Accounting & Bookkeeping for real life.
Bookkeeping, tax preparation, and help navigating the situations that come with both. Understandable answers and practical next steps.
Bookkeeping
Whether your books are brand new or could use a little polish, we’ll get them where they need to be. If things have gotten messy, that’s okay. You don’t need to clean them up before you bring them over. Let’s get to it.
Straightforward bookkeeping at $90/hour. No packages, no setup fees, and no paying extra just because your business needs something different.
We will start where you are.

Tax Preparation
Tax returns are more than a stack of forms. We’ll look at what actually happened during the year, ask the questions that need asking, and put the pieces together from there.
What Tax Preparation Includes
Tax preparation starts with the information you provide and the questions we ask along the way. If something doesn’t make sense, we’ll ask. If we need something else, we’ll tell you. And when the return is finished, we’ll explain what matters before it gets filed.
We will find what matters.
Individual & Joint Tax Returns
Business Tax Returns
Self-Employed & Small Business Taxes
Tax Situations & the IRS
We will figure out what happened.
IRS letters have a way of making everything feel urgent. Sometimes something was missed. Sometimes something was filed incorrectly. Sometimes the IRS simply needs more information. And sometimes they’re wrong. We’ll start with the notice, look at what was filed and what actually happened, and determine what needs to happen next.
Some tax situations require services beyond what Hearthlight provides. If your situation needs an attorney, investment professional, or another specialist, we will tell you.
