New businesses, S-corps & real estate · Columbia, LA 71418

Start the company right. Then keep more of what you earn.

Daniel Robinson CPA, LLC specializes in new businesses — forming the LLC, registering with local and state authorities, writing the business plan, and standing up the books, payroll, and tax calendar from day one. After that, we stay with you: S-corps, rentals, and year-round planning for owners in Columbia, Caldwell Parish, and North Louisiana.

Lower taxes

Year-round reduction planning — entity, compensation, rentals, and timing — not a scramble in March.

Saved time

We take the books, payroll, and filings so you can run the crew, the shop, or the properties.

Stay compliant

Returns, estimates, and payroll that match the facts. Fewer letters. Fewer surprises.

A core specialty

We specialize in new businesses.

Starting a company is more than a Secretary of State filing. We take you from the first conversation through a Louisiana LLC (or the entity that actually fits), local and state registration, a written business plan, and the books, payroll, and tax setup that should exist on opening day.

  • LLC and entity formation, operating agreements, and EIN
  • Registration with local and state authorities
  • Business plans and startup projections you can take to a bank
  • First-year books, payroll, licenses, and a tax calendar
Formation papers, a business plan, and a pen on a desk

Does your CPA specialize in this?

S-corps, rentals, and closely held businesses — not a stack of 1040s at a folding table.

If your current preparer files the forms and disappears until next April, you are leaving money on the table and taking risk you cannot see. We stay in it: books, payroll, estimates, and a plan you can execute.

  • New LLC formation and Louisiana registration
  • Business plans written for a bank, a partner, or you
  • S-corp reasonable compensation and payroll
  • Rental real estate and passive-loss reporting
  • Catch-up bookkeeping when the QuickBooks file is a mess
  • One office in Columbia — not a call center

Outsourced accounting

One engagement that can cover the year — not ten vendors.

  1. 01

    Catch-up & cleanup

    We get the books current, fix the mess, and document what actually happened last year.

  2. 02

    Tax reduction analysis

    We read the returns, the books, and how you get paid — then list the opportunities that are real for your facts.

  3. 03

    A written tax plan

    Entity, compensation, estimated payments, and rental treatment — in writing, updated as the year changes.

  4. 04

    Bookkeeping that stays current

    Monthly or quarterly books so planning is based on numbers, not memory.

  5. 05

    Payroll set up correctly

    Especially for S-corps: reasonable wages, deposits, and filings that match the plan.

  6. 06

    Pay-in so April is not a surprise

    Estimates go in on purpose. We would rather you keep the cash than lend it to the IRS.

  7. 07

    Reports you will actually read

    Profit, cash, and tax position — short, in English.

  8. 08

    Pre-year-end meeting

    Equipment, retirement, bonuses, and rental moves while there is still time to act.

  9. 09

    Year-end close

    Books closed, documents gathered, returns queued — not a March scramble.

  10. 10

    Returns filed, plan carried forward

    Business and personal returns prepared together so K-1s, basis, and rental losses actually flow.

S-corp setup & cleanup

We’ll advise you on the right entity — then set it up so payroll matches the plan.

Forming an S-corp is not the win. Running it is: reasonable wages, timely deposits, basis tracking, and distributions that don’t create a problem two years later. That is ordinary work in this office.

Questions owners actually ask

Yes. New-business work is a core part of the practice: LLC and entity formation, registration with local and state authorities, business plans, EINs, books, and a first-year tax calendar. We do not hand you a form and disappear.
