Ashok P.

I help small business owners, startups, real estate investors, and e-commerce businesses get their finances in order — and keep them that way. With over 15 years of hands-on tax and accounting experience, I do more than maintain clean books. I work alongside business owners throughout the year to reduce tax liability, stay compliant, and make smarter financial decisions. Here's what I bring to every engagement: Bookkeeping & accounting software Monthly reconciliations, accurate transaction categorization, and financial reports — P&L, balance sheet, and cash flow — so you always know where your business stands. I work in QuickBooks, Xero, Wave, Puzzle, Digits, and AI Bookkeeping tools. Tax preparation & planning Federal and state tax returns prepared accurately and on time using Drake, ProConnect, ProSeries, Lacerte, and OLT Pro. More importantly, I look for deductions, credits, and planning moves before the year closes — not after. S-Corp & LLC compliance Reasonable compensation, distributions, basis tracking, and payroll coordination — I handle the details that keep S-Corp owners out of trouble with the IRS. Payroll coordination I work directly with Gusto and other payroll platforms to ensure entries are properly reflected in your books and payroll taxes are accounted for correctly every period. I've worked with LLCs, S-Corps, sole proprietors, real estate investors, and product-based e-commerce businesses. Whether you need someone to take over messy books, prepare a tax return, or build a year-round tax strategy from scratch — I can help.
