Common Questions

Professional Services Bookkeeping FAQ.

Yes. Professional Services is one of our focus areas, and we serve Ames and all of Story County 100% remotely — clean monthly financials and Iowa sales- and income-tax-ready records.
Iowa taxes a specific list of services at 6% (plus the local-option 1%), so whether you collect depends on what you sell — and your firm's income flows to the new flat 3.8% tax. We confirm which of your services are taxable and keep your revenue and withholding clean. We keep your records ready for every filing.
