Tax and Accounting Services for Decatur Businesses
Tax planning, bookkeeping, and accounting for Decatur businesses. Year-round planning, monthly financials, and Alabama compliance handled by a CPA firm.
What We Do
We provide tax and accounting services for businesses in Decatur and across the Tennessee Valley. Tax preparation, year-round tax planning, monthly bookkeeping, payroll, and the Alabama compliance filings that local businesses have to stay on top of. The work you need handled by a CPA firm without hiring someone full-time.
Our approach starts with planning rather than just filing. Most business owners have a preparer and maybe a bookkeeper, but nobody looking ahead at tax decisions before the year closes. We cover all four roles a business needs: the preparer, the advisor, the bookkeeper, and the controller. Everything priced up front, no hourly billing.
Tax Planning
Tax Planning
Year-round tax planning with regular check-ins, quarterly projections, and mid-year decisions made while they can still affect the outcome. Tax savings depend on your situation, but planning clients routinely find opportunities their previous preparer never mentioned.
Business Tax Preparation
Business Tax Preparation
Returns for S corporations, partnerships, C corporations, and sole proprietors. Your return gets prepared from books we’ve maintained all year, and we walk through the filed return with you so you understand what was reported.
Bookkeeping
Bookkeeping
Monthly bookkeeping that stays current. Transactions categorized, accounts reconciled, financial statements delivered. Your books are ready for tax planning all year, not reconstructed at the deadline.
Alabama Compliance
Alabama Compliance
Business personal property tax returns, business license renewals, sales tax filings, 1099s, and payroll tax. The Alabama-specific obligations that pile up through the year, tracked and filed on schedule.
Decatur Businesses We Work With
Decatur has real economic depth for a city its size. Manufacturing operations along the river. Construction and trades working across Morgan County and into the valley. Healthcare practices serving north Alabama. Restaurants and shops downtown and along the corridors. Different books, same need for accurate records and someone watching the tax picture.
We work with businesses doing roughly $100K to $5M in revenue. Big enough to need a real financial foundation. Not so big that a full-time accounting department makes sense. If you’ve outgrown the shoebox of receipts but aren’t ready to hire staff, that’s the gap we fill.
Construction and Trades
Construction and Trades
General contractors and builders, HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and specialty trades working across the Tennessee Valley. Job costing, equipment expensing, subcontractor documentation, and books that hold up when you need bonding or financing.
Healthcare Practices
Healthcare Practices
Physicians, dentists, chiropractors, and therapists with practices in Decatur or serving the region. Entity structure, owner compensation, retirement plan design, and the planning that turns high income into lower tax liability.
Restaurants and Bars
Restaurants and Bars
Food and beverage businesses where thin margins make the numbers matter. Daily sales reconciliation, tip reporting, FICA tip credit calculations, and inventory tracking that shows whether you’re actually making money.
Professional Services
Professional Services
Consultants, agencies, attorneys, and service firms. S corporation election decisions made with real arithmetic, quarterly estimates that track your actual year, and retirement plans designed around variable income.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you have an office in Decatur?
No. We're based in Pelham, south of Birmingham. We work remotely with all our clients, which keeps things simple for both sides. You get the same quality without driving across the valley for meetings.
What does monthly bookkeeping cost?
Starting at $200 per month. Your actual price depends on transaction volume and complexity. We quote a fixed monthly rate after reviewing your books so there are no surprises.
Can you handle Alabama business filings?
Yes. Business personal property tax, business license renewals, sales tax, 1099s, and payroll filings. We handle all the Alabama-specific compliance that Decatur businesses deal with.
My books are behind. Can you help?
Yes. That's how many clients come to us. We do catch-up work to get you current, then move into monthly service so it stays that way.
How does communication work?
