Books and QuickBooks
- Bookkeeping. Your transactions recorded, categorized and reconciled to the real bank and card statements every month, with catch-up work done first if you have fallen behind.

Filing season and IRS problems

- Tax Planning. Federal and Connecticut quarterly estimates worked out from the year so far, with planning done while the year is still open.

Advice and new businesses
- CFO and Advisory. Cash flow forecasts, a working budget and a monthly talk about the numbers before you commit to a hire, a price change or an expansion.
- New Business Formation. Your LLC or corporation formed and registered with the state, employer numbers in place, and a set of books opened from the first sale.

Questions owners ask before they call
Do you only work with businesses in Connecticut?
No. The office is in Trumbull and the town pages cover Fairfield County and part of New Haven County, but we also keep the books and file taxes for small businesses throughout the United States. Documents move through a secure client portal, so distance makes little difference to the work.
I got a letter from the IRS. Who do I call?
Call (267) 710-6742 with the letter in front of you. We read it, tell you in plain words what it is asking for, and take over the correspondence with the IRS or the Connecticut DRS, including any returns that never got filed.
Can one firm do my bookkeeping, payroll and business taxes?
Yes. The monthly books feed the payroll filings and the return, so nothing has to be rebuilt at tax time from somebody else's records.
Can a messy QuickBooks file be cleaned up, or do I have to start over?
It can be cleaned up. QuickBooks cleanup is its own job, clearing duplicates, fixing the categories and reconciling each account to its statement, and monthly reconciliation after that stops the file drifting again.
Do you offer business consulting for small business owners?
Yes, under CFO and advisory: cash flow forecasting, budgeting and a regular conversation about what the numbers say before a hiring, pricing or growth decision.
How do I get started?
Call (267) 710-6742, Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm, or book a consultation online. Tell us what you have, what is behind and what is due next, and we will say which service fits and what happens first.
Not sure where to start?
Start with whatever is most pressing: a year of books that never got done, a letter from the IRS, a return coming due. We begin there and tell you what else needs attention.
