We Manage Your Business Taxes
Sales, Occupancy, Beverage, Tobacco Taxes and More
For most people, taxes are a once-a-year challenge. Individual taxpayers have to pull together all of their records each April – a W2, maybe a 1040 and a couple of other documents. It can be annoying, but with tax preparation software and a simple employment situation, most people can file their own personal taxes in an hour or two.
Business taxes are a whole different story.
If you own a business, you understand that you need to pay more than a couple of simple taxes once a year. You probably need to file taxes quarterly. You also probably have a wide range of taxes that are due. You might need to pay sales tax, occupancy tax, tobacco tax, beverage tax, and more. Depending on the kind of business that you are running, you could have a half-dozen different types of taxes that you need to pay. You’ll also need to prepare tax documentation for any employees you may have so that they’re able to file their own taxes as well.
Behind Every Accountant is A Good Bookkeeper
Keeping on top of all those taxes is, in many ways, your accountant’s job. They’ll help determine which taxes you owe, and calculate the best way to minimize your tax bill while still paying everything that you are legally required to. Sometimes it even takes a little digging into your books, something called forensic bookkeeping to keep everything in line. However talented your accountant is, they can’t do their job without all of your records being well organized. That’s where you can count on Rivas Stanton & Associates to help.
Our freelance bookkeeping professionals make sure all of your personal bookkeeping records are clear. We’ll manage all of the documents of purchase and sale and any other relevant financial transactions, so when your accountant is ready to file taxes, they will have all of the data that they need to work from.
Minimize Penalties by Staying on Time
That’s not the only way that we can help. It’s not only important that you pay the correct amount on your taxes, but it’s also important that you pay those taxes on time. Since you are a business owner, you do not only need to pay every April 15th – you’ll need to pay multiple times throughout the year. It can be easy to miss a deadline, especially when you’re worrying about a dozen other things to deal with your business.
We can schedule all of those payments for you so that you don’t need to worry about the possibility of missing a deadline. Give us a call today, and we can help you get your tax situation under control.
