Relax, We Make Accounting Easy.
Bookkeeping, payroll, and taxes that actually work together. Communication you can count on. Surprises kept to a minimum.
Trusted by Georgia businesses
Tired of chasing your books, your payroll, and your accountant?
Most of the business owners we talk to are dealing with some mix of the same frustrations. Bookkeeping that’s always a little behind. A payroll system that feels held together with tape. Tax bills that show up out of nowhere. An accountant they only hear from in March. A pile of decisions sitting on the owner’s desk because nobody else has the numbers.
It’s not that you’re doing anything wrong. It’s that the pieces were never set up to work together.
That’s the problem The SDA Way™ was built to solve

How we work
The SDA Way™ is how we install, run, review, and continually improve the financial side of your business. Four steps. One coordinated system.
Install
We set up your accounting, payroll, and reporting so everything talks to everything. Clean books. Real workflows. A foundation you can build on.
Run
We handle the recurring work — bookkeeping, payroll, reconciliations, reporting, tax coordination — month after month, on a steady rhythm.
Review
We meet with you on a regular schedule to walk through the numbers, plan ahead for taxes, talk through cash flow, and answer whatever questions are on your mind.
Improve
Year over year, we keep tuning. Better tax strategy. Cleaner reporting. Smarter use of QuickBooks. Fewer things on your plate.
What makes SDA different from most CPA firms?
Honest answer: most CPA firms are built around tax season. We’re built around your business. That changes how everything works.
Here’s what that looks like in practice.
- We answer. Phone, email, secure portal. You’re not waiting until April to hear from us.
- We integrate. Your bookkeeping, payroll, and taxes live in one connected system, not three disconnected ones.
- We plan ahead. Quarterly reviews catch tax issues before they’re tax bills.
- We explain. You’ll understand what the numbers mean and what to do about them.
- We don’t lock you in. No long-term contracts. If we’re not the right fit, we’ll say so and help you find one.

How quickly can SDA take over my books and payroll?
For most new clients, we can take over bookkeeping within two to three weeks and payroll on the next pay cycle that makes sense. We always start with a clean handoff so your team isn’t scrambling.
Do I have to switch to QuickBooks Online?
Not necessarily, but most of our clients use it and that’s where we work best. If you’re on QuickBooks Desktop, another system, or spreadsheets, we’ll talk through the trade-offs during your Discovery Meeting.
What does SDA cost?
Pricing depends on the size and complexity of your business and which services you need. Full Client Accounting Services typically start in the low thousands per month. Business tax returns and 1040s are priced separately. We don’t hide the ball — see the Pricing page for ranges and what drives them.
Are you taking new clients?
Yes, with limits. We add roughly two new ideal-fit clients per month so we can give every client real attention. If we’re full, we’ll say so and let you know when we expect to open back up.
Where are you located?
We have two offices: Dunwoody and Cumming. We work with clients all over Georgia and meet over Zoom anytime in-person isn’t practical.
