Already have a CPA? Keep them.

If you already have an accountant you trust, you don't have to give them up. We identify your R&D tax credit and hand it off to your CPA to claim. Want your books handled too? We do that as well.

How the R&D credit reaches your return.

  1. 1

    Keep your CPA

    Nothing to cancel and nobody to replace. Your accountant stays your accountant.

  2. 2

    We identify your R&D credit

    We look at your product and engineering work, find what qualifies, and document it.

  3. 3

    Your CPA claims it

    We hand the credit off to your CPA, who claims it on your return like they do today.

If you add bookkeeping: what changes, and what doesn't.

Stays the same

  • Your CPA, and the relationship you've built
  • Who prepares and files your tax returns
  • The tax advice and planning you already rely on

Gets easier

  • Every transaction categorized, every month
  • Bank and card accounts reconciled
  • A monthly P&L, balance sheet, and cash flow report
  • One checklist for the documents your books need

Questions founders ask

Do I have to switch CPAs to work with Staxiom?

No. We identify your R&D credit and hand it off to your CPA, and our bookkeeping plan is bookkeeping only. Your CPA keeps doing your tax returns and the advice you already rely on.

Will you work with my CPA directly?

Yes. We're happy to meet with you and your CPA together and work out what they need from your books before you decide anything.

Can you just look at our R&D credit?

Yes. We check whether your work qualifies for free. If it does, we document the credit and hand it off to your CPA to claim on your return. Bookkeeping is there if you want it.

What if I want one team for both later?

Tax prep and filing are included starting with our second plan, so you can move your returns over whenever it makes sense for you. It's an option, never a requirement.

Want your CPA on the call?

Bring them. We're happy to walk through how we'd work together before you decide anything.
