Services

1. Small Business Accounting and Payroll

As a small business owner, you have more important things to do than to keep your own books. We take care of your books, sales tax, and payroll for you, so you can get back to the job of running your business and generating profits. 

When you hire us to handle the monthly accounting for your business, you will have access to your financial statements throughout the year to evaluate your performance.  Our staff will go above and beyond to help you with whatever you need.  Customer service is number one here.

We offer computerized payroll services, including direct deposit, online access to paystubs, automated payroll tax return filings and automated payroll tax payments. We handle garnishments and payroll tax notices for you.

We can file and pay your sales tax returns for you. 

We can prepare annual budgets for you as well as budget vs actual reports.  We can prepare specialized reports if/when needed.

 

2. Tax Services

We provide tax services for small businesses, individuals, and small trusts. With the complexity of the tax system, we hope to simplify it for you, help you to stay in compliance, reduce your tax liability and save time by allowing us to assist you with your taxes.  

Berel CPA, PLLC provides tax planning, tax projection and tax preparation services year-round.  

  • Tax planning includes analysis of proper entity classification, taking advantage of available deductions and credits, and advising clients on how to structure deals to minimize taxes.
  • Tax projections include calculating taxes based on estimated income and deductions.
  • We offer tax preparation for individuals, limited liability companies, corporations, S-Corporations, partnerships, small estates, and small trusts.

 

New business Formation

We will advise on the best entity selection for your new business as well as file the paperwork with the state and obtain your tax ID number. You will need these items to open a bank account for your new business.  Some banks also ask for operating agreements which we do not prepare.  Check with your bank.

We offer specialized accounting services on a case-by-case basis.  Here are a few examples:
