Problems we solve
The back-office problems that drain time, money, and sleep.
Most home service owners didn't start a business to chase spreadsheets or decode tax notices. These are the real headaches we take off your plate — before they turn into penalties or cash-flow surprises.
Books that never get reconciled
Months behind · unclear profit · bad decisions
You can't tell if a job actually made money. We reconcile your books monthly in QuickBooks Online so you always know where you stand.
Payroll that eats up your week
Late deposits · missed filings · unhappy team
We run payroll through Gusto, handle W-2s and 1099s, and make sure federal and state filings go out on time — every time.
Taxes that feel like a black box
April scramble · penalties · overpayments
We prepare business and personal returns together, estimate quarterly payments, and look for deductions before the year ends.
Sales tax across cities and states
Juggling rates · missed filings · audit risk
You work in multiple jurisdictions; we track the rates and file on time so you stay compliant as you expand.
Workers classified the wrong way
W-2 vs 1099 confusion · back taxes · fines
We make sure contractors and employees are classified and reported correctly, keeping your records audit-ready.
No plan before tax season hits
Surprise bills · missed deductions · cash crunches
Proactive tax planning through the year helps you keep more of what you earn and avoid nasty surprises.

Our promise to you
Three guarantees, not just promises.
You shouldn't have to worry about whether your accountant will deliver. These guarantees remove the risk from switching — and from staying.
30-Day Satisfaction Guarantee
If you're not happy with your first month of ongoing service, we'll refund those fees. If we've already completed a significant one-time project — such as a full books cleanup or tax return — its value is deducted from the refund.
No Long-Term Contracts
Cancel anytime with 30 days' notice. We earn your business every month — never lock you in with setup traps or exit fees.
Late-Filing Penalty Coverage
We file every return and payroll form on time. If we miss a deadline and cause a penalty or interest charge, we pay it.
