We are a CPA led firm that works with small business owners on their taxes throughout the year. We keep filings compliant, quarterly estimates accurate, and identify potential tax exposures early so you are not left with unexpected tax liabilities or IRS notices.
At that stage, tax decisions affect cash flow, compliance, and long-term financial stability. Ongoing CPA review helps keep those decisions aligned with the business as it evolves.

Business owners typically consider a change in tax support after growth or increased complexity in their business or tax returns.
In our experience, business owners begin to reassess their current tax support when:
When those patterns continue, business owners often want a CPA who reviews income, payroll, and structure together and provides consistent oversight throughout the year.
At Accolade Accounting, we work with small business owners who want ongoing reviews, accurate estimates, and confidence that their filings accurately reflect their business performance
When evaluating small business tax support, credentials are the starting point. A Certified Public Accountant is licensed and authorized to represent clients before the IRS.
Beyond credentials, structure matters.
Some firms focus primarily on preparing the annual return. Others remain engaged as income shifts, payroll expands, and business decisions carry tax implications.
At Accolade Accounting, we stay involved throughout the year. Estimates are recalculated when income changes. Structural questions are addressed as they arise. Returns are prepared based on the business’s operating conditions at that time. Contact us today to schedule a consultation.
Our work begins with understanding how your business currently reports income and calculates tax obligations. We review recent filings, entity structure, and estimated payment history to establish a baseline.
From there, our involvement continues throughout the year. As revenue changes, payroll expands, or structural decisions arise, we revisit the tax implications before those changes carry forward.
We do not limit communication to the filing season. When questions arise, they are addressed as they come up. Estimates are adjusted when income shifts. Structural decisions are evaluated with compliance and long-term impact in mind.
