The return is one day. We keep the other 364.
Books, payroll, sales tax, the plan and the return, kept in one practice and one file, so the numbers on the return are numbers we have read all year.

Once a year, or all year.
The same business, kept two ways.
| The work | Once a year | All year, with KFM |
|---|---|---|
| The books | Rebuilt in March from statements. | Reconciled as each month closes. |
| A hire, a lease, a truck | Signed first, booked later. | Priced in the plan before it is signed. |
| Quarterly estimates | Last year’s number, repeated. | Computed from this year’s books. |
| Payroll and sales tax | Someone else, or you. | Run and filed from the same books. |
| The return | A reconstruction, against a deadline. | Prepared from numbers read all year. |
| A letter from the IRS | Found in the mailbox. | Forward it. We answer. |

You hear the fee on the first call, before anything is agreed. Until we have seen the detail, it is often a range.
General information about how the practice runs, not advice on your situation. Florida does not tax individual income; the picture differs in states that do.
Where it earns its keep.
Six situations owners usually call about, and the part of the practice that answers each.



Growth, and no one running the numbers.
Revenue outgrew the bookkeeper. Financials land on a fixed day, the plan is revisited every quarter, and the larger decisions are taken from the numbers.

Profitable on paper, tight at the bank.
Profit and cash are different questions. Receivables, payables and owner draws are watched month by month, and a forecast says when the gap opens.
Answered by Accounting & CFO
A first hire, lease or truck.
Each one carries a tax and a cash consequence, and each is cheaper to model before it is signed than to book after.
Answered by Advisory
Several entities, one owner.
The operating company, the property, the holding company: one calendar, one close, intercompany balances kept clean.

A US company, owned from abroad.
Formation, the EIN, the state registrations and the reporting foreign ownership brings, kept here in your time zone from the first year.

The return comes last.
With the books closed every month and the plan already set, the return is prepared from numbers that have been read all year.
