Affordable Bookkeeping & Tax Help

We are LOCAL to southern Genesee County, Michigan, but we service remote clients across the country through our new CLIENT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM, powered by ATOM software. You can set appointments, upload documents, text us, email us–even pay your bills through this new system.

Starting with the 2025 Tax Return season (2026), we will be requiring the use of a tax organizer. We will be sending this to you prior to an in-person or Zoom meeting to help you gather all the necessary information for us to file an accurate tax return for you.

Bookkeeping and administrative tasks can drain your time and take you away from what actually earns you money. Let us take care of the numbers so you can get back to running your business.

Personal Tax Preparation

Business Accounting

Tax Preparation

Our fees are straightforward and affordable. Our starting fee for personal tax returns is $165, which covers wages, interest, dividends, Social Security, and retirement income. We charge per form for tax credits, business income, rental income, and other issues that complicate tax returns.

As for business entities (LLCs/Partnerships/Corporations/S Corporations), a lot more work is involved. All involve a balance sheet, reconciliation of book income to tax income, reconciliation of net worth from the previous year end to this one, and keeping track of each owner’s basis (their share of the net worth of the company). Some of my compatriots charge $2500 or more for such returns.

In 2026 our charge for multi-member LLC/partnership and corporation tax returns will be $700+$31 per owner for a fully prepared return. For very small companies, the fees will be $500 + $31 per owner (if they choose not to do Schedules L, M-1, and M-2).

Specialties. While we have some specialty areas, we work with all types of businesses in the service arena. Manufacturing companies are not a specialty of ours.

Rentals and Real Estate

We are considered to be real estate tax gurus. One of our clients have about 100 properties! We work with realtors as well as landlords. We’d be happy to help.

Truck Drivers

We started this business working with truckers. My brother is a trucker, a brother in law is a trucker, another is a retired trucker, and a deceased father in law was a trucker. I used to sell insurance to truckers! We’d love to assist you.

Small Business Owners

Nothing makes us happier than to see you succeed. In business success means getting the right kind of information at the right time. Paying the least amount in taxes means getting the right information at the right time and acting upon it. We are happy to provide you with tax planning tools that minimize your tax burden, and help you prepare for retirement.

Expatriots

An Expat is a US citizen who lives and works in a foreign country for practically the entire year. Many tax preparers have no clue how to help them. (We do!)

Homeowner Associations

Many homeowner associations are turning to accounting firms to take care of the financial business of the HOA. We enjoy working with them, and look forward to working with many more in the future.

Business Accounting & Tax Planning

Business Accounting (Tax Return Ready Bookkeeping)

Small business owners only have so much time. I know; I am one of them! You must spread your time between three major areas: sales and marketing; manufacturing and/or service; administration. Sales and marketing bring business through the door–that makes you money. Manufacturing or service–what you sell and collect money for–also makes you money. Administration–keeping the books–done well saves you money; done poorly costs you money (someone has to fix it); it never makes you money, and it steals time away from the activities that DO make you money.

Let us free you from time-stealing bookkeeping so you can do what makes you more money. We do it all for a lot of businesses. We can do it for you, too.

Or we can check your work and do periodic corrections, bank reconciliations…whatever you need. We can help.

Tax Planning

We can help you minimize your tax bill and maximize your planning for the future.

My Brother and I reached out to Dan at Affordable Accounting Assistance with our small business tax needs after a well known national firm incorrectly prepared our taxes during our first year in business. He helped walk us through proper preparation and filing. We highly recommend Dan for your business tax needs. He truly treats you like family!

We found a nightmare after losing our mom. She hadn’t filed taxes in a couple years. I thought I could do them myself but knew I was missing something. I absolutely could not believe how efficient and affordable Dan was. He saved us thousands of dollars. Stop searching for an accountant. We’ll never do our own taxes or go anywhere else. Thank you, Dan!

I'm an Owner Operator Truck Driver. Anyone who knows our business understands there are a multitude of tax deductions and other things we struggle with navigating every year. This year I was struggling to find an accountant who knew the struggles we go through, until I found Daniels business. Daniel is very professional, and also took great care with the current pandemic issue to meet all my expectations. I will definitely be back next year.
