Kane Tax & Accounting is a Coeur d'Alene CPA firm led by Collin Kane serving small businesses and individuals across Kootenai County and North Idaho, including Hayden, Post Falls, Rathdrum, Harrison, Lewiston and Sandpoint, and Eastern Washington.
Filing your taxes once a year is catch-up work, not a strategy.
The right tax decisions that change your bill happen earlier in the year - this include things like entity structure, asset sales, owner compensation, retirement contributions, and how you time your income and expenses.
That's why our firm stays engaged year-round with proactive tax planning, alongside tax preparation, bookkeeping, payroll, QuickBooks setup and training, business consulting, and fractional CFO support for growing companies that need executive-level guidance without a full-time hire.
What sets the firm apart is how it's built to work. Pricing is fixed and agreed upfront, with no hourly billing and no surprise invoices, so you know the scope and fee before any work begins.
You work directly with Collin on every engagement - the licensed CPA who reviews your return is the same person who answers when you call, with no staff handoffs and no rotating preparers. The firm stays available through the year, not just in tax filing season.
Multi-state returns are handled routinely, which matters for the many North Idaho clients who live, work, or run a business across the Idaho-Washington line.
Kane Tax & Accounting works with small business owners, self-employed professionals, contractors, real estate investors, and individuals whose returns have grown more complex than software can handle confidently.

Monthly reconciliation, QuickBooks management, categorization, and clear financial reports that keep your books tax-ready year-round - clean, lender-ready numbers you can actually make decisions from, not a shoebox sorted out every April.

It was amazing talking with Collin Kane. He is genuinely a very kind and knowledgeable person.
He showed me quickly how I could have saved a lot more on last year's taxes than H& R block was able to get me.

I’d been doing my own taxes on TurboTax for years and figured I had it handled. A friend recommended Collin at Kane Tax & Accounting and I finally decided to give it a shot.
Worth every penny. He asked me things TurboTax never prompted me on and by the end I got back more than I ever had doing it myself. Kicking myself for not switching sooner.
If you’re in the Coeur d’Alene or Spokane area and you’ve been DIYing your taxes or using one of the big box places, do yourself a favor and just call him. Small business owners especially - there’s a lot of money being left on the table if you don’t have a real CPA in your corner. Collin knows his stuff and he’s not going to talk over your head or waste your time.
Kane Tax & Accounting has a client for life in me.
