Business Entity Setup:

You started a new business, of course you are going to have a lot of questions. Shoot, you might not even know the questions you should be asking. Dealing with various businesses on a day-to-day basis has led us to experience what works and what does not. From initial entity type selection and incorporating documents to bookkeeping and how to pay yourself; let us guide, educate, and assist you through the process. We have formed strategic relationships with attorneys whom can assist in completing all the documents you need.

Tax Preparation:

Accounting Software Selection and Setup:

Every business operates differently and needs something different out of an accounting software.  Whether it be report generation or simple bookkeeping, each accounting software brings something different to the table.  With years of experience of all the accounting software out there, we know the ins and outs of each.  We want to gain an understanding of exactly what it is you need in order to provide a recommendation of the software that best meets those demands.  Additionally, we will assist you in the initial software setup including chart of accounts, invoicing, payroll etc.
