Accounting & Tax Services for Businesses

Tax Preparation

Most businesses do not start for the purpose of preparing and filing tax returns. Freyman CPA can prepare and file all of the business tax forms and returns that are required for your business so that you can continue to focus on your business’ success and growth.

By engaging Freyman CPA to prepare your business tax returns, you are ensuring that your company receives personalized service with streamlined processes that cut down on unnecessary administrative time. We utilize our broad tax knowledge of advantageous tax treatments, elections, and methods to provide your company with strategic tax compliance.

We can prepare federal, state, and local returns, including amended returns for every type of entity, including:

C-Corporations (Form 1120)
S-Corporations (Form 1120-S)
Partnerships (Form 1065)
Limited Liability Companies (Form 1065)
Sole proprietorships (Form 1040, Schedule C or Form 1040, Schedule E)
Not-for-profits (Form 990)

Specialized Forms

Modern businesses are frequently involved in specialized transactions, from interaction with foreign individuals and companies to research and development activities. Freyman CPA is a full-service firm, and we can help your business handle any specialized reporting that is required.

If your company has not taken advantage of some of the tax-saving opportunities that exist, we can help by assessing whether your company qualifies for certain deductions and credits. We will analyze your business and develop tax strategies to minimize taxes.

In addition to our standard business tax returns, we prepare specialized tax forms and returns, including:

Report of Foreign Bank and Financial Accounts, or FBAR (FinCEN Report 114, which replaced former Form TD F 90-22.1)
Report on miscellaneous income (Form 1099-MISC)

Sales and Use Tax

Given the increasing role that the internet plays in commerce, companies often find that they are shipping products all over the country. How do you determine whether you need to collect and remit sales tax in a given state? Freyman CPA can help you navigate the intricacies of sales and use tax. We can work with you through the entire process, assisting with:

Determination of nexus and sales tax collection and remittance responsibilities
Creation of compliance plan, including registration for sales tax and preparation of voluntary disclosure agreements
Monthly reporting

Payroll Services and Intuit Online Payroll

While there are many traditional and low-cost payroll providers, Freyman CPA provides unmatched service for your business. We work directly with you to implement tax savings. By analyzing your company’s benefits, we can develop strategies to minimize your company’s tax exposure.

Unlike a large payroll provider, we can ensure that you are not in the dark about the tax implications of your payroll decisions. We will advise you on offering fringe benefits, handling health care premium deductions, and reimbursing employees for allowed and disallowed expenses.

Our tax projections can utilize the payroll numbers that are based on our recommendations. This synergy allows for more accurate and effective tax planning. Rather than waiting until you receive a monthly or quarterly report from a traditional payroll provider, we can provide your company with immediate feedback with respect to payroll changes.

Do you have employees that work in your state and live in another? Do you have employees working in multiple states? We will determine nexus and registration requirements for your business. We will ensure compliance throughout the entire process, from registering your company with each required state, preparing and filing all necessary forms, and filing appropriate documents if your company is no longer required to file in a particular state.

We can handle the payroll for your company so that you can focus on building your business. In addition to the specialized payroll services that we provide, we also offer:

Support and management of Intuit Online Payroll, our professional accountant platform; it’s cloud-based and mobile-compatible; it’s also fully managed by us, allowing flexibility and personalized support for your business
Preparation and filing of payroll taxes, including multistate filings
Establishing a compliance plan, including monthly reporting
Assessment of deposit requirements (weekly, monthly, quarterly, or annually)

QuickBooks Online

If your company uses QuickBooks Online (QBO) or would like to transition to QBO, Freyman CPA can assist in setting up your business account and can even manage your books entirely. We value transparency, and we ensure that you always have access to your books. Your company’s books are your property, and we will never restrict access to them or charge you for reports run from QuickBooks.

We will work together with your company to ensure that your books are accurate and up-to-date. If you prefer to handle the day-to-day of the books internally, Freyman CPA can oversee the process and ensure that the books are in proper order.
