The
office of Don H. Wayne Associates, Inc. is your one-stop solution for
sales tax, income tax, financial accounting needs, and estate/trust
accounting.
California Sales & Use Tax
For
the past 25 years, we have trained clients to set up their sales tax
administration, minimize sales tax costs, and maximize profits. Many of
our clients have saved money and experienced short, smooth, clean
audits. Our audit representation helped one of our Seattle clients
reduce their California sales tax liability by $1.5 million.
As
one of the primary negotiators within an industry group, we worked with
the California Board of Equalization on the composition of the current
regulations and the audit manual that impacts the advertising industry.
Income Tax
Enrolled
agents (EA) can be a real lifesaver at tax time. Unlike other tax
preparers, enrolled agents are federally licensed by the U.S.
Department of the Treasury. We specialize in taxation and go through
strict testing and application procedures and continuing education to
achieve the unmatched expertise we offer you today.
Certified QuickBooks ProAdvisor
As
a ProAdvisor, we can coordinate your business controls and tax
administration needs. ProAdvisors are QuickBooks experts - we have
completed a comprehensive QuickBooks training course and exam in order
to become certified. We can help you get started on the right foot,
aiding in set-up, training and troubleshooting...even helping you move
from whatever your current accounting method is to QuickBooks.
