Our Services

GCole Tax Prep offers a variety of services to meet the needs of every individual, small business, and not-for-profit.

Bookkeeping

If your business doesn’t have an accountant on staff, bookkeeping can be an exercise in frustration. Let me make your job easier with my bookkeeping service. I will manage your chart of accounts and keep a set of books that accurately reflects the financial state of your business.

Financial Statements

Financial statements are useful tools for decision making and for representing the state of your business’ finances to outside parties. I can work with your staff to produce accurate monthly or annual financial statements that reflect the financial health of your business.

Notary Public

For your convenience, I have a notary public available to witness and authenticate the execution of documents and signatures.

Tax Preparation and Planning

With tax laws changing every year, it can be a challenge to keep on top of the particular changes that affect you and your business. I can use my expertise to prepare your individual and business tax returns and advise you on ways to minimize your tax liability.
