Picking the Right Service for Your Situation

Most clients don't need every service — they need the right mix. New small business owners typically start with bookkeeping plus year-end tax preparation. Established businesses often add quarterly tax planning and payroll. Individual filers usually need tax preparation alone, sometimes with year-round tax planning for self-employment or investment income. The free 30-minute consultation exists to figure out exactly which combination fits your situation.

Accounting is the ongoing work — recording transactions, reconciling accounts, producing monthly financial statements so you can run your business with accurate numbers. Tax preparation is the once-a-year work of filing your federal return with the IRS and your Michigan return with the Michigan Department of Treasury, using the financials accounting produces. Good accounting makes tax preparation faster, cheaper, and more accurate; a CPA-led firm like 4K handles both, so the books and the return tell the same story.
