Most owners didn't start a business to do bookkeeping at 10 p.m. But when the books fall behind, everything downstream breaks: you can't tell if you're actually profitable, estimated taxes become a guess, payroll filings slip, and tax season turns into an expensive scramble. 

Roughly 27% of small business owners still run everything through one bank account, mixing business and personal money (Airwallex, 2026) — which makes deductions harder to defend and decisions harder to make.

The Hubbard Accounting Firm is located in Cartersville, GA, serving businesses across Northwest Georgia — Bartow, Floyd, Cherokee, Cobb, and Paulding counties. We combine national-firm experience (PwC, EY, and KPMG; Grant Thornton) with flat monthly pricing built for businesses under about $2 million in revenue: real estate professionals, contractors and trades, restaurants and retail, and professional services. One firm owns your whole picture — books, payroll, sales tax, and the return — so nothing falls between providers.

Full-Service Accounting for Small Businesses

Bookkeeping

Monthly bookkeeping in QuickBooks Online: transactions categorized, bank and credit card accounts reconciled, and clean, current books delivered every month. Behind by months — or years? Our catch-up and cleanup projects get you tax-ready fast, and then we keep it that way.

Payroll

Full-service payroll through Gusto: on-time direct deposits, federal and Georgia payroll tax filings, W-2s and year-end forms, and new-hire reporting. For S-corporation owners, we make sure a documented, reasonable salary is actually set up and running — one of the most common gaps we find, and one of the most expensive to leave broken.

Sales & Use Tax Compliance

Georgia sales and use tax registration and filings through the Georgia Tax Center, with the correct county rates for every location you serve. We track the calendar and file on time so notices never start the conversation.

Financial Statement Preparation

Monthly financial statements prepared under AR-C Section 70 professional standards — a clear income statement and balance sheet, delivered with a plain-English note on what changed and why. It's how our clients know their margins, their cash, and their trouble spots before they become problems.

Business Formation & Entity Selection

Starting something new? We help you choose the right structure — LLC, S-corporation, or partnership — and handle the mechanics: Georgia Secretary of State registration, EIN, S-election (Form 2553) when it fits, and the accounting foundation (separate accounts, chart of accounts, payroll) so you start clean instead of untangling later.

Monthly & Quarterly Taxes

Quarterly estimated payments — federal and Georgia Form 500-ES — calculated from your actual numbers, not last year's guess, plus payroll tax deposits and filings on schedule. Because we keep your books, your estimates stay accurate as the year moves.
