Helping creative entrepreneurs take control of their finances

We take the fear out of financials
so you can focus on what you do best!

Let's grow your business together!

Set up your business so that your
hard-earned money stays in your pocket.

Whether you are bootstrapping, hitting five figure months or somewhere in between, you need to know how to actually manage the financials of a successful business.

A lot of small business owners fear not knowing what to do or that they’re doing it wrong.

Yet they still end up handling all their business and personal finances on their own, because they question whether working with a CPA is worth the investment.

As a result, you usually end up…

Being self-employed means
your time is already at a premium.

You don’t have time to map out a budget and investments, much less learn how to crunch the numbers properly, so you don’t get yourself in trouble.

Partnering with a tax professional gives you your time back and allows you breathing room to expand your business in ways that mean more than money.

Anyone can “do your taxes” once a year. Working with SweeterCPA means you have a trusted partner to make sure your

business goals are being met,

questions are always answered

you have that work life balance you desire.

Spend more time doing what you love - not doing math.

Trusted by these clients

People throw around the term "Hero of our time" a bit too freely these days, but Helena's is the face you should imagine when you think it. She and her team can handle any sort of tax situation, from quiet to quagmire, with speed, expertise, and kindness. For those of us who need reminders about the difference between 1099s and Schedule Cs and basically all business everythings... she is an invaluable and amazing resource.

I've had the pleasure of working with Helena at SweeterCPA for a few years now. I had always done my own taxes but when I started my own business I knew I needed help to sort it all out. I made the right choice hiring Helena. We've worked with her on our taxes for a few years now and had a consult call about the tax implications of a financial decision we were considering. I feel so taken care of with her and her team. She is knowledge, responsive, very thorough, and patient. I'm grateful for her guidance and her assistance.

I've been fortunate to work with SweeterCPA for the better part of seven years, and can honestly say that Helena has been one of the greatest assets to my company. What used to be an annual period of stress and wondering if I'm "doing this right" is now a breeze, thanks to Helena and her expertise. What a relief to not have to worry about my taxes! I've recommended Helena to friends and colleagues in the past and will continue to do so — if you're looking for a kind, organized, and friendly CPA to help your small business, you can't go wrong with SweeterCPA. Thank you so much for all you do, Helena and team!
