Personal and business tax returns, bookkeeping, payroll, and tax planning, from one family-owned firm. Equipped for DC, Maryland, and Virginia's overlapping tax rules.
Serving small business owners for over 40 years
Every conversation, in English or Spanish. Not just the paperwork.
Authorized to file directly. Certified, not just qualified.
You might be juggling a federal contract, a security clearance that limits where you can work from, or a consulting practice you run on the side of a day job. Most firms treat all of that as background noise until tax season. Having your best interest at heart means we don't, because that side of your life is exactly where something gets missed.
Not because tax and bookkeeping firms are bad at the job. It's just how the industry works.
A missed deduction the right question would have caught. A job-costing gap nobody flagged. You don't know what you didn't know to look for.
The number could be right. It could also be wrong. You'd have no way to tell.
Not out of malice. Your success or failure doesn't change what they get paid, so there's simply nothing pushing them to look past what was asked of them.
Four decades of experience. A team that speaks your language. One firm, whether you're just filing or running a business.
Serving individuals and businesses since 1984, with the same commitment to personal service as we’ve grown.
Founded as a family tax practice.
Same family running it, same standards the whole way through.
Serving individuals and businesses across DC, Maryland & Virginia.
Every conversation, in English or Spanish. Not just the paperwork, the actual conversation, from the first call to the final return.
You don't have to switch firms as your situation changes. We handle both, so the people who already know your history don't disappear the moment things get more complex.
Work, business income, or rental property spread across the three doesn't move the way your paycheck does. We track what's owed in each place, so nothing gets missed.
Five steps, no matter what you need.
A quick tax return, book a consultation, whichever fits what you actually need right now.
Individual returns, business returns, bookkeeping, payroll, tax planning, whatever fits your situation.
Upload documents and message us directly, no chasing paper.
Monthly, quarterly, or one-time, depending on what you actually need.
Real reports, real check-ins, a real person on the other end.
No obligation to start
Straight answers, no jargon
Real advice, not a pitch

Serving Arlington and the wider DC metro area, entirely online.
A tax accountant near Arlington faces a different job than one in Florida. Virginia has state income tax, DC has its own filing rules, and a business operating across the DC, Maryland, and Virginia line deals with more moving pieces than a single-state business ever will. District Tax has served the DC metro area alongside our Tampa Bay clients for years, so a search for a business accountant near Arlington VA turns up a firm that already understands multi-jurisdiction filing.
If you've searched bookkeeper near me in Arlington or small business accountant near Northern Virginia, our monthly bookkeeping and payroll service is built for that complexity. Whether you're a solo operator in Arlington or managing a growing team across the district, we keep your books current every month, not just at filing time. See current pricing for how that works.
Every tax preparer near Arlington will tell you they handle personal and business returns. What matters is whether they catch what a DC-area business actually needs. Our business tax returns and individual tax returns services are staffed by the same bilingual team serving our Tampa Bay clients, with over 40 years of returns filed between both markets.
