01 · Payroll

Payroll

We run each payroll on time and make the tax deposits and filings that go with it. That includes new-hire paperwork, direct deposit, garnishments, and W-2s and 1099s at year end. Your part is approving the hours.

02 · Tax planning

Tax planning and advisory

Planning happens during the year, while there is still time to act on it. You sit down with a CPA before the deadlines to decide on your entity, owner pay, retirement contributions and estimated payments.

03 · Bookkeeping

Bookkeeping & accounting

We record your transactions, reconcile the accounts and keep track of payables and receivables. Each month you get a report showing where the money went. We work in Xero or QuickBooks Online and can set up either one.

Other things we can help with

ITIN applications

If you need an Individual Taxpayer Identification Number to file, we prepare the application with your return and walk you through the identity documents it needs.
