Over 23 Years of Business Tax and Accounting Experience

My background includes more than two decades working with business owners to provide bookkeeping, accounting, tax preparation, sales tax, and payroll services—including payroll tax compliance.

Because I understand how all of these pieces connect, I don’t just clean up your books—I make sure everything is structured correctly from the start so your financials are accurate, your tax reporting is clean, and nothing creates problems down the line.

I recognize issues that impact tax filings, sales tax obligations, and
payroll requirements—such as S-Corporation shareholder payroll and other entity-specific compliance matters.

The result is a set of books that are clean, organized and fully aligned with how your business operates. You can feel confident in your numbers for tax preparation, reporting, and making daily business decisions.

I cannot recommend Paula Melton enough! She helped me with my 2025 taxes and saved me over $1,000. I was blown away. On top of that, I came to her just a week before the deadline in a panic, and she pulled through without missing a beat.
