Full-Service Tax Support Tailored To Your Needs
We offer a comprehensive range of tax services tailored to meet the needs of individuals, businesses, and corporations. Whether you’re looking for help with routine filings or strategic planning, our team is equipped to handle it all.
Our tax duties include:
At Doherty & Associates, we offer expert tax preparation services tailored to individuals, families, and businesses. Our team works year-round to ensure all returns are accurate, compliant with current tax codes, and optimized for deductions and credits. By thoroughly analyzing each client’s financial documents, we’re able to identify potential savings and ensure every return is filed properly the first time. Our process reduces the risk of audits or costly amendments later.
What sets us apart is our real-time approach—meaning we don’t just start working once tax season hits. Instead, we gather, analyze, and prepare throughout the year so our clients aren’t overwhelmed in the final weeks of filing deadlines.
Tax planning is a proactive service we offer to help clients reduce their future tax liabilities. Whether you’re a small business owner or an individual with investment income, our advisors create tailored strategies based on projected income, spending habits, and anticipated life changes. We work closely with clients throughout the year—not just in April—to ensure the right moves are being made to legally minimize taxes.
This ongoing support includes evaluating withholdings, maximizing deductions, timing purchases or charitable contributions, and leveraging tax-advantaged accounts. Our forward-looking planning can save clients significant money over time, especially when paired with our in-depth understanding.
Businesses that operate across multiple states face complex sales and use tax obligations—and we’re equipped to manage them. We provide compliance assistance, registration, and guidance on how to properly collect and remit taxes based on jurisdiction-specific rules. Our knowledge ensures that clients don’t unknowingly underpay or overpay, helping to avoid future audits or penalties.
We also assist with filing monthly, quarterly, or annual returns depending on the business’s size and industry. From e-commerce businesses shipping nationwide to local retailers with multiple locations, we help ensure sales tax is handled accurately and efficiently, saving time and avoiding costly missteps.
Some states impose a gross receipts tax, which is calculated based on a business’s total revenue rather than its profits. We assist businesses in these jurisdictions by calculating gross receipts accurately and ensuring proper reporting. We also help clients understand how this tax interacts with other obligations, such as sales tax or income tax, to avoid overpayment.
Our team supports businesses in restructuring operations or accounting methods to mitigate gross receipts tax liabilities. With our expertise, clients can plan better for cash flow and understand how tax policy impacts their bottom line—especially for high-revenue, low-margin industries that may be disproportionately affected by gross receipts taxation.
Franchise taxes—charged by many states simply for the privilege of doing business—can be a confusing area for business owners. We help clients navigate these fees, which are often based on company size, income, or stock structure. We ensure proper classification, prepare and file franchise tax reports, and help avoid penalties for late or incorrect submissions.
In addition to routine filing, we provide strategic advice to reduce franchise tax exposure. This may involve restructuring the business entity or revisiting how assets and revenue are allocated across jurisdictions. Our thorough understanding of state-specific rules helps clients remain compliant while minimizing costs.
Self-employed individuals, investors, and small business owners often need to pay quarterly estimated taxes to avoid underpayment penalties. We assist in calculating these payments based on income trends, deductions, and any changes in financial situations. Our process helps clients stay ahead of IRS deadlines and maintain predictable financial planning throughout the year.
We don’t just provide numbers—we also educate clients on how estimated tax payments fit into the bigger financial picture. Whether it’s advising on retirement contributions to offset liability or adjusting for unexpected income spikes, we ensure estimated taxes are handled with accuracy and intention.
Navigating corporate and business taxes is more than just filing forms—it’s about making strategic decisions that impact growth and sustainability. We work with LLCs, corporations, partnerships, and sole proprietors to structure operations in a tax-efficient manner. We help clients understand deductions, depreciation, pass-through taxation, and multi-state compliance issues.
Our advisory services go beyond compliance. We work with businesses on mergers, acquisitions, and expansions, ensuring tax considerations are built into the strategy from day one. With our guidance, business owners can reduce liabilities and position themselves for long-term success.
We handle all aspects of income tax return preparation and e-filing. Whether you’re an individual or a business, we gather all necessary documents, prepare the forms accurately, and file them electronically with both federal and state authorities. This streamlined process means faster acknowledgments, faster refunds, and fewer errors compared to paper filings.
Our secure e-filing service includes proper data encryption and compliance with IRS protocols. Clients receive confirmation when returns are accepted and can rest easy knowing their information is handled with professionalism and confidentiality.
Staying organized year-round makes tax season easier, and we help clients set up personal filing systems to do just that. We offer customized solutions for storing receipts, tracking expenses, and documenting income sources. This proactive approach ensures all deductions and credits are supported by clear, accessible records when it’s time to file.
Our team helps clients digitize their systems for convenience, while also educating them on which documents to keep and for how long. With this structure in place, clients avoid last-minute scrambles and are better prepared for audits, major financial changes, or tax planning sessions in the future.

Expert Business Tax Preparation And Planning
Does your business take advantage of every IRS deduction? Do you frequently find it difficult to file your federal taxes by the end of the year? More significantly, has your business been required to pay penalties for filing taxes after the deadline? Considering how narrow some businesses’ profit margins are, paying a penalty for filing federal or state taxes after the deadline wastes money. Regretfully, the majority of startups and small businesses lack the skills and expertise necessary to effectively utilize all of their tax deductions. Expert business tax advisors are required, and Doherty & Associates offers the best business tax preparation and tax planning services.

Corporate Tax Solutions
At Doherty & Associates, our business tax services go beyond corporate tax preparation. We do more than simply make sure your company’s taxes are filed on time. It’s not just about properly adhering to the federal tax filing and state tax filing deadlines. It’s about providing your company with a thorough tax strategy.
We specialize in corporate and business tax preparation and offer small and medium-sized businesses (SMEs) premium financial management services. Our staff of Certified Public Accountants (CPAs), finance specialists, and business specialists serve as both tax consultants and accounting experts, guaranteeing that our clients have dedicated tax consultants who work around the clock to make sure their company has a tested tax strategy. So, what are some of the ways our corporate tax services can help?
The expenses of depreciating assets must always be taken into consideration in a corporate tax or business tax plan. These assets could be tangible assets such as computers, printers, mobile phones, buildings, tools, machinery, and other equipment used by your business. By appropriately depreciating your company’s asset costs over time, our business tax services lower your overall corporate tax burden.
Our tax consultants will draw on their knowledge of comparable business models. They will inventory the physical assets of your business, account for all depreciation, and make sure you are informed well in advance of any future deductions.
Our business tax strategy will guarantee that all of your company’s expenses are accurately categorized, combined, and tracked by month and quarter. It is a crucial business tax solution for SMEs that lack the internal structure or resources for appropriate expense tracking. These costs will then be used as leverage for additional tax deductions.
Our tax consultants will make sure your corporate tax plan has a strategy to leverage all of your company’s expenses, whether that means utilizing IRS tax deductions for marketing and advertising, legal, vehicles, travel, meals, employee wages, or other potential deductions.
Your company’s financials will adhere to generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) when working with our tax consultants, they’ll check each quarter’s financials are accurate and reflect the performance of your business. In addition to ensuring compliance, we also stay current on state and federal tax filing regulations, guidelines, and deductions. Making sure your company is always ahead of the curve and utilizing new tax laws and deductions is the aim.
Why Is Business Tax Prep Important?
A comprehensive tax preparation plan and strategy are crucial for a number of reasons, including the high demand for our business tax services. First and foremost, a tax preparation plan is crucial because it guarantees that your taxes are submitted on time and spares your company from penalties for incomplete or late filings. Up to 5% of the taxable amount owed may be included in late federal tax returns (IRS), with the total cost rising by 1% for each extra month. Penalties for late state tax filing are not included in this.
By handling your company’s taxes, we, as your tax consultants, help you free up time and resources. Our services take full responsibility for your company’s tax returns and give you an easy-to-follow corporate tax strategy and plan. This lets you concentrate on other things while lowering your expenses.
The ultimate goal of a thorough tax preparation plan is to assist you in making wiser choices. You’ll have weekly, monthly, and quarterly solutions that will help you identify areas where spending needs to be better managed and which deductions need to be maximized.
The overall strategic plan of your business relies on a comprehensive tax preparation plan. Your business tax plan will help you better understand your spending, take advantage of R&D tax credits, and find cost-cutting and money-saving measures that you can implement across your entire organization.
Ultimately, our staff becomes the liaison between your business and both federal and state tax authorities if you entrust your tax preparation to our tax consultants. We answer any queries, guarantee tax filing compliance, offer clear financials, and make sure there is only one point of contact between the IRS and state tax authorities.
