Small Business Owners

I've worked with Goranson Tax and Consulting as my Tax Preparer for 2 decades. I wouldn't go anywhere else. It is a small family run business that originally specialized in accounting for non-profits and currently do it all. They did a great job when I ran my own business and continue to service my husband and me, sometimes complicated, personal income tax processing. EA Blake is my go-to for advice and understanding to be compliant and not leave any of our tax benefits on the table. The service is professional, warm, prompt and very fairly priced. It's a relief to have this area of my life taken care of locally by an expert heart-felt professional with a history of longevity and excellence.

I’ve worked alongside Goranson Tax and Consulting for several years, and they have become my most trusted tax partner. Their level of professionalism, communication, and attention to detail makes them an easy recommendation for my clients. I especially appreciate how easy they are to collaborate with on shared clients. Their communication is clear, timely, and always focused on achieving the best outcome. Whether it’s tax planning, filings, or resolving unique issues, they consistently deliver reliable and timely service. I’m grateful to have such a strong local partner to collaborate with.

I can’t recommend Goranson Tax & Consulting enough! They are incredibly knowledgeable, keep every detail organized, and make tax season stress-free. The team explains everything clearly, catches things I would’ve missed, and makes filing feel simple rather than overwhelming. It’s such a relief knowing my taxes and finances are in such capable hands

Common Questions

What’s the difference between a CPA and an Enrolled Agent?

An Enrolled Agent (EA) like Blake is federally licensed by the IRS and specializes specifically in taxation. EAs can represent clients in all tax matters nationwide. CPAs are state-licensed and may focus on broader accounting areas. For tax-specific expertise, an EA is often the best fit.

Do you work with both individuals and small businesses?

Yes. We provide tax preparation, planning, and bookkeeping services for individuals, sole proprietors, contractors, LLCs, and small to mid-size businesses.

What bookkeeping software do you work with?

We primarily use QuickBooks, but we can also work with other platforms if needed. We’ll help ensure your books stay clean, accurate, and ready for tax season.

How does pricing work?

We offer clear, flat-rate monthly bookkeeping packages and transparent tax preparation pricing — no hidden fees, no long-term contracts. Your rate is based on complexity and the level of support you need.

Can Goranson Tax help if I’m behind on my bookkeeping or taxes?

Absolutely. Whether you’re a few months behind or several years, we can help you catch up, get organized, and file correctly without judgment.
