Tax Preparation
Hired Bob to assist me with 2016 & 2017 taxes after receiving documentation from the IRS. Bob did an amended 2016 Fed return but didn't touch my state taxes or my 2017 taxes, I have since been levied by NY State and now have to find someone else to go back and do work I already paid Bob to do. Very frustrating. I would not recomend his services. More...

I recently moved out of my apartment and the landlord kept some of my security. I sent Bob my recipes and statements to find out why they kept some money.
He then worked the numbers and gave me an itemized statement.
I was satisfied with his work, and will be hiring him again in the future.

Bob is very professional. He takes the time to enter your information and make sure you have everything. I have a Home Equity Loan, and he informed me that I won't be able to deduct the interest next year due to the Tax Law Changes. He suggested that I contact the vendor and ask to have it changed over to a regular mortgage. I have to pay the State of Delaware this year, and he found where the problem was and suggested beneficial changes. Unfortunately for me, this is the last year I'll be using that business. All in all, I was very pleased with the service I received. More...

What kind of accounting services do you provide?
I provide a broad range of tax preparation and small business accounting.
Why is it so important for businesses to hire a great accountant?
As a small business, what you should be looking for is:
1. Minimize your tax bite. A great accountant will not only prepare your tax returns correctly, but offer strategies for helping you pay the lowest amount of tax required by law.
2. Preparing bookkeeping that helps you manage your business. Big companies need expensive CPAs for external parties such as banks and regulatory bodies (such as the SEC). Small business can get great accountants at more reasonable rates to meet their need. Talk openly with the accountant about your needs and a great accountant will supply that need at a reasonable cost.
What do you love most about your job?
I particularly enjoy working with small business clients since I have substantial experience there, but I have worked with many varied needs - basic family returns, filing for a deceased relative, assisting an innocent spouse and serving Americans living abroad. The field has all the variety of the human experience. My goal is to always help each client pay the least amount of tax required by law.
What inspired you to start your own business?
I've been an entrepreneur since my 20's, owning a successful small business for 20 years. Later, I spent 20 years in management with a another company. As I approached retirement from there I knew I would never retire to a rocking chair, so I began Bob Does Taxes. I understand and appreciate small business and get excited about sharing that experience with others.
Why should our clients choose you?
My fees are lower than many you will see for a few reason:
1. I’m not a CPA. A CPA gets to charge much higher fees for their services, and they should for what they go through to get that certification. However, 90+ percent of small businesses do not need a CPA and it is an unnecessary added expense. I have a business degree from Liberty Univ. where I studied accounting and also a Paralegal certificate from Blackstone School of Law. I’ve been working with taxes in the corporate setting for over 30 years and been in private practice since 2011.
2. Many of the large tax firms rent first class retail stores year round for what amounts to a very seasonal business – 10 weeks from Jan to April. I work from a home office and don’t have all that overhead to support. That allows me to keep my fees reasonable.
3. The online services are good for people with simple tax returns – that is one or 2 W2s, and no special circumstances-they are convenient and inexpensive. However, if you have a business or more interesting personal taxes, heed the warning, “don’t try this at home.” Every year I get calls from people who need to have the mess cleaned up after they got letters from the IRS.
4. I use professional tax software and participate in the AFSP program with the IRS which means they monitor my annual continuing education.
Personal Tax Preparation
Ben Franklin famously said, "The only thing certain in life is death and taxes." Sadly, many people end up paying more than they should. Well, I can't prevent the tax man from coming, but my goal is to help you pay least amount required by law.
Business Tax Preparation
Ben Franklin famously said, "The only thing certain in life is death and taxes." A small business opens the door to many tax deductions, and a great account will not just prepare a tax return, but help you find ways to minimize your taxes. Well, I can't prevent the tax man from coming, but my goal is to help you pay least amount required by law.
Small Business Bookkeeping
Bookkeeping should be more than just preparing for the annual tax return. It should be a tool to help you manage your company, reduce taxes and other expenses, and operate more efficiently.
Big businesses often need a high priced CPA to meet bank and regulatory audit requirements. Probably 90% of small business do not need to pay those high fees to get excellent service. That is where I specialize.
Business formation
Delaware is one of the best states to register your LLC or Corporation. I can register the business and serve as your registered agent. I can also provide mail forwarding.
