Your Numbers, Handled Right The First Time.
Monthly accounting, payroll, tax, and advisory services for business owners who want a financial partner — not just a once-a-year tax preparer. Accounting built around your business. Guidance built around your goals.
Bookkeeping, Payroll And Tax For Businesses Across Michigan
True North Tax & Accounting is a modern, remote accounting firm. We keep the books, run the payroll, file the returns and talk to you often enough that nothing inside your own business comes as a surprise.
Most owners come to us because basic bookkeeping stopped being enough. They want numbers they can trust, filings that go out on time, and someone who will take ownership of the whole picture instead of handing it back every April.
We work with businesses throughout Michigan, and we work virtually with clients anywhere in the country. Where your desk sits has never been the deciding factor. Meet the team and you will see why.
- Books closed every month, not rebuilt every spring
- Payroll run on your schedule through Gusto, ADP or QuickBooks Payroll
- Tax planned ahead of the filing, not discovered during it
Who We Work With
Every business has different challenges. Our job is to understand how your business operates and build the accounting, reporting, and tax strategy around it.
Built For Businesses With Moving Parts
Inventory, production, regulated reporting and thin margins all hide the same thing: what it really costs you to do business. Cost accounting is where our owner spent her career, and it is why operators with complicated books tend to stay. It is also the core of our industry-specific accounting services.
These are the five industries we focus on: cannabis (retailers, growers, processors and transporters), hospitality (restaurants and grocery stores), retail (furniture stores, hardware stores and independent shops), professional services and non-profits. Each one is laid out in the industries we serve.
How We Help
Grouped the way owners actually think about the work, with every service under one roof. The full services page lays out the three monthly packages.
What A Month With True North Looks Like
A monthly relationship, scoped in writing before anything starts, so you know exactly what lands on your desk and when.
We Start With What You Have
Prior year returns, the current file, the things you have been meaning to clean up. We take stock first and tell you plainly what shape the records are in.
Your Books Close Every Month
Transactions coded, accounts reconciled, the period closed. No open years, no scramble, no surprise balance in an account nobody has looked at since March.
You Get Reports You Can Actually Read
Profit and loss, balance sheet and cash position in a package built for your business, with a short note on what moved and why.
Tax Is Planned, Not Patched
Estimates set from real numbers, entity and timing decisions made while there is still time to make them, and filings that go out without a last-minute fire drill.
Why Business Owners Stay
We pay attention, and we do it right. Our team is detail-focused and dependable, we work problems together rather than passing them around, and we take real pride in getting things right the first time and on time.
We take the work seriously without taking ourselves too seriously. What you get is a knowledgeable team, answers you can act on, honest conversations about what the numbers mean, and people who care how your business does.
What Clients Tell Us
Our clients tell us they appreciate how personable, caring and dependable our team is. They know they can count on us to be responsive, genuinely invested in their success, and there when they need us.
