What types of businesses does Del Real Tax work with?
Del Real Tax primarily works with small and midsize businesses that need ongoing accounting, bookkeeping, payroll, tax preparation, and proactive tax planning. We serve companies across industries including retail, grocery, restaurants, healthcare, manufacturing, automotive, and professional services. Our services are tailored to each business’s structure, operations, and financial goals.
How is proactive tax planning different from tax preparation?
Tax preparation reports what already happened during the year, while proactive tax planning helps identify opportunities before key deadlines pass. We review your business throughout the year rather than waiting until tax season. This approach can reduce surprises and support better financial decisions.
What is included in your monthly accounting programs?
Our fixed-fee monthly programs may include bookkeeping, payroll, financial reporting, sales tax support, business tax preparation, and ongoing tax planning. The exact services depend on your company’s size, complexity, and accounting needs. We create a coordinated plan so your financial and tax services work together.
Can Del Real Tax help if my business books are behind or inaccurate?
Yes. We can review your existing records, reconcile accounts, correct errors, and bring your bookkeeping up to date. Once the records are organized, we can establish a reliable monthly accounting process. This gives you a clearer picture of your company’s financial position.
Does Del Real Tax prepare individual tax returns?
Del Real Tax primarily focuses on small and midsize businesses. Individual returns may be prepared when they are connected to an ongoing business accounting or tax-planning relationship. We are not positioned as a high-volume personal tax-return service.
