How much is the IRS actually costing your business?

Most small businesses overpay tax by $8,000–$30,000 a year. Not because they did anything wrong — but because the structure they set up at $50k revenue is the wrong one at $500k. We fix that.

We're specialists, not generalists.

Generalist CPAs are great for everything and great at nothing. We work exclusively with small businesses doing $500k to $10M in revenue. That's it. That focus is why we save clients an average of $59,000 a year.

  • 01 / Service Businesses

    Agencies, consultancies, and pro services

    You bill for time or expertise. Cash flow is irregular, payroll is complex, and most "tax savings" articles don't apply. We know exactly which ones do.

  • 02 / E-Commerce

    Shopify, Amazon, DTC brands

    Sales tax across 47 states, inventory accounting, marketplace fees, multi-state nexus. The tax landscape is brutal. We've done this 100+ times.

  • 03 / Professional Practices

    Doctors, dentists, lawyers, architects

    You went to school for your craft, not the tax code. Practice structure, retirement vehicles, and entity election can save you six figures over a decade.

  • 04 / Trades & Construction

    Contractors, builders, specialty trades

    Job costing, vehicle deductions, equipment depreciation, multi-state filing. Most CPAs don't know what a Section 179 election is. We do it on autopilot.

Three tiers. Real prices.

No "contact us for a quote." If you're between $500k and $10M revenue, your monthly fee is on this page. We adjust based on transaction volume and complexity, but never by more than 20% of these starting prices.

Year-to-date tax projection so you know exactly what you'll owe. No March surprises. Estimated payments calculated and reminders sent.

IRS notices handled

You forward the letter. We respond. You don't speak to the IRS. Included in Tier 2 and 3 — never an upcharge.

Always on

Email & portal messaging

2 business day response on email, 24 hours on portal messages. We're a small firm by design — you'll talk to the same 2-3 people every month.

Five people. Built around your business.

Multi-state sales tax: what you actually owe

Nexus rules, marketplace facilitator law, voluntary disclosure agreements.

Honest answers.

If your question's not here, ask it on the discovery call. We don't do canned answers.

  • We'll point you in a better direction. At $200-500k, you probably need a good bookkeeper plus tax prep, not the full CPA Demo treatment. We can recommend three solid options. We focus on $500k-$10M because that's where our work creates the most value — switching to an S-corp at $300k revenue saves $4k. At $800k, it saves $25k+. We want to send you somewhere you'll get more for your money.
  • Some commodity bookkeeping platforms aren't CPAs. They don't do tax planning. They don't sit on a quarterly call with you. We do all of that. Our pricing is also more transparent — many platforms start cheaper and bolt on extra fees for CFO services; we have one price that includes the strategy work.
  • Yes. About 60% of our clients are remote. Daniel is licensed as a CPA in 7 states and as an Enrolled Agent (federal) so we can prepare returns in all 50. We meet on Zoom, work in your QBO, and the whole thing operates remotely by design. We have clients in Texas, California, New York, Florida, Washington, and 14 other states.
  • That's our most common new-client situation. We do "catch-up bookkeeping" as a flat-fee project — typically $150-$300/month of catch-up — and roll you into ongoing service from there. If you have unfiled returns, we'll quote that separately based on years and complexity. Don't be embarrassed; about 40% of new clients come to us this way.
  • Yes. The best time to switch CPAs is whenever you decide your current one isn't serving you well. We've onboarded clients in March, July, and December — the process is the same. Within 30 days we have your books current, your prior CPA's working papers in hand, and your tax position re-modeled.
  • Daniel asks you 5-7 questions about your business. He'll usually find one specific thing your current setup is costing you (entity election, retirement vehicle, missed deduction). You'll leave with a written summary of what he found. No pitch. About 30% of calls turn into clients. The other 70% get a useful PDF and our blessing to use what we found however they like.
