If you’re looking for a firm that will focus on your individual needs, and always treat you like a client who matters, look no further. Our firm is large enough to offer a full range of professional services, but small enough to give you the individual attention that you deserve.
We will thoroughly and conscientiously study your personal situation, and tailor our advice to your specific needs.
Audit Representation
An IRS audit can be an intimidating and complex process. If you or your business face an IRS audit, we can bring to bear years of experience in dealing with tax matters and IRS audit procedures to ensure that you are properly represented when dealing with the IRS and other tax authorities. We also represent clients in payroll, sales tax, state unemployment and state tax audits and examinations.
Bookkeeping and Write-Up
If your business does not currently have accounting staff or if your business is outgrowing its current bookkeeping system, we can provide bookkeeping and write-up services on a monthly or quarterly basis to ensure the smooth operation of the financial side of your business. As your business needs grow and change, we can provide input and planning assistance to make sure your accounting and financial systems keep pace with your business needs.

We stand ready to engage in business consulting projects to help you make the right decisions for the future of your business. Whether you face questions related to expanding, selling or restructuring your business, we have the necessary business acumen and analytical capabilities to help you make the right decisions.
Business Entity Selection
The business entity—LLP, LLC, sole proprietorship, partnership, corporation, etc.— that you select for your business has enormous financial and tax implications. It is important that you make the right decision. We can explain each choice and its implications. As your business grows and changes, the type of business entity you choose may need to change also.

Estate matters affect everyone. By taking proactive steps today, you can ease the way for your heirs during a very difficult time. We can work with your legal counsel to help you to structure your estate and trusts to minimize taxes and ensure the smooth transition to your heirs. We are available to handle all estate and trust tax-related matters.
Financial Statements
Financial statements are an important tool for management decision making. Financial statements also represent your business to lenders, partners, potential buyers and other interested parties. We will work closely with your key personnel to develop and finalize accurate and timely financial statements.
Notary Public Services
A notary public can help you to handle various business matters, including witnessing and authenticating document execution and signatures. We offer Notary Public services, including Electronic Notary service, to existing clients as well as the general public.
Payroll Processing and Reporting
Constantly changing federal, state and local laws and tax regulations make payroll management an ongoing challenge for business owners. Our payroll services professionals are well versed on these laws and regulations. We can proactively alert you to material changes that will affect your business and your employees while also keeping payroll running smoothly no matter how large your business and your employee population become.
QuickBooks Setup and Consultation
Many small businesses choose QuickBooks products to help them track their income and expenses, process payroll and stay on top of their business performance. We can help you determine which version is right for you and help you set it up to meet your company’s specific needs. As QuickBooks ProAdvisors, we also have access to discounts on software and supplies for our clients.
Tax Planning for Retirement
Retirement planning is critical in these uncertain times. Whether you are developing a retirement plan for yourself or choosing a retirement plan to offer to your employees, we can help you evaluate the available options. Our focus is on helping you to make the choice that is most appropriate for your own financial situation. If you are choosing a retirement plan for your business, we will base our recommendations on the unique characteristics of your business and your employee population, as well as the legal and compliance issues related to each type of plan.
Sales Tax
State and local tax authorities are looking to maximize sales tax collections. We can help you understand and manage your sales tax obligations and prepare sales tax returns in an efficient and timely manner.
Tax Preparation and Planning
Effective tax preparation and planning can help you to minimize your future tax liability. We can help you proactively manage both your personal and your business tax issues, including understanding how upcoming business opportunities impact your tax status and vice versa. Not all tax planning opportunities are readily apparent. By having us on your team, you are more likely to benefit from those opportunities. We understand how the latest federal, state and local tax legislation and other developments affect you and your business and we are constantly identifying new ways to reduce federal, state or local tax liabilities.
I-9 Verification
In today’s gig economy, more and more employers are hiring remote workers. Some employers never meet their remote employees face-to-face. This can present a problem. Why is that? The Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 requires all US employers to complete Federal Form I-9 for each new employee and to keep it on file for at least three years after the employee terminates. This form is used to document the employee’s identity and authorization to work in the United States and requires the employer, or its agent, to meet the new employee face-to-face and physically view his or her original identification and work authorization documents. Steep penalties can be assessed against employers who fail to properly complete and maintain Form I-9, as well as for hiring unauthorized workers. How do remote employers handle this situation? Many engage the services of a notary public to act as the employer’s agent for this purpose. We can arrange to meet with your remote employees, view their documents and complete the I-9 as the employer’s agent. This is not a notarial act and our notaries do not notarize the signatures on the I-9 form. We simply act as the employer’s agent for the purposes of documenting the employee’s identify and work authorization status.
