What do you love most about your job?
One of the most rewarding aspects of working in my role is working with other entrepreneurs. The constant innovation and creativity in the room always inspire and motivates me. I have had the opportunity to work collaboratively on projects, which has challenged me and given me amazing insight into different industries to that I wouldn't always have access. I am always learning from my peers, which makes working with them an incredibly exciting experience for me every day.
What inspired you to start your own business?
Ever since childhood, I have always been an enterprising individual with a passion for business. When the opportunity to open my own startup presented itself, it felt like the perfect chance to realize my dream of flexible hours and financial independence. I believed deeply in what I was about to embark on and so took the plunge. That same sense of passion and drive that initially motivated me is still very much alive today, powering me through challenges and successes alike. Knowing that I am my own boss has further inspired me to do whatever it takes to make sure this venture succeeds.

Accounting
We’re accountants and we enjoy crunching numbers, but chances are good that as a small business owner, you don’t. In fact, you probably started your business because you had a great product or service to offer and not because you were excited about cash flow analysis, profit and loss statements, budget forecasting, and strategic tax planning.
Business Tax
As a business owner, you’re busy developing new products or services and making sure your business runs smoothly. You probably don’t have time to reconcile your bank account or generate balance sheets to manage your cash flow, let alone read up on the latest tax laws to find out which tax breaks you can take advantage of.
Personal Tax Prep
As your trusted advisors, we evaluate your individual tax situation and guide you through any tax challenges that develop. Our goal is to minimize your tax liability so that you can keep more of your hard-earned money. It’s also our job to stay up-to-date on current federal and state tax laws through continuing education and we use our in-depth knowledge of tax codes when we prepare your individual tax returns — so you don’t miss out on any tax credits and deductions that you are entitled to take.
Bookkeeping
Accurate bookkeeping is essential to your company’s long-term viability. Experienced, affordable, and reliable, we serve a variety of industries and clients from self-employed home-based business owners to small and medium-sized businesses with employees. When you outsource your bookkeeping services to us you get one on one personalized service and state-of-the-art technology and payroll software through QuickBooks.
QuickBooks Setup
There are a lot of things to take into account when it comes time for you and your business’s finances. You need a reliable system that can accommodate all the needs, which will include inputting data as well as keeping track of transactions in order not just one day but year after year! And with so many different programs on offer today – from manual spreadsheets or pen-and-paper methods all the way up through advanced software such as QuickBooks (which has been specifically designed by Intuit) – finding an option worth trying out could prove difficult at best; overwhelming likely.
Business Advisory
In today’s fast-paced, competitive world, many businesses face unprecedented challenges. Maybe yours does too. If you agree, then chances are you’re spending more and more time on human resource issues, payroll tax compliance, and sales and use tax than you are on revenue-generating opportunities and planning for future growth.
New Business Formation
The decision to start a new business is an exciting one, but as every experienced business owner knows, there’s more to it than developing a product and hoping it sells. As an entrepreneur, you’re probably a “big picture” person with a vision. You’d rather not deal with nitty-gritty details like choosing a business entity, sales and payroll tax, or accounting systems that help you manage cash flow. The good news is that we’re here to help you figure it out.
