One firm for taxes, books, payroll & planning

Every service is handled personally — not outsourced, not automated guesswork. Here's what we handle.

Expertly prepared returns, zero surprises

We prepare federal and California returns for individuals and businesses, with year-round planning built in — not just a once-a-year filing.

  • Individual returns (Form 1040) — including RSUs, stock options, and rental income
  • S-Corp returns (Form 1120-S) and partnership returns (Form 1065)
  • Multi-state returns and California FTB compliance
  • Proactive tax planning: entity strategy, retirement contributions, deduction timing
  • Amended returns and prior-year cleanup

Who this is for

Freelancers and consultants, tech employees with equity compensation, landlords and real estate investors, and small business owners who want a tax advisor who plans ahead — not one who just files what happened.

What you get every month

A clean set of books and a financial package: profit & loss, balance sheet, and cash flow — delivered monthly, explained in plain English when you want it.

Start With Clean Books

Books you can trust, in QuickBooks Online

Accurate books aren't just for tax season — they're how you know if your business is actually making money.

  • Transaction categorization and coding
  • Bank and credit card reconciliation
  • Monthly financial statements (P&L, balance sheet, cash flow)
  • Catch-up & cleanup bookkeeping for businesses behind on their books
  • 1099 contractor tracking and year-end filing
  • QuickBooks Online setup, chart of accounts design, and training

The full S-Corp package, done right

An S-Corp can cut your self-employment tax substantially — but only if the formation, payroll, and compliance are handled correctly. We do all of it.

  • Entity analysis: is an S-Corp actually right for you?
  • LLC formation and S-election filing (Form 2553)
  • Reasonable compensation analysis and documentation
  • Owner payroll setup and ongoing payroll support
  • Annual 1120-S return and California compliance (including the $800 franchise tax and Form 100S)

Rule of thumb

If your business consistently nets $80,000+ per year, an S-Corp is worth a serious look. Below that, the added payroll and compliance costs often eat the savings — and we'll tell you that honestly.

The supporting services that keep you compliant

💵

Payroll Support

Payroll setup and oversight for owners and employees — including quarterly 941s, annual W-2s, and California EDD filings. We coordinate directly with your payroll provider or run it through QuickBooks Payroll.

🧮

Quarterly Estimates

Four times a year we calculate exactly what to send the IRS and FTB based on your actual year-to-date numbers — not a guess from last year. No more underpayment penalties or fat interest-free loans to the government.

🛡️

IRS & FTB Notices

We read the letter, explain what it actually means, respond on your behalf, and pursue penalty abatement when you qualify. Most notices are resolvable — the key is responding correctly and on time.
