Our monthly bookkeeping services maintain accurate financial records by tracking income, expenses, assets, and loans. We handle bank reconciliations, credit card processing, and back-office support for businesses of all sizes. Our certified professionals use QuickBooks software to provide real-time financial insights that help business owners make informed decisions.
Tax Preparation
We prepare and file federal and state tax returns with expert review by IRS Enrolled Agents. Our services include 1099 filing, franchise tax reporting, and property tax assessments. We ensure compliance with current tax codes while maximizing deductions and minimizing liabilities for both businesses and individual taxpayers.

We assist with business formation by filing Articles of Incorporation, obtaining EINs, and setting up sales tax permits. Our comprehensive startup package includes establishing payroll systems, SUTA accounts, and EFTPS pins to ensure new businesses meet all regulatory requirements from day one.

Our IRS Enrolled Agents negotiate tax debt settlements and resolve filing discrepancies. We represent clients in tax disputes, handle lien releases, and develop payment plans to address outstanding federal tax obligations while protecting client interests throughout the process.
