Tax and Accounting for Mobile Businesses
Tax and accounting for Mobile businesses. An Alabama CPA firm with year-round planning, bookkeeping, payroll, and Gulf Coast know-how.
An Alabama Firm Serving Mobile
We’re a CPA firm based in Pelham that works with businesses throughout Alabama, including Mobile and the Gulf Coast. Our model is built around year-round planning rather than once-a-year tax prep. That means regular check-ins, quarterly projections, and decisions made while they can still affect the outcome.
Mobile’s economy runs on the port, on industry, on the trades that support both, and on the restaurants and professionals that serve a city of nearly 200,000 people. We work with businesses across all of it. Tax planning and advisory services, bookkeeping, payroll, compliance filings, and the CFO-level guidance that most small businesses never had access to. All at fixed prices agreed before work begins.
Year-Round Tax Planning
Year-Round Tax Planning
Most business owners have a tax preparer. Few have someone planning ahead with them. We run quarterly projections, review estimated payments, and identify opportunities before the year closes. Savings vary by situation, but planning engagements routinely pay for themselves.
Tax Preparation
Tax Preparation
Business and individual returns prepared by CPAs who already know your numbers from planning all year. Returns for partnerships, S corporations, C corporations, and multi-state filers. We walk through every return after filing so you understand what was filed on your behalf.
Bookkeeping
Bookkeeping
Monthly bookkeeping that stays current. Transactions categorized, accounts reconciled, and financials ready when you need them. Books that support planning decisions all year, not records reconstructed at tax time.
Payroll and Compliance
Payroll and Compliance
Payroll processed on schedule with tax deposits filed. W-2s and 1099s handled at year end. Alabama business personal property tax returns and Mobile business license renewals tracked and completed. The compliance work that keeps you out of trouble.
Mobile's Business Economy
The Port of Mobile shapes the city. Shipbuilding at Austal, aerospace manufacturing, industrial logistics, and all the construction and service work that follows. Beyond the port, there are healthcare systems, professional firms downtown, and a restaurant scene along Dauphin Street that draws from the whole Gulf Coast. It adds up to an economy with real variety.
Most of these businesses have a tax preparer and maybe a bookkeeper, but nobody watching the whole picture. Nobody running the numbers on entity structure or retirement plan design or whether the current setup is actually optimal. That is the gap we fill.
Construction and Trades
Construction and Trades
General contractors, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, and the specialty trades working industrial and commercial projects around the port. We handle job costing, equipment expensing, subcontractor documentation, and the accounting method decisions that matter for contractors under current rules.
Healthcare Practices
Healthcare Practices
Medical practices, dental offices, mental health professionals, and the clinics serving Mobile and Baldwin counties. Entity and compensation structure, retirement plan design for high earners, and quarterly projections that keep estimated payments on track.
Restaurants and Bars
Restaurants and Bars
Downtown Mobile and Dauphin Street have a food and bar scene that punches above its weight. We track daily sales, handle tip reporting and the FICA tip credit math, file sales tax on schedule, and keep the books tight enough to know if margins are actually there.
Professional Services
Professional Services
Law firms, consultants, insurance agencies, and the professional offices downtown. S corporation structure and owner compensation done with real arithmetic, retirement plan options reviewed, and books that show what you are keeping after everything else.
