Business Tax Preparation · Austin, TX · Serving business owners nationwide

Business taxes done right, by someone who knows your company.

Accurate, on-time returns for corporations, S-corps, partnerships, LLCs, and sole proprietors. We focus on lowering what you owe, not just beating the deadline. And when we find a problem, we tell you, then help you fix it.

Your return is the start of the conversation, not the end of it.

Most firms see you once a year, fill in the forms, and disappear until next spring. That's how problems slip through, like a missed deduction, a payroll filing that never went out, or books that look fine until someone actually reads them.

We work differently. Preparing your return is how we get to know your company. We look at how your money moves, where the numbers come from, and what's coming next year. Then we stay in touch, so tax season holds no surprises.

You work with one person, not a rotating team.The same person who prepares your return answers your call in July.

A small client list, on purpose.Fewer clients mean more time on yours, which is how problems get caught before they cost you.

Straight answers in plain English.You'll know what you owe, why, and what you can do about it next year.

Everything you need to file with confidence.

  • Federal returns: Form 1120 for C-corps, Form 1120-S for S-corps, Form 1065 for partnerships and multi-member LLCs, and Schedule C for sole proprietors and single-member LLCs.

  • K-1s for every owner: prepared accurately and on time, so partners and shareholders can file their own returns without waiting.

  • State returns and Texas franchise tax: including multi-state filings when you sell, hire, or operate outside Texas.

  • A real review of your books: before we file, we check that the numbers make sense. If something looks off, we flag it instead of filing around it.

  • Deductions and credits you may be missing: including R&D credits, depreciation strategy, and owner compensation planning for S-corps.

  • Extensions and estimated payments: filed and calculated when they make sense, so you avoid penalties and cash flow surprises.

  • Year-end planning conversation: what to do before December 31 to lower next year's bill.

Built for small companies, with room to grow to 100 employees

Our best fit is a company that runs on software, has a few moving parts, and has outgrown the "just get it filed" approach. That includes construction companies, manufacturers, wholesalers, online retailers, real estate developers, and professional services firms.

Messy books? Don’t let the deadline be when you find out.

Most people who come to us at tax time have something that doesn't tie out. A bank account that was never reconciled. Ramp or Bill.com transactions that landed in the wrong place. A move from QuickBooks to NetSuite that broke halfway through.

Once you work with us, that stops happening. We clean up what's needed to file accurately now, fix the systems behind it, then keep an expert's eyes on your books all year. Issues get caught when they're small, and tax season becomes routine.

Missed a year? Got a letter? Start here anyway.

If you haven't filed in a while, or the IRS has already reached out, we'll sort out what's urgent first and get you current. No judgment. It happens to well-run organizations more often than you'd think.

From a pile of paperwork to a return you understand

When you bring us in as your tax experts, you’ll have confidence in where things stand, so you can stop worrying about taxes and focus on your customers and growth. Here’s how it works:

Start with a free consultation
  1. Talk it through.A free, confidential consultation. Tell us about your business, your entities, and what's worrying you. We'll tell you what's urgent and whether we can help you save money.

  2. Get organized.We send a short, specific list of what we need. No 40-page questionnaires. If your books need work, we'll say so up front.

  3. We prepare and review.Eric prepares your return, checks it against your books, and walks you through it before anything is filed. You'll understand every number.

  4. Stay ahead all year.Quarterly or monthly check-ins, estimated payments planned in advance, and a person who has the context when a decision comes up.

Key Deadlines

Business taxes aren't just an April thing. For calendar-year businesses:

JAN
January 31: W-2s and 1099s due to workers and the IRS
FEB
MAR
APR
MAY
JUN
JUL
AUG
SEP
OCT
NOV
DEC

An extension gives you more time to file, not more time to pay.

That's one of the most common and expensive misunderstandings we fix.

  • January 31: W-2s and 1099s due to workers and the IRS
  • March 15: S-corp and partnership returns due (Forms 1120-S and 1065)
  • April 15: C-corp returns and individual returns with Schedule C due; first-quarter estimated payment due
  • May 15: Texas franchise tax report due
  • June 15 and September 15: second and third quarter estimated payments due
  • September 15: extended S-corp and partnership returns due
  • October 15: extended C-corp and individual returns due

Local when you want it. Remote when you need it.

We've worked with Austin business owners since 2005, and we know what they deal with: no state income tax, but a franchise tax that surprises plenty of new owners, plus sales tax and multi-state questions as you grow.

After a free consultation, we are glad to meet in person anywhere in the Greater Austin area. Clients outside Austin work with us just as easily by phone and video.

Austin

Your business income lands on your personal return. We handle both.

If you own an S-corp, partnership, or LLC, your K-1 drives your personal taxes. We prepare them together, so nothing gets missed between the two, and your owner pay is set up to work in your favor.
