  • Why Us?

    Before launching this practice, I spent years in Big 4 accounting before joining a venture-backed startup as their first finance hire — building financial infrastructure from scratch through near-Series B.


    I know you're thinking about your burn rate. I know what your investors are going to ask for. And I know that you need an accountant who's in your corner year-round, not just in April.


    That's what I built S.M. CPA & Accounting to be.

    FAQs

    Yes. We work with startups at all stages, including pre-revenue. Getting clean books in place early makes everything easier — fundraising, tax filing, and day-to-day financial visibility.

    Clients receive a report covering profit and loss, cash flow, and KPIs relevant to their business — things like monthly recurring revenue, gross margin, and burn rate for SaaS companies. See Pricing for more details. 

    For most businesses, yes. Your business tax return depends on accurate income, expenses, assets, liabilities, owner contributions, distributions, and other financial activity. Clean bookkeeping makes tax filing easier and helps avoid missing important information.

    Yes. We can definitely help with bookkeeping cleanup and catch-up bookkeeping. Cleanup pricing depends on how many months are behind and how much correction is needed.

    Yes. Tax-only services are available for individuals and businesses with complete and organized records. If your books need cleanup, catch-up, or correction before the tax return can be prepared, we can help with that work at an additional rate.

    We prepare key US personal and business tax forms, including Form 1040 for individuals, Form 1120-S for S corporations, Form 1120 for C corporations, and Form 1065 for partnerships and multi-member LLCs.


    We can also assist with additional forms when required, including Schedule C, Schedule E, Schedule D, K-1 reporting, 1099 filings, FBAR, Form 8938, Form 5471, Form 1116, and more.
