Bookkeeping

New York State sales tax
- Sales tax in New York City is 8.875% on most taxable sales
- Quarterly filers file by the 20th after each quarter: December 20 (December 21 in 2026, because the 20th is a Sunday), March 20, June 20 and September 20
- Annual filers file by March 20
- Late or missed filings bring penalties and interest, even if you had no sales — a zero return is still due
Business tax returns
Sole proprietors (Schedule C), LLCs, partnerships (1065), S corporations (1120-S) and C corporations (1120). Partnerships and S corporations are due March 15; personal returns and C corporations April 15. We also help with estimated taxes and year-end planning so you are not surprised.

Questions
Do I need bookkeeping if I'm small?
If you have a business bank account, sales tax, or employees, yes. Clean books lower your tax prep cost and help you prove income for loans and leases.
I missed some sales tax filings. Can you help?
Yes. We help you prepare and file the missing returns and explain any penalties and interest. The sooner you file, the less it grows.
Can you set up payroll for my first employee?
Yes. We help you set up payroll, withholding and the filings, and explain what you owe as an employer.
Do you work with my accounting software?
We work with common tools, or we can keep your books for you. Bring what you use now.
Is there a contract?
No long-term contract. Your monthly service and price are explained and agreed with you before we begin.
