About Accrulyn

What does Accrulyn do?

Accrulyn provides monthly bookkeeping and accounting, business and individual tax preparation, tax planning (including cost segregation and R&D credits), IRS tax resolution, fractional CFO support, and business formation and compliance for small businesses across the US.

Is Accrulyn a CPA firm?

Accrulyn is an accounting and tax services company led and supervised by CPAs. We do not provide audit, review or other assurance services.

Where are you located, and do you work with businesses in my state?

Our office is in Torrance, California. We work remotely with clients across the United States, so you do not need to be near us to work with us.

What kinds of businesses do you work with?

Mostly owner-led small businesses, from startups to established companies, organized as LLCs, S corporations, partnerships or C corporations. We also prepare individual returns for business owners. See our services and the industries listed in our menu.

Getting Started

How do I get started?

Book a free consultation or send us the form on any page. We reply within one business day, learn about your business and what you need, and then send a proposal and engagement letter before any work begins.

Is the consultation really free?

Yes. The first consultation is free and there is no obligation to work with us.

What happens after I sign up?

We set up access to your accounting software and bank feeds, collect documents through our secure client portal, clean up past records if needed, and then move you onto a regular monthly or filing schedule.

Who will work on my account?

You work with a consistent team, and our work is supervised by CPAs. You will know who to contact with questions.

Pricing

How much do your services cost?

Most of our work is quoted as a flat monthly fee or a fixed fee per return, based on the size and complexity of your business. You can see starting prices on our Pricing page, and we confirm your price in writing before we start.

Do you charge by the hour?

Our standard services are quoted as flat fees agreed in advance, so you are not surprised by an hourly bill.

Is there a long-term contract? Can I cancel?

There is no long-term lock-in. You can cancel anytime under the terms of your engagement agreement, which sets out the notice period and how any work in progress is handled.

Bookkeeping

Which accounting software do you work with?

We work in QuickBooks Online, Xero and NetSuite, and connect with tools such as Gusto, ADP, BILL, Stripe, Shopify and Amazon.

My books are months behind. Can you help?

Yes. We regularly catch up and clean up books that have fallen behind, then keep them current every month. Read what a bookkeeping cleanup involves.

What reports will I receive?

Monthly bookkeeping clients receive a profit and loss statement and balance sheet each month, plus a year-end package for tax preparation. Higher plans add more reporting.

Taxes

Which tax returns do you prepare?

We prepare S corporation (1120-S), partnership (1065) and C corporation (1120) returns, individual returns (1040), and state returns, including multi-state filings.

Do you help with tax planning?

Yes. We help with quarterly estimates, entity and S corporation planning, cost segregation studies and the R&D tax credit.

I received an IRS notice or owe back taxes. Can you help?

Yes. We review IRS notices, respond on your behalf with a power of attorney, and help with payment plans, penalty relief and other options. See IRS tax resolution.

Security and Documents

How should I send documents?

Please upload documents through our secure client portal rather than email. Do not send Social Security numbers, bank logins or tax documents through the website form.

How do I log in to the client portal?

Use the Client Login link at the top of the website, or go to portal.accrulyn.com.
