Support through the year.

A plan before decisions. The right returns when it is time to file.

Year-round tax planning

Plan estimated taxes around settlement income, equipment decisions and the way your business is structured.

Tax preparation & filing

Prepare applicable business returns and coordinate owner-level tax filings based on your entity, activity and supporting tax documents.

03

Payroll & contractor tax reporting

Support payroll, payroll tax filings and applicable contractor tax reporting. The right treatment depends on the working relationship and relevant requirements.

04

IFTA reporting

Organize jurisdiction mileage and fuel purchases, reconcile supporting records and prepare applicable quarterly IFTA reports.

05

Registrations & renewals

Support for applicable business and motor-carrier registrations and renewals. We first review your operation and the filings it needs.

Fleet & equipment planning

Review purchases, leases, financing records and business use so trucks and trailers receive appropriate tax treatment.

BEFORE WE BEGIN

Your questions,
answered.

Can we start with a free consultation?

Yes. Tell us about your business, your current setup and what you need help with. We will outline a proposed scope and a personalized quote before you decide.

Are all of these costs tax-deductible?

Not automatically. We review the business purpose, supporting records and applicable rules. Personal costs, inventory, equipment and other capital costs can require different treatment.

Can you help with IFTA and registrations?

Yes. We can review your operation and help with applicable IFTA reporting and registration needs. For IFTA, we will ask for jurisdiction mileage and supporting fuel-purchase records.

Which documents should I prepare?

Start with settlement statements & factoring reports, fuel receipts & mileage by jurisdiction, truck, trailer & loan documents. Our intake questionnaire and follow-up questions help build a checklist for your situation.

Can you support us throughout the year?

Yes. We can discuss year-round tax planning, tax preparation and payroll support as part of a scope that fits your business. Timing, responsibilities and fees are agreed before work begins.

Your situation is one part of the picture.

Your industry shapes your business. Your income, family and plans shape the rest of your tax picture.
