U.S. Business Accounting & Tax

Bookkeeping, business tax returns, payroll and sales tax support for local businesses. Serving businesses across the United States, Dow & Sohn CPAs helps business owners organize their records and plan their next steps in English or Korean.

Who We Help

We help local restaurant, retail and service-business owners who need to catch up on bookkeeping, change accountants, or understand why sales and cash flow do not tell the same story as profit.

Our Services

Monthly Bookkeeping & Closing

We reconcile bank and credit-card accounts with POS and sales-platform settlements, separate revenue and expenses from loans and owner transactions, and prepare financial information to help you understand your business.

Business Tax Returns & Year-End Planning

We prepare business tax returns based on your entity structure and accounting records, including corporations, S corporations, partnerships and sole proprietorships. Year-end planning considers projected results, estimated taxes, asset purchases and owner compensation.

Payroll & Sales Tax Support

We review payroll information, including owner compensation, tips and service charges, and define responsibilities with your existing payroll provider. We organize sales tax reporting information by sales channel and location; processing and filing responsibilities are agreed during consultation.

Catch-Up Bookkeeping & QuickBooks Transition

We review existing QuickBooks records, bank and credit-card statements and recent returns to identify missing, duplicate and unreconciled transactions. When changing accountants, we coordinate access to records and the handover date.

Getting Started

1. Tell us your industry, entity structure and current needs.
2. We review recent tax returns, books and account statements to propose scope, timing and fees.
3. After the handover, we establish a schedule for records, monthly closing and filings.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1. Do you work with local businesses without a Korean parent company?

Yes. We work with local businesses and Korean-speaking business owners across the United States, as well as cross-border companies.

Q2. What do I need to change accountants?

Please prepare recent business tax returns, QuickBooks or other accounting records, bank and credit-card statements, and payroll and sales tax filings. We first clarify work completed by your current accountant and the handover schedule.

Q3. Can you help if my bookkeeping is behind?

Yes. We review the periods involved, account count, transaction volume and available records before proposing a cleanup scope and timeline.

Q4. Can bookkeeping, tax and payroll support be coordinated?

We can review these needs together. We identify your systems and current providers, then agree which tasks we handle and which are coordinated with outside providers.

Q5. How are fees determined?

Fees depend on the number of entities, transaction volume, employee count, sales channels, record condition and filing needs. We distinguish ongoing services from separate cleanup work in our proposal.
