Save you time and Headache
Traditional accountants often struggle with applying their processes to your E-Commerce business. Unfortunately for you (and your local Columbia, SC accountant), the harsh reality is that “one size DOES NOT fit all. Traditional bookkeeping, accounting, and tax planning often do not apply to your business, and therefore will result in you as the entrepreneur educating your accountant on your business. Shouldn’t this be the other way around? Partnering with a financial professional that understands your business entirely will save you a lot of time and headache.
Optimize Your Income Tax Structure
Many accountants in Columbia, SC are trained in Tax Compliance, but not necessarily Tax Strategy. Income Tax Compliance (contrary to popular belief) is not very complex with modern-day technology. Millions of Columbia, SC business owners use online software like TaxAct or TurboTax to file tax returns themselves. Instead of hiring an accountant to help you to keep compliant, consider expanding your budget to work with a professional that will assist you in being more strategic with your tax structure. Most of our clients have a direct cash return-on-investment through working with our tax planning team. We encourage you as a business owner to seek a professional that can help you to do the same.
Keeping Compliant the New Sales Tax Rules
The South Dakota vs Wayfair ruling in 2018 made it legal for states to collect sales tax from eCommerce businesses. With more people shopping and selling online than ever before due to the pandemic, we’re experiencing a surge of ‘Wayfair’ tax revenue, making states even more determined to collect sales tax from eCommerce sales. This will ultimately lead to more audits, enforcement, and possible litigation over the next year. Oftentimes we find that the local “Joe Schmoe CPA” is not equipped to assist you in staying Sales Tax compliant across several states. Consider hiring an eCommerce Accountant in Columbia, SC to assist you in mitigating your risk and staying compliant.
