Our services include, but are not limited to:

"The future belongs to those who prepare for it today."

We understand how a tax burden adversely impacts your short-term cash flow and long-term financial objectives.

Bookkeeping Services

Tired of endless data entry? Wearing too many hats? Let us do the balancing for you.

David T. Cole, CPA can help you keep those troublesome books up-to-date. Letting a professional enter your banking and credit card transactions allows for accurate and current records all of the time. Plus, you have the added bonus of your CPA’s attention and expertise on a monthly or quarterly basis rather than once a year.

We offer substantial tax return preparation discounts for clients who utilize our monthly bookkeeping services. It is much more cost efficient and practical to contract your CPA to reconcile your financials accounts than hire a full-time bookkeeper.
