SHARPECPA

Sharpe CPA  /  For Businesses

Accounting that knows your industry.

Generic accounting software is generic because it has to be. I do the tax and the books, and I write the programs that assume your trade — its filings, its units, its margins.

The practice

What I do for you.

Tax & accounting

Returns, planning and the books behind them, for closely held businesses and the people who own them.

  • Business and individual returns
  • Books, closings and financial statements
  • Notices and representation

Governmental finance

Counties, districts and the funds they answer for. I spent three years inside a county treasury and know where the money actually gets lost.

  • Treasury, tax collection and revenue operations
  • Internal control and process review
  • Fund accounting and GASB reporting

Advisory work. I do not perform attest engagements.

Software for your trade

The applications below started as things my own clients needed and could not buy anywhere.

  • Fuel jobbers and cardlock operators
  • Heavy construction estimating
  • Retail and multi-location businesses
  • Government revenue and tax collection

Applications

Built for one industry at a time.

Each of these assumes a trade rather than trying to fit all of them. That is the whole point, and it is why they are on subscription rather than sold once and abandoned.

Fuel jobbers

Your account

One sign-in for documents and software.

The same account that runs your subscriptions is your secure document portal. Send me your records there rather than by email — it keeps them off mail servers, and it leaves a record of who sent what.
