Entity Selection and Restructuring
The entity you choose to structure your business depends on multiple factors and impacts your taxes and other liabilities.

If you are already established, we may have suggestions for restructuring that would work to your advantage. Whether your questions are about business or personal taxes, we’ll not only guide you through the process, but will explain the pros and cons of each potential option, always with your best interest in mind.
QuickBooks Accounting Help and Assistance
QuickBooks has quite successfully become the industry standard. While it can seem so helpful and exciting for a new or small business, the truth is that it’s a complex software for those who look to get the most value out of its implementation. For that reason, we’ll help you choose the right version of the software for you, install it throughout your organization, setup a multitude of options, capture and process your company’s data, and teach/support you and your business until you are QuickBooks experts yourselves.
Accounting Reviews
When you are a new or small business, it’s likely you have someone who is multi-tasking and “handling” the books. When you have the staff to perform daily accounting activities and payroll tasks but need an accounting professional to review their work, we’re ready to help. This review ensures that you are receiving the most pertinent information so that you can make the best decisions about the growth of your business. When we perform accounting reviews, we work with your staff to make corrections, adjustments, and reclassifications to ensure that your financial reporting reflects the correct financial condition of your organization.

We work with you to both correct your existing control processes and create the ones that you have missed or may soon need to further develop your business.
