Common questions
Should my LLC be taxed as an S‑corporation?
Sometimes. It can lower self-employment tax once profits are steady, but it adds payroll and a separate return. We run the numbers with you before you elect.
Can you take over books that are a mess?
Yes. We start with a clean-up quote, reconcile the past year, then move you to monthly bookkeeping.
Which software do you work in?
QuickBooks Online and Xero. If you keep books by hand, we can work from that too.
Start with a 20‑minute intro call.
Free, by phone or video. We’ll ask a few questions, tell you what we need, and quote a fixed fee before any work starts.
