THE STANDARD WE WORK TO

Compliance Isn't an Afterthought — It's the Foundation

Every ledger Smartledger runs is built to hold up under IRS scrutiny, not just to close cleanly each month. Six obligations get the same discipline whether you're a sole proprietor or a multi-entity group.

1.

Payroll Tax Filing (Form 941)

Quarterly federal payroll tax returns filed against a working calendar, not a deadline countdown.

2.

Sales Tax Filing & Reconciliation

Sales tax collected, filed and remitted correctly to every state where you have nexus, on that state's own schedule.

3.

US GAAP-Compliant Bookkeeping

Books maintained to US GAAP standards, ready for lenders, investors and auditors alike.

4.

Social Security & Medicare (FICA)

Employer and employee FICA contributions calculated at the current rate and remitted on schedule.

5.

1099 & W-2 Preparation

Contractor and employee filings prepared and issued ahead of the January deadline, every year.

6.

Federal & State Tax Returns

A CPA prepares and reviews every federal and state return before it goes out — a second set of eyes on every filing.

FAQ’S

The Answers You're Probably Looking For

The questions that matter most when choosing a finance partner — clearly answered.

Where does bookkeeping end and accounting begin?
 
Bookkeeping is the daily discipline of recording and reconciling transactions. Accounting turns that record into reports, filings and decisions. We run both under one roof, so nothing gets lost in the handoff.
 
Every filing is reconciled against source documents and checked by a second reviewer before filing, to the standard registered CPAs and accounting practices work to.
 
Yes. Backlog recovery is one of our most common engagements. We reconcile the missing periods, flag any gaps in past filings, and get you current before your next one is due.
 
Yes — our team operates across U.S. time zones, with every query answered within 24 hours as standard.
