Cricwaves · Bookkeeping · Tax · Advisory

Your books, closed by the 5th. Every month.

We're a small firm that does one thing well — clean accrual books, timely filings, and the quarterly call where we actually look ahead. Most of our clients came from a referral; most stay for a decade.

Book a consultation See practice areas

Four practice areas. One accountant on every engagement.

We work the way good accountants used to — one client at a time, the same person every quarter, a phone number that rings through to a human. The technology is modern; the relationship is not.

Monthly bookkeeping

Accrual books closed by the 5th. Bank and credit-card recs, AR/AP, sales-tax, payroll journal entries. A clean P&L and balance sheet on the 6th, every month, with notes on anything unusual.

II.

Tax preparation

1040s, 1120s, 1120-S, 1065s, multi-state allocations, K-1s. Quarterly estimates calculated against year-to-date actuals — not last year, not a guess.

TAX

III.

Advisory

Quarterly call to look ahead. Entity structure, owner comp vs distribution, accountable plans, retirement contributions, R&D credit eligibility. The work that actually moves your tax bill.

ADV

IV.

IRS & state resolution

Notices answered the week they arrive. Audit response, installment agreements, penalty abatement. We write the letter, file the response, and tell you what to expect.

RES

How we work

Three steps. No mystery in any of them.

If we're a fit, you can be set up on our monthly cadence in about two weeks. If we're not, we'll tell you in the first call and point you at someone who is.

STEP / 01

Discovery call · 20 minutes

Free. We learn what you do, look at last year's return, and tell you whether we're the right fit. If we're not, we'll point you at someone who is.

STEP / 02

Onboarding · two weeks

Secure portal access, books migration, prior-year reconciliation, chart-of-accounts cleanup. By the end you have a clean opening balance and a quarterly cadence in writing.

STEP / 03

Monthly rhythm · ongoing

Books closed by the 5th. Reports in the portal by the 6th. Quarterly call on the calendar. Tax return filed the moment we have the K-1s. No surprises.

The firm

Small by choice. Modern in tools, traditional in habits.

We opened the practice to do one thing well — close clean monthly books, file accurate returns on time, and talk to owners about what's actually moving in the business. No package upsells, no offshore-team handoff, no surprise invoices.

If you've outgrown a single-product bookkeeper, are paying a national chain too much for a return you don't understand, or simply want the same person on the phone every quarter — we're worth a 20-minute call.

Have a question?

Twenty minutes on the phone usually resolves it.

The first call is free. We'll look at last year's return, ask about the current month, and tell you whether we're the right firm. If we're not, you'll leave with a list of better options.
