Tax preparation and planning, under one roof
Most small businesses treat taxes as a once-a-year fire drill: hand a shoebox to a preparer in March and hope for the best. That is how owners overpay. CPA CloudBooks does it differently. We prepare and file your returns and plan proactively throughout the year, so decisions about entity type, owner pay, equipment, and retirement are made before they cost you money, not after.
Because we can also keep your books, your return starts from clean, reconciled numbers. That means fewer errors, a lower preparation cost, and no last-minute surprises. We serve small businesses and their owners across Washington, California, Texas and the Pacific Northwest, entirely online.

Business tax returns
Federal and state returns for S-corps, LLCs, partnerships, and C-corps. Accurate, on time, and e-filed.
Personal (1040) returns
Owner and individual returns coordinated with your business so the whole picture is optimized, not siloed.
Tax planning
Year-round strategy: S-corp elections, reasonable compensation, retirement contributions, timing, and deductions you are missing. Read S-corp vs LLC for service and software businesses.
Washington B&O and state filings
Washington Business and Occupation tax, city taxes, and other state filings handled for you. See Washington B&O tax explained.

Quarterly estimates and nexus
We calculate and remind you of estimated payments, and track multi-state nexus so you stay compliant as you expand.
Why year-round planning beats once-a-year filing
By the time you are filing in April, last year is closed. Almost every meaningful tax-saving move had to happen before December 31. Choosing or electing the right entity, setting reasonable owner compensation for an S-corp, timing equipment purchases, funding the right retirement plan, and documenting deductions all have to be planned in advance. A preparer who only sees you at filing time cannot do any of that. As your bookkeeper and your tax team, we see your numbers every month and act while it still counts. Growing fast? Our fractional CFO services add forecasting and strategy on top.

Tax services FAQ
Do you file both business and personal taxes?
Yes. We prepare business returns (S-corp, LLC, partnership, C-corp) and the owner's personal 1040, and we coordinate the two so your overall tax picture is optimized rather than handled in separate silos.
Would an S-corp election save me money?
Often, yes. Once your business is consistently profitable, an S-corp election can reduce self-employment tax. But it adds payroll and filing requirements, so it is not right for everyone. We run the numbers for your situation in a free consultation.
Do you handle Washington B&O tax?
Yes. Washington has no income tax but taxes gross receipts through the Business and Occupation (B&O) tax, plus city business taxes. We calculate, plan for, and file these so you are never caught off guard.
I sell in multiple states. Can you help with nexus?
Yes. As you sign out-of-state clients or customers, you can create tax obligations elsewhere. We track your multi-state nexus and keep your filings compliant as you grow.
Can you do my taxes if you do not do my bookkeeping?
Absolutely. Many clients start with tax only. That said, combining bookkeeping and tax usually means a cleaner, faster, lower-cost return, and better year-round planning.
