What's Included
Support that continues after your return is filed
A once-a-year tax preparer meets your business for the first time every April and has to relearn your situation from scratch. A small business accountant relationship works differently: we stay in touch through the year, so estimated payments, bookkeeping questions, and entity decisions get handled when they come up, not discovered during filing season.
This service is built for owners who want one point of contact for both the annual return and the questions that come up in between, priced as a single fixed annual quote rather than a per-question bill.
What's covered throughout the year
- Quarterly check-ins to review income, expenses, and estimated tax payments
- Coordination with your bookkeeping records, including flagging cleanup issues
- Guidance on sales tax questions specific to your business
- A year-end planning conversation before December 31
- Your annual federal and New Jersey business return, prepared and reviewed
- Priority response when a notice or unexpected question comes up mid-year

Why Small Business Owners Choose Us
A relationship that catches issues before filing season, not during it
Ongoing, not one-time
Your accountant already knows your business by the time your return is due each year.
Quarterly check-ins
Estimated payments and cash flow issues get caught in July, not discovered in April.
Fixed annual pricing
One quote covers the year, so you're not billed separately every time you have a question.
Reviewed before filing
Your annual return still goes through a second preparer's review before anything is submitted.

Common Questions
Frequently asked questions
How is this different from one-time business tax preparation?+
One-time preparation covers a single return. This service is an ongoing relationship: quarterly check-ins, estimated tax reviews, and a preparer who already knows your business by the time your annual return is due.
Do you also handle bookkeeping?+
We work with your existing bookkeeping records and can flag cleanup issues before filing. If you need bookkeeping set up from scratch, we'll tell you upfront and can refer you to a bookkeeper we trust.
What size business is this designed for?+
This service fits shops, contractors, and service businesses typically with one to a handful of employees, where the owner wants a consistent point of contact rather than starting over each tax season.
Do you help with quarterly estimated tax payments?+
Yes. Quarterly check-ins include a review of estimated payments so you're not surprised by a large balance due, or by an underpayment penalty, at filing time.
How much does this cost?+
Pricing is a fixed annual quote based on your business size, entity type, and bookkeeping complexity, covering quarterly check-ins and your annual return. You'll get the number after a short review of your books.
