Built for firms whose product is expertise.

Tax and accounting for agencies, consultancies, and professional practices — owner compensation, multi-state teams, and margins made visible.

Overview

Professional Services & Consulting

Service firms look simple from the outside — no inventory, no factory — and are anything but: owner compensation that must satisfy the IRS's reasonable-compensation standard, remote teams that spread payroll and tax footprint across states, contractor relationships that need 1099 discipline, and utilization that decides margin yet never appears on a standard P&L.

We handle the full stack — entity and owner returns, S-corp compensation planning, pass-through entity tax elections where states offer them — and build reporting around the metric that actually runs a service firm: margin per client, per project, per person.

What we do for you

Entity & Owner Tax

S-corp and partnership returns with owner 1040s — compensation and distributions planned as one picture.

Reasonable Compensation & PTET

S-corp salary benchmarking and pass-through entity tax elections that ease the SALT cap where states allow.

Multi-State & Remote Teams

Payroll footprint, nexus, and registration coordination when your people work everywhere.

Contractor Compliance

W-9 collection, 1099 filings, and worker-classification review — settled before it becomes a dispute.

Margin & Utilization Reporting

Management reporting by client and project — so pricing decisions rest on data, not instinct.

Fractional CFO

Budgets, forecasts, and owner-level dashboards — finance leadership without the overhead.
