The difference between a dream and a goal is writing down the vision and setting time lines for accomplishment. The backbone of making any decision is knowledge and direction. By having accurate and timely financial information, business owners are able to determine the state of their business and their charted course of direction.
My office offers financial statement services from simple bookkeeping tasks to full fledge audits and reviews of your business and financial records. By allowing my office to perform these tasks, it allows the business owner to have peace of mind knowing that their financial house is in order and allows you to do what you do best: operate your business.
For individuals and businesses, there is by no means a shortage of tax filing requirements. Below are some of the returns that must be filed at least on an annual basis:
Annual Business Tax Return 1120, 1120 S
Payroll Returns 941, 940
Independent Contractor 1099 reporting
State of Florida Sales Tax Return
State of Florida CorporateTax Return
State of Florida Intangible Tax Return
Pinellas County Tangible Tax Return
An effective system of internal controls (checks and balances) is an important part of running any organization. By establishing such controls, assets of the organization can be protected from theft, misappropriation, and safeguarded. My office conducts reviews of work assignments and responsibilities of your staff to determine whether there is a proper segregation of duties.
Perhaps your business has been in operation for quite a while, but you are not sure of which records you need to retain. We can sit down with you and discuss the latest requirements regarding record retention, board minutes, lease agreements, loans and other financial contracts.
One of the most complex and heavily penalized areas of a business is the area of payroll processing. If someone in your organization receives a check and meets the IRS definition of an employee, you as the employer are required to withhold, remit and match taxes from the employee's payroll check. It is very easy to misclassify employees as independent contractors. In the payroll area, the record keeping and filing requirements can be overwhelming, and if errors occur, they are costly to you and the employee. Our office offers guidance and assistance with payroll preparation. In addition, we can file quarterly payroll tax returns and process annual W-2 for your employees.
As with many areas of our lives, desires, dreams and visions expand and change. Perhaps you have never incorporated your business, or perhaps wish to set up another legal entity. My office offers incorporation services and will walk you through every phase from registering with the state of Florida, obtaining your Federal ID number, and setting up your corporate books.
Many problems in life do not go away by ignoring them. Often times challenges in our life help define us and allow us to mature and grow. Many of my clients have encountered problems with the IRS, but have not wanted to meet with them alone. By filing certain forms, our office can represent you or your business regarding IRS matters.
