CPA Tax & Accounting Services in Orange County

Taylor Montgomery, CPA provides tax preparation, proactive tax planning, bookkeeping, and accounting advisory for individuals and owner-led businesses throughout Orange County.

Clients work directly with an active CPA with nearly 12 years of experience across tax, accounting, audit, and financial reporting. That combination is especially useful when tax filings, day-to-day books, and management reporting need to work together rather than being handled as unrelated tasks.

Services for Orange County Individuals and Businesses

Taylor provides defined, CPA-led engagements based on the client’s records, responsibilities, and needs.

Tax Preparation and Planning

Accurate preparation begins with organized information and a clear understanding of filing obligations. Planning looks ahead to expected income, estimated payments, major transactions, and changes that may affect the individual or business.

Bookkeeping and Financial Reporting

Reliable books make tax preparation easier and give owners a clearer view of cash flow, profitability, margins, and unresolved issues. Taylor can assist with monthly accounting, cleanup, reconciliations, and decision-useful reporting.

Industry Experience

Taylor’s experience is especially relevant to real estate, construction and skilled trades, manufacturing and consumer products, professional and service-based businesses, and individuals, families, and retirees, including people with investments or more complex income sources.

Accounting for Contractors and Construction Businesses

Contractors and construction businesses need accounting information that connects job activity, overhead, cash flow, and tax obligations. Reliable contractor accounting, consistent bookkeeping and reconciliations, and proactive tax planning can help owners understand project margins, upcoming payments, and the difference between reported profit and available cash.

Support for Real Estate Investors and Related Businesses

Real estate activity can involve separate entities, property-level records, rental or development costs, financing activity, and information that ultimately flows into tax filings. Taylor provides real estate accounting and tax support designed to keep records organized and make financial information easier to use.

Professional and Owner-Led Businesses

Professional firms and owner-led businesses often need clear month-end information, cash-flow visibility, business and owner tax coordination, and reporting that goes beyond a basic transaction list. Services may include accounting for professional and service-based businesses, financial reporting, and defined advisory projects based on the company’s records and goals.

Individuals, Families, and Retirees

Taylor also works with individuals, families, and retirees whose tax situations may include estimated payments, retirement income, rental or pass-through activity, investments, or multi-state considerations. Tax preparation and planning are based on each client’s facts and do not include investment management or investment recommendations.

Communities Served

Taylor serves clients throughout Orange County, including Laguna Niguel, Irvine, Newport Beach, Mission Viejo, and surrounding communities. Services can be provided remotely, and in-person meetings may be arranged based on location and engagement needs.

Direct CPA Involvement

Clients work directly with Taylor. Before work begins, the engagement agreement identifies the scope, responsibilities, timing, deliverables, and fees.
