How the Future of Accounting Works
How do I work with GP CPA?
Everything starts with communication! We love texting, although we still use email more often. Clients and future clients are always able to text us and get a reply during normal business hours. Same with emails, we generally respond within 24 hours of any emails received.
Expect to get texts from us that convey simple, FYI-style information, whereas emails will contain attachments and more details. As much as possible, we keep our communications to you as low volume as necessary so we don’t become a nag or bother. We have heard that ignoring your accountant leads to negative financial consequences! We also occasionally record & send videos for our clients to answer complex questions or answer “how do I….” inquiries…
What is tax planning/projection and how does it work?
Payroll Services
We have been through a lot of payroll software during our 30 years in business. The top two payroll companies in the US are absolutely atrocious when it comes to small businesses’ payrolls. Every. Single. Time. Therefore, we have come to rely on Gusto for all of our client’s payroll needs. Not only does our firm use Gusto for our internal payroll, but our clients generally have positive experiences with Gusto as well…
Individual “Indie” Income Taxes
Are you a business owner? If yes, then we will also prepare your indie tax return. If you are not a business owner, then our firm is not a good fit for your tax preparation needs. What makes our tax preparation process different from other firms is that we generally know what to expect for our client’s tax returns before we prepare and file them. See “Tax Planning FAQ” for additional bedtime reading. Our clients do not typically require an extension, so we complete most indie tax returns between Feb 15th and March 15th of each year. We take spring break as a firm during the first week or so of April, so we don’t work with last-minute clients or those who procrastinate until the bitter end. “I wish I would have extended” is not a phrase that is often uttered and it is not what the vast majority of clients prefer…
Working with IRS Transcripts
Believe it or not, the IRS generally follows good record keeping practices. We know they certainly hold a grudge longer than they should, but that is where we can help. For clients that are extending their tax returns, we require them to provide us with IRS transcripts that include third-party income reporting, statements of accounts, and to verify any estimated tax payments that were claimed. For clients that file timely there is generally less of a risk for missing information or that something unexpected will arise…
Business Taxes
We work primarily with S-corporations and partnerships, as those are the most common form of business structures and offer the most flexibility for tax reduction strategies. We finish all of our business tax returns in February of each year because we are also the bookkeepers for most of our business clients. We can file business tax returns in all states, but are most familiar with NC/SC and PA because that is where the bulk of our clients come from…
Sales Taxes
We love sales taxes, but not in a weird way. However your business needs to work with/under/through sales taxes, GP CPA can take the sting and labor out of sales taxes…

From our blog
Starting a Business in North Carolina or South Carolina?
Starting a business is exciting—it’s also a little like setting out on a road trip without a map (or GPS) if you’re not prepared. You might end up in a great place by sheer luck, but chances are, you’ll hit a few dead ends or take longer than necessary to get where you want to go. That’s where we, the CPAs and business advisors, come in handy.
