Tax, books, entities, accounting, trust, and QuickBooks. Flat, hourly, monthly, or the project — priced once we've seen the file, then we get on with it.
Taxes
Returns are the last step, not the product. We plan through the year so filing season is a confirmation, not a surprise — personal returns, business returns, property tax questions, and the cleanup that has to happen before any of it is honest.
Personal and business tax returns
Planning that actually changes the next quarter
Sales tax returns and audit support
1099 and W-2 preparation
Bookkeeping
We keep the file current: bank and card reconciliations, payables, receivables, and a cash picture you can read without a translator. The point is a business that can make a decision on a Tuesday.
Monthly reconciliations
Accounts payable and receivable
Cash position you can act on
Clean history before tax season, not during it
Entity set-up
Formation is cheap to do and expensive to undo. We help owners choose and stand up the entity, then connect the unglamorous pieces: banking, licenses, and a chart of accounts that matches how the company actually earns.
LLC set-up and preparation
Bank, investment, and credit-line openings
Online banking and license applications
A chart of accounts that fits the work
Accounting
Once the books are true, we use them. Financial reporting, budgets, cash-flow projections, and the specialty reports operators actually ask for — affiliate commissions, merchant fees, construction draws.
Financial reporting and review
Budgets and cash-flow projections
Specialty and management reports
A straight answer when the numbers look off
IOLTA trust
Interest on Lawyers Trust Accounts do not forgive sloppy books. We manage IOLTA activity so client funds, firm funds, and the bank stay in agreement — and so a bar inquiry is a file you can hand over, not a week you lose.
Trust activity recorded as it happens
Client ledgers kept separate from operating
Reconciliations that can be explained
A file built for compliance, not for hope
Training
Some owners want the desk back. Some want their own team to stop breaking the file. We train on QuickBooks — setup, cleanup, and the daily motions — until the person in the chair can run it without us narrating.

Setup that matches the workflow
Cleanup before the lessons, so you are not memorizing errors

Rates
Flat, hourly, monthly, and project. The number follows the scope, how long it will take, how much history has to be reconciled, and whether the work is on site or virtual. Ask for an estimate — the first conversation is complimentary.
Payroll is usually a flat rate, often 30–40% under a typical outsourced processor. Taxes set to pay themselves. Direct deposit when you want it.
