Accounting, Bookkeeping & Tax Services for Businesses

The first year sets the pattern. Books kept clean from the start mean every deduction is supported, returns are accurate, and statements are ready when a bank or investor asks. Untangling a messy first year later costs far more.

LLC, S corporation or C corporation, chosen around how the business will earn money, pay its owners and raise funding. EIN, state registration and first-year filings are set up in the right order.

Bank and card accounts, QuickBooks, invoicing and receipt capture set up before the first sale. The approach to training goes past data entry: what each number means, gross margin, cash flow and the key ratios behind every decision. 

Every industry runs on different numbers. A contractor tracks jobs and retainage, a trucking company tracks cost per mile, a product business tracks inventory and cost of goods sold. A generic chart of accounts hides the numbers that matter.

IRS and California EDD employer registrations, payroll software, withholding, new-hire reporting and workers' comp set up before the first paycheck, so quarterly and year-end payroll filings are right from the start.

Developing a prototype, product, app or property to sell or pitch to investors? Every cost of building it, from materials and contractors to software and development time, is tracked from day one. Buyers and investors ask for these numbers, and the tax treatment depends on them.
