Business Tax Preparation That Pays for Itself
Tax compliance isn't where your business should be losing money. Yet every year, thousands of small business owners overpay in taxes — not because the tax code is unfavorable, but because their returns are prepared by someone who doesn't understand the nuances of pass-through entity taxation, depreciation strategy, or entity-level elections.
At Schemmel CPA PLLC, business tax preparation isn't an assembly line. I bring 15+ years of public accounting experience and a Master's in Accountancy to every return, ensuring that your filing is accurate, compliant, and strategically optimized to minimize your tax liability within the bounds of the law.

Pricing

Included in Annual Engagement
All three fixed-fee tiers ($400/mo, $810/mo, $1,110/mo) include annual business tax preparation.
The Annual Engagement Advantage
Business tax preparation is most efficient — and most valuable — when it's part of a year-round relationship. When I work with you throughout the year (through quarterly tax consulting, bookkeeping, or advisory services), your tax return practically prepares itself. Your financials are already clean, your estimates are already filed, and your strategy is already in motion.
That's why every fixed-fee annual engagement tier includes business tax preparation. The result? A faster turnaround, lower effective cost, and better tax outcomes than a one-off filing can deliver.
