Small Business Tax Preparation and Planning with Hogan CPA
We’re always following changes to the tax code so we can help you implement the best strategies to save you money in your small business and personal taxes.
We keep you compliant
As the business owner, you are required to keep your accounting up-to-date and provide your financials if there is ever an audit. We perform all necessary financial management to keep you ready if situation ever arises.
We also can identify transactions that could be red flags and help you eliminate those so you are not at risk.
Proactive Tax Strategies to small businesses
We work daily with single member owner-operated businesses and small business entities. There are many strategies you can use both on the business and personal side to save yourself money. Whether you and your spouse both work in the business, if you work out of your home or have an office, if you have company vehicles or drive your personal cars, we can help you understand the benefits and tax savings that can be had under the current tax laws.
Small Business entities and Estimated Taxes
Most small businesses start as a single member LLC and as they grow, changes should be made at revenue milestones or when a certain number of employees are hired. As a business owner, the simple change of going from an LLC to an S Corp and putting yourself on payroll can save tens of thousands in taxes. This does come with the added complexity of payroll, but outsourcing payroll is a minimal cost for the massive potential savings in entity selection.

Frequently Asked Questions
How can you help my small business with its taxes?
As small business CPA, we can help with a range of tax-related issues, including preparing and filing tax returns, identifying tax deductions and credits, and representing the business in audits or other tax-related matters.
How much will your services cost?
The cost of our small business CPA’s services will depend on the complexity of your business’s tax situation, state of your Quickbooks account and the amount of work involved.
For bookkeeping, we charge an hourly rate.
For tax preparation, certain documents we charge a flat fee to prepare while others are more involved and data has to be extracted from the bookkeeping. Again, it depends on the status of your accounts.
Can you help with payroll and employee benefits?
We do not manage payroll in house but we’ve developed partnerships with other payroll companies who provide this service at an affordable rate.
We do consult with businesses about the employee benefits they provide and how they can be used to reduce taxable business income.
