Small Business CPA Services
Verified CPAs for LLCs, S-corps, online businesses, and growing small businesses. Bookkeeping, payroll, entity tax, R&D credit, and founder advisory under one engagement.
Startup-grade playbook
Even if you never raise, the ten workstreams below — SaaS / ecommerce revenue, R&D credit, founder payroll, Delaware filings — are how serious small businesses run finance.
Set books, payroll, and tax IDs up before the first dollar so you don't pay catch-up fees later.
ASC 606 done per contract — not estimated at the invoice level.
Shopify, Amazon, and multi-channel sellers handled with real inventory and sales-tax discipline.
Investor-grade books from the seed round forward — closed and circulated inside 10 business days.
Federal §41 credit, the pre-revenue payroll-tax offset, and §174 capitalization handled together.
A missed 83(b) is unfixable and routinely costs founders six or seven figures at exit.
Reasonable comp, multi-state registration, and equity exercises — coordinated, not siloed.
Most venture-backed startups are Delaware C-Corps — they have their own filing calendar and traps.
A repeatable close inside 10 business days — the cadence investors and auditors expect.
When the books are clean, the next dollar of finance spend should buy strategy — not data entry.
