Clean books. Solid returns. Fewer surprises.

Who We Help
Built for owner-run businesses
From freelance income to a multi-owner company, start with the records you have today.

Tax Returns
Business returns, and what flows to you
We prepare the entity return and make sure the owner-level pieces (K-1s, owner payroll, state filings) line up with it.
- Schedule C and single-member LLC filings, including California Form 568
- Partnership Form 1065 and K-1 preparation
- S corporation Form 1120-S, owner payroll, and reasonable-compensation review
- C corporation Form 1120 and applicable state filings
Bookkeeping and payroll
Books you can actually file from
Clean records mean fewer do-overs, and you can make tax decisions before the deadline instead of after.
- QuickBooks Online setup, cleanup, and catch-up bookkeeping
- Monthly bookkeeping packages matched to transaction volume and reporting needs
- Payroll setup and support, including owner payroll
- 1099 and W-2 preparation plus year-end account review
Entity Compliance
Starting, changing or closing a business
We handle the tax side of common entity changes, and we work with legal counsel when a question needs a lawyer.
- EIN applications and tax-registration support
- S corporation elections using Form 2553
- Annual filing support and ownership-record coordination
- LLC dissolution and final federal or state tax filings
Quoting
Know the price before we start
Start with a fee estimate based on your situation. Your written engagement confirms the services, tax years and fees included.
What affects the fee: business type, the number of owners and states, transaction volume, how far behind the books are, payroll, and any fixes to past filings. Bookkeeping and tax prep are quoted separately unless your agreement combines them.
What happens after you contact us
Type, owners, states and the tax years that need attention.
Tax prep, bookkeeping, payroll, or a mix.
Securely, through your portal.
Go over the finished returns or reports, then sign and file.
