three common starting points. Pick whichever one sounds most like you.
How We Help
Monthly bookkeeping and payroll are what most clients rely on. Everything else is built to sit on top of them.
Bookkeeping
Monthly bookkeeping is what most clients here rely on. Transactions categorized, every account reconciled against its statement, and the month closed so the numbers stop moving. Catch-up work runs on its own track, so falling behind does not mean waiting in line to get current. QuickBooks setup, cleanup, training, and reconciliations sit in the same group.
Tax Services
Individual and business returns prepared and electronically filed as an IRS-authorized e-file provider, from a straightforward 1040 through S-Corp, C-Corp, and partnership filings. Prior-year unfiled returns, amended returns, audit support for returns we prepare, and sales tax compliance are handled here too, and so is the planning conversation that should happen in October rather than April.
Payroll
Payroll on any schedule your business actually runs, weekly through monthly, with the deposits and filings behind it handled at the same time. W-2s, 1099s, new hire reporting, unemployment filings, and workers' compensation audit support all come from the same records, which is what keeps them agreeing with each other.
Business Formation & Registration
Forming an entity is the easy part. What matters is the tax classification, the EIN, the registrations that follow, and knowing the compliance calendar before the first letter arrives. LLCs, corporations, DBAs, annual reports, licensing, and registered agent service are handled by the same practice that will prepare the return.
Accounting & Financial Reporting
Bookkeeping produces the record; reporting turns it into something you can decide on. Monthly statements with a written summary of what moved, budgets measured against actual results, job-level costing for project businesses, and financial statements and reports prepared for management, planning, board, and lending needs.
Industry-Specific Accounting
Some organizations need accounting built around how they actually operate—from fund accounting for nonprofits and churches to job costing for contractors, property-level tracking for real estate, and inventory accounting for retail businesses.
Notary Services
Business and personal documents notarized alongside the accounting work, which is convenient when a formation document, a loan package, or an affidavit needs a notary and an accountant in the same appointment.
