Accounting & Tax Services for Professional Service Businesses

If you run a professional service business — whether you're a consultant, a marketing agency, a medical practice, an engineering firm, an insurance agency, or any other service-based operation — your biggest asset is your expertise. But the financial side of running a service business brings its own set of questions that deserve real answers, not generic advice. At Steele Martin Jones, we work with professional service business owners across West Tennessee who are building something meaningful and need a financial partner who can keep up.

Financial Challenges We Help You Solve

We understand the unique financial hurdles facing professional service businesses. Here's what we help our clients navigate:

Entity Selection and Structure

Choosing the right business structure (LLC, S-Corp, C-Corp, Sole Proprietorship) based on income, growth plans, partners, and tax situation to avoid unnecessary taxes.

Estimated Taxes and Cash Flow

Accurately calculating quarterly estimated tax payments and integrating them into cash flow plans to avoid surprises.

The Qualified Business Income Deduction (QBI)

Ensuring structure and income levels allow for maximum utilization of the QBI deduction (up to 20% of qualified business income).

Retirement Planning

Exploring advanced retirement options like SEP IRAs, Solo 401(k)s, and defined benefit plans to shelter significant income and build long-term wealth.
