New business setup and entity selection

Planning For Growth And Exit

We build operating budgets, map cash needs, and coordinate tax planning strategies to minimize costs during expansion or succession. For investors selling appreciated assets, we provide opportunity zone advisory when it fits.

Tax Compliance & Accuracy

At Gibbons & Associates, compliance is built into our process. We review prior returns, stay current on new tax laws, and file electronically for speed and accuracy. If you receive a letter or notice, we guide you in responding so you never face the IRS alone.

The Value of a CPA-Prepared Return

Using software or going it alone can lead to overlooked credits or costly mistakes. A professional return prepared by a CPA not only saves time but often reveals strategies for the year ahead. With our team, you gain peace of mind and confidence knowing every number is reviewed.

Our Tax Prep Process

Every engagement begins with a free review of your most recent return. From there, we collect the necessary documents, schedule time to review, and complete the filing. You can work with us in person at our Logan office or securely online.
