Hey Future Clients! My name is Avery Beasley, and I’m a Certified Public Accountant (CPA) with over six years of experience helping small and medium-sized businesses stay compliant, reduce stress, and make smarter financial decisions. I provide end-to-end accounting and tax services, meaning you don’t have to juggle multiple professionals to understand your numbers. Accounting & Bookkeeping Services I take ownership of your day-to-day accounting so you can focus on running your business. This includes: Recording, categorizing, reconciling, and adjusting transactions Cleaning up messy or incomplete books from prior years Preparing periodic financial statements (P&L, Balance Sheet, Cash Flow) More importantly, I don’t just deliver reports—I explain what they mean. I provide insights from a managerial perspective so you understand how your business is performing and from a tax planning perspective so there are no surprises at tax time. Tax Preparation & Tax Strategy I’ve prepared 3,000+ tax returns for individuals and business entities and have helped clients: Remain fully compliant while legally minimizing taxes Prepare and file back tax returns for multiple years Amend prior-year returns, recapturing tens of thousands of dollars Understand when amending returns is beneficial—or required Because I handle both accounting and tax, I’m able to identify opportunities others often miss. Why Clients Work With Me CPA-level expertise (not just data entry) Clear communication and practical explanations Proactive guidance—not just compliance A single point of contact for accounting and tax If you need help with accounting, bookkeeping, tax preparation, cleanup work, or tax planning, I’d be happy to help. Feel free to reach out—let’s get your finances back on track.
