Payroll, bookkeeping, and taxes done right for local businesses

What we can take off your plate

From a single W-2 to a growing company with employees, our team covers the full picture of your finances.

Business Tax Preparation

Your business return should agree with your books, your payroll, and your bank account. We prepare returns for LLCs, S corporations, and partnerships, and because we work with many of our clients all year, nothing important gets rebuilt in a panic at the deadline.

Personal Taxes

A careful return is more than data entry. We ask about the year you actually had: the new job, the side work, the baby, the house. Then we make sure every credit and deduction you are entitled to makes it onto the return.

Bookkeeping

Good books are quiet books. Every month we record your income and expenses, reconcile your accounts, and close the month with reports you can actually read, so you always know what you earned, what you spent, and what is coming next.

Payroll

Payday should be the easiest day of your week. We calculate wages, withholdings, and deductions, run your payroll on schedule, and file the payroll taxes and reports that come with it, so you never have to think about deadlines or penalties.

New Business Setup

Starting a business is exciting. The paperwork does not have to be painful. We help you choose between an LLC and an S corp, register with the state, get your EIN, and set up bookkeeping and payroll that will still make sense a year from now.

ITIN Applications & Renewals

If you need an Individual Taxpayer Identification Number so a tax return can be filed for you, we walk you through the application or renewal step by step, in Spanish, and help you gather the right documents so the process goes smoothly.
