Tax planning and accounting for Chelsea businesses. Year-round planning, monthly bookkeeping, payroll, and compliance filings at fixed prices.
Tax and Accounting for Chelsea Businesses
We are a Pelham-based CPA firm that provides tax and accounting services for Chelsea businesses. Tax preparation and year-round tax planning, monthly bookkeeping, payroll, and the compliance filings Alabama businesses actually face. The work gets done at fixed prices, agreed before we start, so you always know what you are paying.
Chelsea has grown fast over the past decade. A lot of business owners here started out handling their own books and taxes, and at some point realized the DIY approach was not keeping up. That is usually when we hear from them.
Monthly Bookkeeping
Monthly Bookkeeping
Monthly bookkeeping that keeps your records current and accurate. Transactions categorized, accounts reconciled, financial statements delivered. Your books stay closed every month without you spending weekends catching up.
Tax Planning
Tax Planning
Year-round tax planning with regular check-ins, quarterly projections, and mid-year planning sessions. Elections and timing decisions get made while they can still help, not discovered at the deadline when it is too late.
Business Tax Preparation
Business Tax Preparation
Tax returns for partnerships, S corporations, and sole proprietors, prepared by a CPA firm that plans all year. The return files what the planning already decided, and we walk you through what was filed.
Payroll and Compliance
Payroll and Compliance
Payroll processed on schedule with tax deposits and filings handled. Plus the Alabama compliance layer that trips people up: business personal property tax, business license renewals, and quarterly filings.
Chelsea Businesses We Work With
Chelsea’s growth means construction crews building subdivisions, medical and dental practices opening to serve the new residents, and professional services filling in behind them. Different businesses, same need for accurate books and someone thinking about taxes before year end. We provide tax planning and advisory services alongside the foundational accounting work.
Most of our Chelsea clients are doing between $300K and a few million in revenue. Big enough to need real financial support, not so big that you need a full-time accountant on staff. That is the gap we fill.
Contractors and Trades
Contractors and Trades
General contractors and builders working Chelsea’s new construction, plus the HVAC, plumbing, and electrical contractors serving the growing community. Job costing, equipment expensing, subcontractor documentation, and books that support bonding and lending when you need them.
Healthcare Practices
Healthcare Practices
Physicians, dentists, chiropractors, and therapists setting up practices in Chelsea. Entity structure, owner compensation planning, equipment expensing, and retirement plan design for healthcare professionals who are building something here.
Professional Services
Professional Services
Consultants, insurance agents, IT professionals, and other service businesses. We handle the S corporation question with real arithmetic, set up quarterly estimates that track your actual income, and keep the books clean so tax season is straightforward.
Real Estate
Real Estate
Investors picking up properties in a growing market, realtors serving the subdivision buyers, and property managers handling the rentals. Depreciation strategy, entity structuring, and books organized by property so you can see what each one actually earns.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you work with businesses throughout Chelsea?
Yes. Our office is in Pelham, about fifteen minutes from most of Chelsea. We work with businesses across the city and surrounding areas like Westover and the Highway 280 corridor. Most of our work happens remotely, so your exact location does not change how we serve you.
What does monthly bookkeeping cost?
Starting at $200 per month. Your rate depends on transaction volume and complexity. We quote a fixed monthly price after reviewing your situation so you know exactly what you are paying.
Can we meet in person?
Yes. Our Pelham office is a short drive from Chelsea. Most clients prefer remote work because there is nothing to schedule and no commute, but we are happy to meet when it helps.
Do you handle Alabama-specific filings?
Yes. We handle Alabama business personal property tax returns, business license renewals, and other state and local compliance filings that Alabama businesses face. These get done on schedule without you tracking the deadlines.
My books are behind. Can you help?
Yes. We do catch-up work regularly. Whether you are a few months or a couple years behind, we clean up the backlog and get you current, then move into ongoing service so it stays that way.
