Common questions

New York accounting
— your questions answered.

Do you work with New York City businesses?

Yes. We support businesses throughout New York City — Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, The Bronx and Staten Island — as well as businesses across upstate New York.

Can you handle both NY State and federal filings?

Absolutely. We coordinate federal and New York State filings together, including IT-201 resident returns, IT-203 nonresident returns, and business tax filings such as CT-3 and IT-204 partnership returns.

Do you support NYC-specific taxes?

Yes. NYC has its own Business Corporation Tax (Form NYC-2) and Unincorporated Business Tax (UBT). We factor these into your overall filing picture.

What payroll tax obligations do New York employers have?

NY employers must file NYS-45 quarterly combined returns covering withholding, unemployment insurance and re-employment service fund contributions. We handle the preparation and recordkeeping for these.

Can you help with NY sales tax registration?

Yes. We assist with Certificate of Authority registration with the NY Department of Taxation and Finance, plus ongoing ST-100 or ST-101 quarterly filing preparation.

Do you work with self-employed and freelance New Yorkers?

Yes. We help freelancers and self-employed professionals organize 1099 income, track deductible expenses and prepare accurate estimated tax payments.

How quickly can I get started?

Most New York clients can book an initial consultation within a few business days and get a clear next-steps plan before their next filing deadline.
