FAQs
Can I file an extension and still avoid penalties?
An extension gives you more time to file, but not more time to pay. Submit an estimated payment by the deadline to minimize interest and penalties.
When should I consider switching to an S-Corp?
When net profits are consistent and above certain thresholds, an S-Corp can reduce self-employment taxes. We analyze your numbers before any change.
Do you help with QuickBooks and reconciliations?
Yes. We provide cleanup, bank rules, monthly closes, and reports ready for taxes, loans, or investors.
