Catalyst CPA is a CPA-led firm that ties your bookkeeping, payroll, and taxes together, so you stop juggling three providers who never talk to each other.

Business Accountant Near Me - Frequently Asked Questions

What does a business accountant do for a small business?

A business accountant keeps the books reconciled, coordinates payroll and sales tax, prepares the business and owner tax returns, and advises on entity structure and cash flow. Catalyst CPA handles all of this as one CPA-led relationship.

When should a business owner hire an accountant?

Hire a business accountant when bookkeeping falls behind, when you form an LLC or elect S-corp status, when payroll starts, or when a tax bill or notice surprises you. Catching these early is cheaper than fixing them at tax time.

How much does a small business accountant cost?

It depends on transaction volume, payroll, entity type, and whether you need catch-up cleanup. Catalyst CPA reviews your situation and gives a clear monthly or per-service quote after a free consultation.

Can you fix bookkeeping that is months or years behind?

Yes. Catch-up and cleanup bookkeeping is a core service. Catalyst CPA reconciles back months or years of records and gets your accounts current and tax-ready.

Do you work with my QuickBooks and existing payroll?

Yes. We work in QuickBooks Online and coordinate with common payroll systems, so you keep your tools while gaining a CPA who ties the accounting and taxes together.
