Amanda L. Carman, CPA provides quality accounting support to a variety of clients, ranging from individuals to large corporations. Specializing in assisting closely-held businesses, startups, corporations and individuals, we serve our clients with a comprehensive offering of services.

Tax Planning, Consulting and Compliance Services

We understand the issues facing individuals and small businesses, and we recognize that tax planning is critical for your success. We work closely with you to make tax planning part of your individual and business strategy and not just something to be put together at year-end. This proactive approach and our commitment to continuing education ensures that we minimize your tax liability today and in the future by staying current on new developments in tax laws.

Preparing your own income tax return can be a daunting task that leaves you with more questions than answers. Today’s tax laws are so complicated that filing a fairly simple tax return can still be confusing. Tax software programs can provide a false sense of security as it’s easy to overlook deductions and credits to which you are entitled, and there’s simply no substitute for the assistance of an experienced and knowledgeable tax professional.

Bookkeeping and Advisory Services

Organized financial records are the foundation of a successful business, but the steps involved with basic bookkeeping can be overwhelming depending on the size of your business and the number of transactions. If you no longer feel like you have control of your books, or simply prefer to outsource this task, we will manage your business finances so you can concentrate on what you do best – running your business.

CPA on Demand

Business owners face a myriad of complex business challenges. By combining in-depth industry knowledge and extensive corporate experience, we offer a customized approach to problem solving based on your needs. Our CPA on Demand service is available and helpful in many circumstances including when:

• the expertise of a controller/CFO is required but the needs and budget do not support the hiring of a full-time employee
• desired monthly reports fall outside of the scope and/or ability of a regular bookkeeper
• business owners want to take a proactive approach to managing business year-round rather than simply reacting at the end of the year

If you have business issues that require assistance, ask about our CPA-On-Demand services.

Payroll Reporting

Generally, payroll is one of the largest expenses for a business and managing this area accurately is integral to the success of a business. Missing federal and state payroll deposit and filing requirements can be a costly mistake. We can assist with your payroll needs by helping your staff setup payroll, make timely deposits, and prepare the required quarterly and year-end reporting.

The risks associated with mismanaged payroll are vast and punitive. When done incorrectly, your small business can face penalties and interest that may cripple a small business. Our payroll services can ensure accuracy and provide you with peace of mind.
