Accounting & CPA Services for
Grand Rapids
Small Businesses.

It depends on your business stage and size. Most small businesses benefit from at least monthly bookkeeping and business tax preparation. As you grow, adding tax planning and payroll can save you significant time and money. The best way to know is a free consultation — we'll tell you exactly what you need, even if it turns out to be less than you thought.

At 4K Accounting, monthly service packages start at $425/month for small businesses (bookkeeping + monthly reports), with full-service packages including tax planning from $625/month. Individual tax preparation and most other services are quoted based on your specific situation — scope and complexity vary too much for a flat price to be meaningful. Visit our Pricing page for package details, or book a free call and we'll give you an honest quote for exactly what you need.

A bookkeeper records your daily financial transactions — income, expenses, reconciliation. A CPA (Certified Public Accountant) does all of that AND can prepare and file your taxes, represent you before the IRS, provide strategic tax planning, and advise on major financial decisions. Working with a CPA like Mindy means you get both the day-to-day recordkeeping and the high-level strategy in one place.

Absolutely. We use TaxDome as our secure client portal for document sharing and communication, and Acuity Scheduling for easy meeting booking. Many of our clients prefer to handle everything digitally — upload documents, review reports, and meet via video call. In-person meetings are also available for those who prefer it.

The honest answer: earlier than most people think. If you're spending more than a few hours per month on your books, or if tax season causes you stress, you've already passed the point where a CPA pays for itself. The right time is when keeping up with your finances is taking you away from the work you're actually good at.
