Business advisory and tax planning for small-business owners
in Tampa Bay and nationwide.
Better Business Decisions Start Before You Make Them.
Running a business means making decisions every day. Should you hire another employee? Buy equipment? Change how you pay yourself? Put more into retirement? Change your business structure? Make a move before year-end?
Those decisions can affect your cash flow, taxes, business and family.
At Belshaw Accounting, Tax and Advisory Services, we help small-business owners look at the whole picture before they make important financial and tax decisions.

You Don't Know
What You Don't Know
You shouldn't have to know the right tax or accounting question before you call us. That's part of our job.
If we see an opportunity, concern or question worth discussing, we bring it to your attention.
Maybe you act on it. Maybe you don't.
But at least you know the option exists.

you find if somebody looked
at your business differently?”
Good Advice Starts With Numbers You Can Trust.
Before we talk strategy, we need reliable numbers.
Are the bank accounts reconciled?
Does the balance sheet make sense?
Do payroll and the books agree?
What is the business actually earning?
Where is the cash going?

TAX PREPARATION
Reports what happened.
“I’ve worked with Paul Belshaw and Belshaw Accounting, Tax and Advisory Services for several years. Paul has helped me with my individual tax planning and tax preparation, but our relationship goes well beyond taxes. As a small business owner, I appreciate having someone I can talk to about the bigger picture. Paul works with me on Fire Safe Dryer Vent Cleaning, helping me think through marketing, business decisions, and ways to improve profitability and grow the company.
What I value most is that Paul takes an interest in the business and its success. We continue to work together, and I know I can call him when I need another perspective or have a business or tax question.
I would recommend Paul and Belshaw Accounting, Tax and Advisory Services to other small business owners who want more than someone who just prepares their tax return.”

Know Your Numbers
Revenue doesn't tell the whole story.
A business can be busy and still struggle to generate cash.
We help owners ask questions such as:
Is the business actually profitable?
Where is the cash going?
What does it cost to open the doors every month?
Can the business afford another employee?
Which costs are growing faster than revenue?
What numbers should you watch every month?
“Revenue is up. Shouldn't there be
more money in the bank?”
You don't need
50 KPIs.
You need the right numbers for your business.
