Who we help
Trucking & Logistics
Cost per mile is the whole business. Everything else is commentary.
01What makes this different
Where the money and the risk actually sit
Every sector has a handful of things that are easy to get wrong and expensive to correct later. These are the ones we look at first.
Cost per mile by truck
Fleet averages hide the truck that is losing money. Per-unit reporting is the fix.
Per diem & meal deductions
The per diem method usually beats actual expenses for drivers, but only with the right documentation.
Owner-operator structure
Sole proprietor versus S-corporation changes self-employment tax materially once net income passes a threshold.
Equipment & depreciation
Tractors, trailers and trade-ins each have their own treatment, and financing structure affects the deduction.
IFTA & fuel tax
Quarterly fuel tax reporting across states, reconciled to actual mileage and fuel purchases.
02What we do about it
How we help
Work that is done on a schedule, by people you can reach, with the filings made before the deadline rather than after the notice.
- Per-truck and per-lane profitability reporting
- Entity structure modelled against your actual net income
- Per diem tracking set up so the deduction survives review
- Depreciation schedules maintained through purchases and trade-ins
- IFTA quarterly filings prepared from reconciled records
03Services
What this usually involves
The services this sector asks for most. Nothing starts without a fixed fee agreed first.
-
Bookkeeping & Catch-Up
We rebuild the periods in order, reconcile them properly, and then move you onto a monthly rhythm so it never happens again.
-
Business Formation & Entity Selection
The structure you choose in week one decides what you pay in tax for years. We pick it with the numbers in front of us, then file everything that has to be filed.
-
Business Tax Returns & Compliance
K-1s flow straight through to the owners without a hand-off — which removes the single most common source of filing errors in business.
-
Individual & Family Tax Preparation
Every return is checked by a second reviewer, filed electronically, and tracked until the IRS and the FTB confirm acceptance.
