Accounting Services
If your business doesn’t have an accountant on staff, bookkeeping can be an exercise in frustration. Let us make your job easier with our bookkeeping service. We will manage your chart of accounts and keep a set of books that accurately reflects the financial state of your business.
Business Tax Services
Managing state and local taxes can be complicated for a small business. Our business tax services can simplify these taxes for you by tracking and submitting your Sales tax, Franchise & Excise tax, Professional Privilege Tax, Business Tax (County/City), etc. giving you more time to focus on your business and keeping you compliant.
Bookkeeping Software Training
Keeping an accurate set of books is a necessary part of any business, and bookkeeping software can make that task a lot easier. But sometimes it takes help to get familiar with a new piece of bookkeeping software. We can help you create your chart of accounts, close out your old books, and make efficient use of your new bookkeeping software.
Business Consulting
Sometimes it’s good to get an outside perspective from a professional you can trust. Whether you need help solving a problem that faces your business or weighing the costs and benefits of an opportunity, we can provide the perspective you need. With our business consulting services you can count on getting an independent view that provides the insight you need to make decisions that further your goals.
Business Entity Selection
Choosing how a new business will be organized can be a confusing and critical decision. Sole proprietorships, partnerships, LLCs, and corporations all offer differing levels of protection and complication for the business owners. We can help you decide which structure is the right fit for your business, and help you reevaluate that decision as your business grows.

Financial statements are useful tools for decision making and for representing the state of your business’ finances to outside parties. We can work with your staff to produce accurate monthly or annual financial statements that reflect the financial health of your business.
