At C&M Bookkeeping, we work very hard for our clients providing weekly, monthly, quarterly and annual accounting support aimed at payroll, transactional, and record keeping organization for small businesses. This includes the necessary reports – the company\u2019s Balance Sheet<\/a> and Income Statement<\/a> – used in income tax reporting preparations for the business portion of tax returns based on the information provided to us for accounting and record keeping purposes.<\/span><\/p>\n

We post the transactions to the company accounting file that we are direct to record. We use these disclosed financial transactions to generate both of these reports. Company owners are responsible for accurately reporting all income and expenses used for the company tax preparation and accept all responsbilities for providing accurate and complete information for the reporting requirements.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We\u00a0are not<\/em> tax preparers and do not<\/em> provide tax advice nor tax return preparation services. We suggest to our clients and prospective clients to always consult a professional tax advisor – such as a state registered<\/em> Attorney or Certified Public Accountant<\/strong> or an Internal Revenue Service certified Enrolled Agent<\/strong><\/a> – for both your business and personal tax planning, compliances and tax return concerns.<\/span><\/p>\n
