Tax · Mid-size businesses

Tax strategy built for companies that outgrew their first CPA.

Once revenue crosses state lines and ownership gets more complicated, a once-a-year return isn't enough. We plan throughout the year, file in every state where you have nexus, and keep owners informed before decisions are made.

What we handle

Year-round planning, not a scramble in March

We work with owner-led and family companies, professional services firms, government contractors and real estate groups. Our job is to bring the tax consequences of each decision forward: hiring in a new state, buying equipment, taking distributions, admitting a partner or selling the company.

The 2025 federal tax law changes reshaped depreciation, R&D expensing and pass-through deductions. We model how they affect your entity and your owners together, not one return at a time.

Questions

Frequently asked

If your question isn't here, call (703) 880-8412 and you'll reach a person.

Do you work with businesses outside Virginia, DC and New York?

Yes. We serve clients nationwide and regularly file in dozens of states for a single client. Our Texas and California pages describe how we support companies there.

Can you take over from our current CPA mid-year?

Yes. We request prior returns and workpapers, review open elections and deadlines, and set up a projection so the transition doesn't put filings at risk.

Is a pass-through entity tax election right for us?

It depends on the state, the owners' residency and the entity type. We model the election before the state deadline and show the after-tax result for each owner.

Do you also handle bookkeeping and payroll?

We support accounting and payroll tax compliance for clients who want one firm to manage the full picture, and we work alongside in-house finance teams too.
