Raza A.

Bookkeeper & Tax Preparer

Top Rated bookkeeping and tax professional with 700+ completed Upwork projects, $300K+ earned and 340+ client reviews. I help U.S. small businesses, real estate investors and foreign founders keep clean books, file on time and stop overpaying tax. Working with me also gives you the depth of Monily Finance and Accounting, a Houston-based QuickBooks ProAdvisor firm (since 2014) with a team of bookkeepers and a licensed CPA who reviews returns. You get one point of contact, with backup so deadlines never slip. WHAT I DO BEST • Monthly bookkeeping and reconciliation in QuickBooks Online/Desktop and Xero • Cleanup and catch-up: messy or years-behind books brought current and tax-ready • Business tax returns: 1120-S, 1065, 1120 and Schedule C, plus state returns and franchise tax • Foreign-owned U.S. LLCs and C-Corps: Form 5472, pro forma 1120, nonresident returns, catch-up filings • Sales tax: nexus review, registrations, and monthly or quarterly filings across multiple states • Payroll: setup, quarterly 941s, state unemployment, W-2s and 1099s, and corrections (941-X, W-2c) • Year-end tax planning: S-Corp salary, estimated taxes, entity structure INDUSTRIES Real estate and property management, e-commerce (Shopify, Amazon, Stripe), SaaS and venture-backed startups, professional services, construction and trades, and nonprofits (Form 990). HOW I WORK 1. A quick call to understand your books and deadlines 2. A clear, fixed quote for defined projects 3. Reconciled, documented work with a short monthly summary 4. Replies usually within one business day If your books are behind or a deadline is coming up, send me a message and tell me what's going on. I'll tell you exactly what it takes to fix it.
