Common questions
Why do I need a CPA instead of doing my own taxes?
You can file your own taxes using software. But once your situation involves a business, rental properties, investments, or multi-state income, the tax code gets complicated fast. A licensed CPA understands which deductions and credits apply to your specific situation, how to structure your income and entities for tax efficiency, and how to keep you in compliance with federal and state requirements. The cost of a missed deduction or an incorrectly filed return often exceeds the cost of professional preparation.
How do I know if I need a CPA for my small business?
If you have employees, multiple revenue streams, inventory, accounts receivable, or you're not confident your financials are accurate, a CPA brings structure and compliance expertise that pays for itself. If you're spending more time on bookkeeping and tax worries than running your business, that's a clear signal. And even well-run businesses often discover missed deductions or more tax-efficient structures during an initial CPA review.
Do you work with QuickBooks?
Yes. Laura has taught QuickBooks for Boise Schools Community Education and has trained business owners across the Treasure Valley for over two decades. She does one-on-one training, group sessions, initial setup, chart of accounts configuration, and cleanup of misclassified entries. New to QuickBooks or cleaning up a file that got away from you, she handles both.
What do financial statements actually tell me?
They're the financial scorecard of your business. Your profit and loss statement (P&L) shows revenue minus expenses over a period, telling you whether the business is operating profitably. Your balance sheet shows total assets versus total liabilities, revealing your net worth and financial position at a point in time. Your cash flow statement shows where money actually moved. Together, they let you compare periods, identify trends, measure margins, and make informed decisions about pricing, spending, hiring, and growth.
