Frequently Asked Questions
We recommend accounting services, including business tax preparation and filing, tax advisory, and quarterly estimated tax support, to ensure compliance with deadlines and tax laws. We also recommend full-service bookkeeping, which includes industry-specific expertise from a dedicated bookkeeper. While not every startup launches with employees, we recommend payroll if your business has them.
Startups need professional accounting and bookkeeping services to save time and money and gain the peace of mind to focus on growth. Financial professionals stay up to date on the latest tax law changes affecting startups at the state and industry levels and can make immediate, cost-saving recommendations.

If you don't have the time or training to properly record your financial data in your books or accurately prepare and file your taxes, it is a risk to address those responsibilities yourself. Improper recordkeeping undermines your ability to make critical, data-driven business decisions and can affect many areas of your startup. If you miscalculate your taxes or miss a deadline, you may receive penalties or increased IRS scrutiny.
These services represent a cost-effective alternative to hiring an in-house accountant or bookkeeper. Rather than investing time and money in a full-time employee, startup founders can engage a CPA firm to handle financial and administrative functions for a fraction of the cost.
An outsourced virtual accounting firm produces reports that help startups better understand their profitability, cash flow, and financial trajectory. Often, business owners turn to these firms for help understanding their finances at a high level for tax planning, forecasting, and advice. These insights are based on financial information compiled by a startup's bookkeeper.
Most, if not all, of your initial costs will be eligible for deduction as business expenses. This includes the cost of setting up your business entity and filing with state and federal authorities. Any fees associated with starting your business before operation are included here. This includes equipment, hiring costs, and the accounting and bookkeeping software you purchase for your accounting system.

1-800Accountant uses industry-standard 128-bit SSL encryption to protect your data. As an added safeguard, our team remains vigilant against emerging security threats to ensure your information remains secure.
