Entrepreneurs

Do you ever feel like your accountant just doesn’t “get” your vision? As an entrepreneur, you need more than tax filing—you need a partner who truly understands your goals and challenges. At Capstone CPA Group, we’re here to have real conversations about your business, offering tailored financial solutions that help you grow and succeed. Let’s build a relationship that goes beyond the numbers.

Starting and Growing Your Business

Start-Up Issues

If you are struggling with how you should structure your business, you are not alone. Most new businesses come to us and ask us about what type of business they should open. Here are some of the legal structures that might be available to you:

DBA or Doing Business As
LLC or Limited Liability Company
S Corporation
C Corporation
Partnership
There are also other advanced structures, that might also be available for your business

If you have questions about how to set up your business from a tax perspective we have the tools to help you make a great decision.

Starting A Franchise

When you are shopping for a franchise they make it sound so simple. You might hear things like, “We have the secret formula for success” or “We will support you and make sure your business succeeds”. But, the truth comes out, at the end of the day starting a franchise can be just as hard and sometimes harder than starting your own business. We have worked with other franchise owners in the past, and we can help you make the most of your new business venture. By avoiding some of the pitfalls other franchises have experienced, you can learn the risks without taking as many risks yourself.

Business Sales and Partnerships, New Owners

Are you looking to sell your business in the future? Are you looking to bring on a partner or new owner to further your company growth? Do you want to sell some assets, or part of your business? If you are looking to do any of these things in the near future (within the next five years). We can help you make sure you are walking away from the business sale with the most cash possible after taxes. Taxes are a fact of life, but we have the tools to make sure the government gets only their fair share not any more. So, if you would like to see if we can help you save money as you prepare for one of these taxable events, reach out to us and we can work with you to make sure you don’t get the short stack of cash.

Team and Workforce Management

Hiring Employees

Hiring your first employee is a huge task and there are a lot of questions associated with the hiring process. What is a competitive wage? Should we offer vacation time? What can I afford to pay this employee? These are very important questions that need to be answered before you hire your first employee. Entrepreneurs do a great job of offering intuitive solutions for their business. We are great at offering solutions such as payroll administration at a low cost. In fact, our full service payroll plans which include direct deposit for employees starting at $59.50 per payroll run for bi-weekly payroll. If you want more information about payroll, please reach out to us by phone or email.

Subcontractors

There are a lot of ways entrepreneurs can get in trouble. One of the easiest ways is to hire a subcontractor. I know the idea of hiring a subcontractor seems simple, but we know there are a couple of issues you should address before you get into an agreement with another business or individual.

It is easy for businesses to worry more about running the business and trying to make money than trying to stay out of trouble. That is why we worry about these things for you. If you want more information about subcontractors contact us.

Financial Tools and Management

Accounting Software

Never has it been easier for Entrepreneurs to run a business. But, making the wrong decision about the types of tools you should use makes simple decisions such as choosing the best accounting software that much harder. We work with the following types of accounting software:

QuickBooks online
QuickBooks desktop – there are three versions and we know them all, including QuickBooks Enterprise
Wave
Freshbooks

While we know these programs best, many of our clients also use other solutions such as using Excel documents to collect their accounting data. Even though we are good at accounting, we could never be mistaken for accounting snobs. So, reach out to us before you make the wrong decision for your small business accounting software.

Bookkeeping

Bookkeeping is an important part of your business. Most businesses see small business accounting as a necessary evil. We see small business accounting information as a valuable tool for you. Without accurate and timely bookkeeping you will be missing out tools that allow you to make more informed decisions about your business.

So, if you are only focusing on the accounting data that gets your business to a tax return, you are missing out on huge opportunities in your business.
