Bookkeeping
As a small business owner you may decide that your time is better spent tending to the work of your business than struggling to keep your financial books in order. Our monthly bookkeeping services can be the answer. Simply gather your bank statements, credit card statements, and cash receipts and leave them with us. We will capture all the business activity, reconcile all accounts, and produce financial reports for your review. When tax time rolls around, tax return preparation is a snap because the data has been captured throughout the year.
Business Entity Selection
The business entity—LLP, LLC, sole proprietorship, partnership, corporation, etc.— that you select for your business has enormous financial and tax implications. It is important that you make the right decision. We can explain each choice and its implications. As your business grows and changes, the type of business entity you choose may need to change also.
IRS Representation
An IRS audit can be an intimidating and complex process. If you or your business face an IRS audit, we can bring to bear years of experience in dealing with tax matters and IRS audit procedures to ensure that you are properly represented when dealing with the IRS and other tax authorities.
LLC/Corporation Creation
Once we’ve determined the best business entity for your situation, we can handle the State and Federal filings to create the entity. Included in this process is getting the Tax ID number for the business from the IRS.
Notary Public
A notary public can help you to handle various business matters, including witnessing and authenticating document execution and signatures. We offer Notary Public services and are available when you need us.
Payroll & Subcontractor Payment Services
Let us take the hassle out of running payroll or paying sub-contractors for you. We have years of experience providing payroll services that will keep you in compliance with Federal and State regulations. Payroll can be by check, direct deposit or even onto debit cards. We handle all quarterly payroll tax filings, annual W2/W3 filings, and 1099/1096 filings for sub-contractors. You can submit your inputs by phone, email, or text – whatever is easiest for you.
A special note to any S-Corporations: The IRS is continually ramping up enforcement in the area of “reasonable compensation” for S-Corporation officers. If you are actively working in the S-Corporation, the IRS expects you to be taking a paycheck from the company. Let us help you avoid a problem with the IRS by making it easy for you to get a paycheck.
Sales Tax Services
State and local tax authorities are looking to maximize sales tax collections. We can help you understand and manage your sales tax obligations and prepare sales tax returns in an efficient and timely manner.
Tax Preparation & Planning
Effective tax preparation and planning can help you to minimize your future tax liability. We can help you proactively manage both your personal and your business tax issues, including understanding how upcoming business opportunities impact your tax status and vice versa. Not all tax planning opportunities are readily apparent. By having us on your team, you are more likely to benefit from those opportunities. We understand how the latest federal, state and local tax legislation and other developments affect you and your business and we are constantly identifying new ways to reduce federal, state or local tax liabilities.
Worker’s Compensation Insurance Exemption Filing
Many small business folks in the construction industry find that Worker’s Compensation Insurance is difficult to afford as the business is starting up. We can handle the State filing which declares you wish to be exempt from the Worker’s Compensation Insurance requirement.
