Rafael Carmona

Hello, my name is Rafael Carmona, EA.

I started One Plus Business and Tax Consulting over twenty-five years ago to offer a different kind of service.

Most accountants do a fine job recording history. They compile your books and records. And at tax time, they put the “right” numbers in the right boxes on the right forms, to meet the right deadlines. But then they call it a day.

That’s not our mission!

We believe your future is more important than your past. Our ultimate goal is to deliver life-changing value to each client. Not just crunch numbers.

We understand your money is not just in your back pocket, it’s closest to your heart.

Your business is your passion, your family’s security, and your fiscal future.

We exist to help you take care of it.

SMALL BUSINESS DAY-TO-DAY SOLUTIONS

Enjoy higher profits, greater wealth, and more time to devote to growing your business.

We offer practical, cost-effective solutions that alleviate the burden of your small business accounting tasks.

As a small business owner, hiring an in-house accountant is not always feasible or practical. It takes time, dedication, and discipline that many entrepreneurs don’t have to give. They struggle to keep up with the day-to-day fiscal functions needed to keep their small business running well.

Outsourcing your small business bookkeeping, accounting, and payroll needs to us, offers you freedom to spend your time focused on making more money.

WORRY LESS – DO WHAT YOU DO BEST!

WE HELP YOU MAKE BETTER DECISIONS

As a business owner, in order to make good decisions you need precise, reliable information.

We review your financial statements and chart of accounts to ensure that they accurately reflect actual performance.  We also analyze all business expenses to find opportunities to increase profitability and cash flow.

WE HELP YOU BUDGET BETTER

Being able to budget and forecast cash flow is vital for business owners to ensure that their business goals are being supported by their activities. We’ll meet with you on a regular basis to analyze business performance and adjust where needed. The goal is to build value in your company and eventually move your most important asset to your personal balance sheet.

When you have to work for money, you don’t have choices. When you no longer have to work for money - you do your best work!

Are you taking proactive measures now to save taxes later?

PROACTIVE MONEY MANAGEMENT SOLUTIONS

As a business owner, you rely on information. Information on investments, products, markets, and customers.

You need information to make money. And information to keep money.

You rely on your accountant for some of your most important information. At tax time, your books tell your accountant how much tax you owe. You scramble for more receipts and more deductions. But by tax time, it’s usually too late to do anything more.

Is that all you really want?

We go beyond, to give you proactive advice and strategies to help you earn more and keep more.

We don’t simply handle your tax-year history by recording the numbers you give us … we proactively partner with you, providing the information you need to …

+ Make better business decisions
+ Minimize your tax liabilities
+ Protect your earnings

+ Protect your assets
+ Minimize your risk of audit
+ Grow your business

WE OFFER TAX REDUCTION COACHING FOR ANY SIZED BUSINESS

CPAs and accountants typically engage with their clients at the end of the fiscal year to prepare and file their taxes. They serve reactively.

An Enrolled Agent (EA) is a tax practitioner with a specialized license from the federal government. They are professionals who specialize in taxation only.

Enrolled Agents are required to complete specialized training, undergo an intensive application screening, and pass rigorous testing.  An EA has limitless rights to represent their clients before the Internal Revenue Service.

Approaching their clients’ needs proactively, EAs or Certified Tax Coaches, specialize in finding deductions, credits, loopholes, and strategies to help their clients pay less tax.
