The Credential Ledger

Two licenses most firms split between two people.
His are on one card.

A CPA sees the books. An Enrolled Agent stands between you and the IRS. Vijay Madan is both — and the rest of the ledger is just as deep.

The Big-4 Lens

Your books are already telling a story.
The question is who’s reading them.

A decade of KPMG audits trains an eye to catch what a busy owner walks past. Drag the lens across this sample return and watch five of those catches surface — each one paired with the service that handles it.

A sample document with illustrative figures, drawn to show the review. It is not a client’s return — and no finding here is a verdict on yours. It is, however, exactly how your books would be read.

Findings surfaced — 0 / 5

The eye is the offer.

This is a sample — but the reading is real. Bring your actual books to a free consultation and find out what they’ve been saying.

Services

Everything under the ledger,
under one roof.

Most small businesses stitch together a bookkeeper, a payroll service, and a tax preparer who meet once a year in a panic. Here it is one practice, one file, one standard — so the books your taxes are filed from are the books you actually run the business on.

Accounting & Finance Leadership

The month-to-month discipline — kept to an auditor’s standard
Foundation

Small Business Accounting

Bookkeeping, financial statement preparation, budgeting and forecasting, and cash-flow management — the monthly picture of your business, drawn accurately.

Kept Current

Outsourced Bookkeeping

Your books maintained by the practice, month after month — so tax season is a filing, not an excavation.

Leadership

Outsourced CFO & Controller

Interim CFO and controller services: business planning, profit improvement, operations review, strategic tax planning, due diligence, and raising capital — Fortune-200 reporting discipline at small-business scale.

Certified ProAdvisor

QuickBooks Services

Version selection, installation and online setup, chart of accounts, invoice templates, data file cleanup, and phone and email support — from a certified hand.

Every Cycle

Payroll Services

Payroll processing, federal and state payroll tax filings, direct deposit, accounting summaries and reports, W-2, W-3, and 1099 preparation, plus worker’s comp audits and unemployment claims.

Second Set of Eyes

Business Consulting

An operator’s questions, asked by someone who has sat inside very large finance departments — applied to decisions at your size.

Day One

Incorporation Services

Entity selection — LLC, S Corp, or C Corp — with business plan development, tax planning for the new business, and your accounting and QuickBooks set up right.

Tax

Where the CPA and the EA work the same file
Flagship

Tax Planning

Returns only report decisions you already made. Planning is where the year is won — income tax planning for your business and for you personally, done proactively while there is still time to change the outcome.

Filed Right

Tax Preparation

Business returns for S Corps, C Corps, and LLCs, plus personal returns — prepared by the CPA + EA who keeps your books all year, and e-filed for quicker refunds.

Meet Vijay

The career behind the practice is the practice’s whole pitch.

Most small-business accountants learn accounting at small firms. Vijay Madan learned it where the scrutiny is fiercest — auditing at a Big-4 firm, then running financial reporting for companies whose numbers answer to markets and regulators. In 2020 he pointed all of it at the businesses on his own street.

Questions, Answered Straight

Asked often. Answered plainly.

Are you a CPA or an Enrolled Agent?

Both. Vijay Madan is a California-licensed CPA (licensed in 2019) and an Enrolled Agent (since 2020) — admitted to practice before the IRS. Add a Chartered Accountant qualification from India and a QuickBooks ProAdvisor certification, and one person covers your books, your filings, and your representation.

What happens at the free initial consultation?

A conversation about your books, your taxes, and the questions you have been carrying — with Vijay himself, not a salesperson. If we are a fit, the next steps get mapped before you commit to anything. When you schedule, our guide — 4 Ways to Stay Ahead of Tax Issues — is yours to download, free.

Who will actually do my work?

Vijay Madan. Tax Plus Finance is his practice: the CPA who audits your books is the CPA who answers the phone. A decade at KPMG and financial-reporting leadership at a Fortune 200 company stand behind every engagement — without a big firm’s layers between you and the work.

My QuickBooks file is a mess. Can you clean it up?

Yes — cleanup is core work here. As a QuickBooks Certified ProAdvisor, Vijay handles version selection and setup, chart of accounts, invoice templates, and data file cleanup, so the file you run your business on is one you can trust.

Do you handle payroll and everything that comes with it?

Yes. Payroll services cover processing, federal and state payroll tax filings, direct deposit, payroll reports, and W-2, W-3, and 1099 preparation — plus worker’s comp audits and unemployment claims when they land.

I am starting a business. Which entity should I choose?

That choice — LLC, S Corp, or C Corp — is a tax decision as much as a legal one, and it is one of our incorporation services: entity selection, tax planning for the new business, and your accounting and QuickBooks set up right from the start.

How do I send you documents safely?
