Tax and Bookkeeping Services
Kathryn has extensive experience in tax, which includes tax preparation, consulting, and resolution services for a variety of businesses and individuals. Tax return preparation is performed beyond by rote, with an eye toward identifying tax savings opportunities. Her goal is to provide tax services that balance the cost versus benefit of the tax positions ultimately taken. She makes choices that operate within the boundaries of the tax laws, but pushes those boundaries as needed and available to benefit her clients. She considers the overall big picture that involves both the taxpayers as well as the taxing jurisdictions' goals and resources. Kathryn also offers small business bookkeeping services, which includes payroll, sales tax, and other related tasks as needed by the client. She stands out from other bookkeepers because her services are performed by a CPA with knowledge of both the accounting and tax rules. Bookkeeping is performed with the future tax return in mind, and this service provides a year round ability for clients to know where they stand for business and tax purposes. She provides this quality level of bookkeeping services at rates that beat CPA firms and enables small businesses to focus their attention on where they need to, on operating their business. Kathryn is certified in Quickbooks Online, and also utilizes Quickbooks Desktop as a tool if necessary.
