Tax and Accounting for Auburn Businesses
Planning-first tax and accounting for Auburn businesses. Tax preparation, year-round planning, bookkeeping, payroll, and CFO advisory at fixed prices.
What We Do
We provide tax planning, tax preparation, bookkeeping, and CFO advisory for businesses in Auburn and across Alabama. The difference is how it works. Rather than filing last year’s return and moving on, we plan throughout the year so the decisions that affect your taxes get made while they still can be.
Our office is in Pelham, about 90 minutes up I-85. We work remotely with most clients, which keeps things efficient. But we’re an Alabama firm handling Alabama compliance natively, including the business personal property tax returns and business license renewals that vary by jurisdiction. Tax and accounting services structured around planning rather than just filing.
Year-Round Tax Planning
Year-Round Tax Planning
Regular check-ins, quarterly projections, and mid-year planning sessions where timing decisions get made before the year closes. Most business owners have someone who files their return. Fewer have someone who plans ahead of it.
Business Tax Preparation
Business Tax Preparation
Returns for partnerships, S corporations, C corporations, and sole proprietors. Because we plan all year, the return reflects decisions already made rather than surprises discovered at the deadline. We walk through every filed return so you understand what was submitted.
Bookkeeping
Bookkeeping
Transactions categorized, accounts reconciled, and monthly financials delivered. Books maintained to a standard that supports tax planning all year rather than reconstructed in February when the CPA needs them.
Compliance Filings
Compliance Filings
1099s, W-2s, payroll tax returns, sales tax, Alabama business personal property tax, and business licenses. Deadlines tracked and filings completed on schedule so penalties never become part of the conversation.
Auburn Businesses We Work With
Auburn has grown steadily around the university, and that growth has created a business community with real complexity. Medical and dental practices serving the region. Contractors building everything from student housing to commercial space. Investors who own rental properties near campus or across Lee County. Restaurants and bars that serve 30,000 students plus residents and visitors. These are not simple businesses.
Most business owners we talk to have someone who files their tax return and maybe someone handling the books. What they don’t have is anyone watching the whole picture, planning ahead of the tax year, or analyzing the financials to surface issues before they get expensive. That’s the gap we fill.
Healthcare Practices
Healthcare Practices
Physicians, dentists, chiropractors, veterinarians, and mental health professionals. Auburn’s proximity to the university’s veterinary school means the area has practices of all kinds. We handle entity structure, owner compensation, retirement plan design, and the quarterly projections that keep estimated payments accurate.
Real Estate Investors
Real Estate Investors
Student housing near campus. Single-family rentals across Lee County. Investors building portfolios property by property. We handle the depreciation strategy and entity planning that real estate demands, with books maintained at the property level so you always know where you stand.
Contractors and Builders
Contractors and Builders
General contractors, trades, and builders working residential and commercial projects. We handle job costing, equipment expensing, subcontractor documentation, and the accounting method questions that construction businesses face. Alabama business licenses and personal property filings included.
Restaurants and Bars
Restaurants and Bars
A college town runs on places to eat and drink. We handle the FICA tip credit, tipped employee payroll, sales tax filings, and the daily-sales discipline that thin-margin businesses need. Build-out depreciation figured correctly from the start.
