A Small Business Accountant Who Knows Flagstaff.

We're a CPA firm physically located in Flagstaff, working with business owners across Northern Arizona — from Sedona to Prescott Valley. That means we plan around tourism-driven seasonality, a university town's rhythms, and small-town commerce, instead of applying national averages to a market we've never set foot in. Today we also serve specialized clients in every state — and the standard they come for is the one Flagstaff small businesses built.

Everything a Flagstaff small business needs, none of it generic.

Every service below has its own page with the full detail — here's how each one changes when the business is actually in Flagstaff.

Four corners of town, each running on something different.

Where a business sits in Flagstaff says almost as much about what its books need as its industry does.

Common questions · FAQ

Yes — almost any business selling goods or taxable services in Arizona needs a transaction privilege tax (TPT) license from the Arizona Department of Revenue, and Flagstaff businesses collect at the combined 9.18% city-plus-state rate. Depending on what you sell, a separate City of Flagstaff business license may also be required.

At $18.35/hour, Flagstaff’s minimum wage is the highest in Arizona — well above the $15.15 statewide rate a generic payroll budget might assume. We build labor cost projections off the actual Flagstaff rate, not a statewide average that leaves you short.

We set quarterly estimated payments and cash reserves off your actual seasonal curve, not a smooth 12-month average, so a strong July doesn’t get overpaid to the IRS and a quiet January isn’t a scramble. The same planning applies whether the swing is tourist season downtown or the academic calendar near NAU.

More than you’d think. A Route 66 shop near Heritage Square, a rental near NAU, and a truck stop off the I-17/I-40 interchange each have a different cash flow rhythm and cost structure — we build the plan around the one your business actually has, not a generic template.

Yes. Flagstaff is home base, but we work with owners throughout Northern Arizona, including Prescott Valley, Prescott, and Sedona — in person when it’s useful, remotely the rest of the time.

Yes — entity selection, TPT and city licensing registration, and getting your books set up correctly from the first transaction are exactly where a new business benefits most from a CPA, not just at tax time.

A national service applies the same playbook everywhere. We already know Flagstaff’s TPT rate, the university calendar’s effect on cash flow, and the minimum wage that applies to your payroll, so we’re not learning your market on your dime.
