Our Services

Bookkeeping

A consulting practice on the side, AI or ML advisory work billed hourly, a company you incorporated with friends, an arrangement paid partly in equity. Small businesses attached to a full-time job get neglected until the year they suddenly matter. We keep them clean, and we coordinate them with the rest of your tax picture.

Common Questions

I have a W-2 job and a small consulting business. Does that complicate my taxes?

It changes them more than most people expect. Self-employment tax applies to the consulting income, your W-2 withholding no longer covers your full liability, and deductions available to the business are not available to the employee. The two sides need to be planned together, not filed separately.

Which accounting software do you work with?

Primarily QuickBooks Online, and also Xero, FreshBooks, and Wave. If you are switching platforms or starting from a shoebox of receipts, we handle the migration and cleanup.

Can you coordinate my estimated payments with my equity vesting?

Yes, and this is the main reason our bookkeeping and equity work sit together. Business income and a large vest in the same quarter can produce an underpayment penalty even when the year-end numbers look fine. We plan the quarters as one picture.

Do you handle payroll?

Yes, from the Consulting Practice tier upward — calculations, filings, direct deposits, and year-end W-2 and 1099 preparation.

I do AI consulting on the side. Is that different from any other consulting income?

For bookkeeping purposes, no — it is self-employment income and it is tracked the same way. Two things do come up more often in this work than in most: being paid in equity or tokens rather than cash, which creates income at the value on the day you receive it, and significant compute costs, which are deductible but need to be substantiated and separated from personal use. If you are building and selling a product rather than billing for your time, that is a different picture and our product and business income service covers it.
