Tax preparation and advisory

A CPA for business owners.


Tablerock Advisory prepares business and owner tax returns and helps owners understand what their numbers are telling them. A small practice with a limited roster, where you work directly with the CPA doing the work.

What I do

Three things, done properly.

Business tax preparation

The business return and the owner return prepared together, estimated payments calculated from the actual result, and a conversation about what was filed and what to pay next.

Starting at $1,350

Tax projections

A look at the likely result before the year closes, so the number in April is not the first time you hear it. One projection, one meeting, a written action list.

Starting at $950

Financial assessment

A fixed-fee review of what is driving cash, profit, and margin in the business, ending with a scorecard and a 90-day priority list. Offered outside filing season.

Three weeks, fixed fee

If the books are behind, that gets handled first. Financial cleanup is a separate project with its own quote.

Who this is for

Business owners who want a CPA who picks up.

This is probably a fit if

  • You own the business and run it day to day
  • It is an S corporation, sole proprietorship, or single-member LLC
  • Your bookkeeping is current and in a system I can get into
  • You want the business and owner returns handled together
  • You are leaving your current CPA over service, not price

Worth a conversation first

  • Partnerships, C corporations, trusts, estates, or several states
  • Multiple entities, or unresolved basis questions
  • Books that are well behind and need rebuilding first
  • You are looking for the cheapest return you can find

Some of this I take on and some of it I refer out to people who do it every day. Either way you get a straight answer on the call, not after you have paid for one.

The roster is small on purpose. That is the trade: fewer clients, and the person preparing your return is the person you talk to.

Let's talk about your situation.

Twenty minutes on the phone. A few questions when you book so the call starts with the useful part, and a straight answer about whether this is a fit.
