Our Services

We now offer payroll preparation services through one of the major payroll companies. We act as a wholesaler of their product. Basically, we become a middleman between you and the service. We will contact you and obtain the payroll information. Next, we will input it into the payroll service's website who will then prepare the paychecks (including direct deposit), prepare the reports, transmit the taxes and deliver the payroll to you.

Alternatively, we can put you in contact with a representative of the payroll service company and obtain access to your reports online.

If you are contacted by the Internal Revenue Service or any other taxing authority, we can represent you in the matter. By law, the IRS cannot contact you directly if you have authorized someone to represent you on their behalf. Our years of experience with the IRS and other taxing authorities enables us to make sure that you are fairly treated by the taxing authority.

If you receive a letter from IRS (or another agency), please do not ignore it. You only have 30 days to respond to a notice. Please contact us immediately and we will take care of the issue.

The Internal Revenue Service has began strict enforcement of 1099 reporting. We can assist you in determining if you need to file a 1099 and we can prepare the 1099 and electronically file them with the IRS.

We can assist you with the preparation of the quarterly payroll reports (Form 941 and TWC) and the annual payroll reports (Form 940 and W2). The after-the-fact payroll service allows you to process your payroll and make the payroll tax deposits; yet give you piece of mind as we review your computations and prepare your quarterly reports. At the end of the year, we will prepare your W2s and submit them to the Social Security Administration electronically on your behalf.

We can help you with some of the most important part of a business and that is birthing it. While starting your business may be as simple as saying “Hi everyone, I’m here”; in reality it is much more complicated than that. And the decisions you make at the start have long-term impacts and can lead to major tax consequences. So, we can help you decide what form of entity you may want to have such as a sole-proprietor, a partnership, a limited liability company (LLC) or a corporation. We will explain to you the income tax implications of each of those entity choices and why some are better for you in your circumstances than others. The decision is based on who your owners are, what you are doing with your business and maybe even where you are operating from. We will work with you (and your attorney if you so desire) to get you started correctly.
