Accounting Services

Accurate financial statements are the key to making educated decisions to guide and grow your business. SCA’s accounting professionals can handle your regular accounting needs, including payroll processing, reconciling bank and credit card statements, and issuing financial statements. However, we don’t stop there. We’ll take the time to help you understand what your financial statements mean. Then, SCA’s professionals will assist you with decision making and strategic planning for your business.

Tax Planning and Return Preparation

Sloan, Cartagena & Associates’ CPAs and tax professionals continually work to understand the complexities of the tax code and always ensure that our clients are receiving the very best and most accurate tax preparation possible. We do not want our clients to pay any more tax than is absolutely necessary. 

We also understand that much more goes into expert tax service than simply an accurate tax return. We work with our tax clients year-round. Consider these additional areas of expertise:

Tax Planning – by making tax planning part of your overall strategy, you can use our experience to access the most current new developments in the tax laws to minimize and plan your tax liabilities.

IRS Representation – we are seeing the IRS exert increased audit and collection efforts. Our 30 years of experience in working with the IRS will assure you that you are well represented.

Payroll

Let Sloan, Cartagena & Associates manage all of your payroll needs so you can focus on running your business. Processing payroll is much more than just distributing paychecks. There are taxes, deductions, changes in payroll laws, and year-end documentation like W2s and 1099s.

SCA will address all of your needs, including check processing and printing, direct deposit, W-2 processing, filing up-to-date quarterly and annual payroll taxes, and reporting.

Bookkeeping Services

Sloan Cartagena & Associates staff are experts at the daily bookkeeping duties that can burden a small business. Let our staff handle paying your bills, managing sales deposits, reconciling bank statements and credit card statements, payroll processing and payroll tax filing, financial statement preparation, and individual and business tax planning and preparation.

Allowing the SCA bookkeeping experts to handle your bookkeeping frees you as a business owner up to focus on what you do best – running your business. Or, if you have an employee that is responsible for your bookkeeping, you can reduce your costs by eliminating that position or freeing the employee up to work on profit driving work. With your trusted advisors handling everything, your stress is eliminated.
