Bookkeeping for Downtown Phoenix Small Businesses

Bookkeeping and tax services for small businesses in Downtown Phoenix. Monthly books, tax prep, and IRS representation from an Enrolled Agent.

Bookkeeping for Downtown Phoenix

Downtown Phoenix has more businesses packed into a few square miles than anywhere else in the Valley. Restaurants along Roosevelt Row. Professional services in the high-rises. Retail shops, salons, and service businesses scattered throughout. Contractors working renovation projects on seemingly every block. Each one running on margins that don’t leave room for guesswork about the numbers.

We’re a Phoenix area enrolled agent firm that handles bookkeeping, tax preparation, and IRS representation for small businesses. Our office is in Queen Creek, but we work with businesses across metro Phoenix. Downtown clients get the same thing as everyone else: accurate books, answers when you call, and someone who actually knows your business.

Monthly Bookkeeping

Transactions categorized, accounts reconciled, books closed every month. Financial statements that show you where the business actually stands instead of a pile of receipts and bank statements you’ll deal with later.

Tax Preparation

Business and individual returns prepared by someone who already knows your books. No scrambling to gather documents in April. No handing your finances to a stranger who asks the same questions every year.

Bookkeeping Cleanup

Books months or years behind? We reconstruct the history, organize what’s there, and deliver records you can actually use. Most clients start exactly here.

IRS Representation

When the IRS sends a notice or opens an examination, you don’t handle it alone. As an Enrolled Agent, I represent you directly. You stay focused on your business while I deal with the agency.

Downtown Businesses We Work With

The downtown core has changed fast. Roosevelt Row went from empty storefronts to a destination. New apartment towers brought residents who need services. Sports venues and the convention center bring periodic crowds that spike revenue for nearby businesses. All of this means more opportunities and more complexity in how money flows through a business.

We work with established businesses and newer ones. The common thread is needing reliable bookkeeping without hiring someone full-time or paying the overhead rates that big downtown firms charge.

Restaurants and Bars

Downtown’s food and drink scene keeps growing. We track food cost, labor, tips, and daily sales. When your revenue swings based on whether there’s a game at Footprint Center or a convention in town, you need books that help you plan for the slow weeks too.

Professional Services

Consultants, agencies, attorneys, small firms. If you’re billing clients from a downtown office or coworking space, we handle the bookkeeping so you can focus on the work that actually generates revenue.

Retail and Creative Businesses

Shops, galleries, studios along Roosevelt Row and beyond. We track inventory, manage Arizona’s sales tax requirements, and keep records organized for tax season. The creative work is yours. The numbers are ours.

Contractors and Trades

Commercial construction, tenant improvements, renovation work. Downtown has no shortage of projects. We handle job costing so you know which projects actually made money and which ones just kept people busy.

Common Questions

You're based in Queen Creek. Why would a downtown Phoenix business work with you?

Bookkeeping and tax work happen digitally. Your bookkeeper's physical location matters less than their availability and competence. We're 45 minutes away if you want to meet, but most communication happens through calls, emails, and screen shares regardless of distance.

What does monthly bookkeeping cost?

Starting at $199 per month depending on transaction volume. We quote exact pricing after learning about your business and what you need.

Do you handle Arizona sales tax?

Yes. Arizona's transaction privilege tax system with different city rates is confusing. We track what you owe, file returns on time, and keep you compliant.

Can you help if I get an IRS notice?

Yes. As an Enrolled Agent, I'm licensed to represent you directly before the IRS. You don't sit through audit meetings or try to explain your books to an examiner. I handle that.

My books are a mess. Where do we start?

We start with cleanup. Most clients come to us behind on their books. We sort through the history, reconstruct what's missing, and get you current before moving to monthly service.
