CPA and accounting firm in Denver, Colorado

Working with Denver businesses

Denver is the center of Colorado’s economy. It is the state capital and home to company headquarters, a large convention and hospitality trade, and some of the most active commercial and residential real estate in the region. That mix shapes the work our Denver office does. On any given week it might include monthly bookkeeping for a growing services company, payroll for a restaurant group, a cost segregation question from a building owner or diligence on a business acquisition.

Doing business in Denver also means a second layer of tax. The City and County of Denver administers its own business taxes, including sales, use and lodger’s taxes, a short-term rental tax and the Occupational Privilege Tax. Those are filed directly with the city rather than through the state, and they are easy to miss when a business opens a Denver location or starts selling into the city. We keep both levels in view.

Who we work with in Denver

Our Denver team serves owner-run companies across many industries, including restaurants and hospitality, real estate investors and developers, construction and trades, professional practices and technology and service firms. Many clients come to us for one need, such as catching up their books or answering an IRS notice, and stay because the same team can handle payroll, tax planning and virtual CFO work as the company grows.

We also work with the owners themselves. Business and personal taxes are rarely separate, so we plan them together: owner compensation, retirement contributions, real estate holdings and, eventually, the sale or succession of the company. Our mergers and acquisitions team supports buyers and sellers through diligence and closing.

One firm across the Front Range

The Denver office is one of six SBA CPA offices, alongside Littleton, Lakewood, Loveland, Estes Park and Boulder. If your business has locations or owners in more than one part of the state, you work with one firm and one set of records rather than coordinating several accountants. Meetings can happen in person, by video or by phone, and documents move securely through our client portal. An introductory call with our client services team covers what you need, the scope of the work and fit. Advice begins once an engagement is in place, and the call is the simplest way to see whether we are the right firm for you.
