Acumen Accounting Inc We specialize in small business accounting and taxation. That means we're experts in everything from QuickBooks setup and training to day to day bookkeeping to monthly and yearly financial statement generation.

Since everything anyone in business does eventually finds its way onto a tax return, we look at everything from a tax impact standpoint. Keeping our clients aware of the latest tax law changes and informing them of the tax implications of their business decisions is a big part of what we do.

Then, we plan and prepare business tax returns accurately, professionally, and with the mindset that every number on the return could need to be defended some day.

For individuals, we offer tax planning and preparation services using the same high quality standards that we use for businesses.

And for everyone, should there be problems with a tax agency that needs resolution, we'll provide the best representation possible.

Services
Accounting and CFO Services
Report
We do as much or as little as a client requires, including day to day data entry, cash management, bank reconciliation, and financial statement generation.

This is much more than simply entering data into software and spitting out financials. We take the time to make sure that the financials make sense: Where is the business doing well? Where does it need to focus? Are the statements in a format that are coherent and explainable? What are the trends? And on and on and on.
Tax Planning and Tax Return Preparation
Report
We like to work with our clients year-round so that we know them thoroughly. That enables us to prepare the highest quality tax returns with no ugly surprises. If you know what to expect throughout the year, then the tax return won't hit you out of the blue.
Business Analysis, Financing Presentations and Budgeting
Report
We specialize in tearing businesses down to their fundamentals. How does the company compare to similar companies in the same industry? Where can we improve?

We also speak fluent "banker". That means we can help you build a winning presentation for obtaining financing. Even in tough economic times, good ideas get funded, and we'll do our part to help you get there.

Need a budget? We'll create one for you and then track it to see how you are performing against that budget.
Taxpayer Representation
Report
We represent taxpayers before tax agencies. Tax notices are not always correct, and audits don't need to cause heart attacks.

We can help.
