Starting and operating a new business is scary, and you shouldn’t go at it alone.

I am here to help with all of your tax and legal matters to make sure nothing gets more complicated than it needs to be.

Accounting services including keeping your books, payroll, and financial statements.
Tax Return Preparation. Many small businesses have an accounting firm that does nothing more than prepare a return at the end of the year. I take a different approach to preparing your business taxes, reviewing your financial records throughout the year and keeping you advised of your profit so your taxes aren’t a surprise when I prepare your return March or April. I perform these services on a quarterly flat fee basis, so you can feel confident asking for my tax or financial advice throughout the year without worrying about being billed by the hour.
Custom Limited Liability Company operating agreement drafting anticipated tax consequences. LLC Operating Agreements. Having an LLC Operating Agreement keeps your business running smoothly by defining the rights and responsibilities of all members. When an LLC fails to have an Operating Agreement, or uses a “form” operating agreement not prepared by a qualified attorney, it can lead to lawsuits down the road. It can also leave you unprotected from your business liabilities.

If you are purchasing a business or merging into an existing business, I can help every step of the way, from negotiating and drafting the contract, to negotiating and drafting noncompete agreements, to due diligence, to closing. I can even assist in structuring the transaction in the most advantageous way in terms of both tax and non-tax concerns. I can also assist with bulk sales clearance to ensure that you aren’t hit with tax liabilities created by the seller years in the past.
