A mid-Missouri CPA firm that actually picks up the phone.
Tax preparation, tax planning, and monthly accounting for individuals and businesses in Columbia, Jefferson City, Ashland, and the Lake of the Ozarks.
Most people don’t think about their accountant until they need one.
We built Terrell CPA & Advisory around the opposite idea: you should hear from us before there’s a problem, not after. We handle the returns, the reconciliations, and the reporting. But the part of the job we take most seriously is simpler than that. When you need help, you get a response from a real person. That’s the standard we hold ourselves to, backed by 10 years of accounting experience.
What we do
-
Federal and state returns for W-2 employees, retirees, business owners, side-hustlers, and everyone in between.
-
Sole proprietorships, partnerships, S corps, and LLCs, prepared by someone who already knows your books.
-
We help you identify proactive tax strategies that legally lower your tax bill - so you don’t have any surprises when you file your taxes.
-
Reconciled books and real financial statements, delivered every month, not once a year.
-
Do you need an accounting or payroll system set up? We handle it all from start to finish, so you can hit the ground running.
Industries we know well
-
Job costing, retainage, and knowing which projects are making money in real time.
-
Food cost, labor cost, inventory, pricing analysis - we aren’t just bean counters. We provide you with information in plain English that helps you run a more profitable business.
-
Property-level reporting for owners running one unit or twenty.
-
Cash flow planning is the name of the game for businesses that make most of their money in about four months.
-
From DESE reporting to cash flow planning to app implementations, we help take the stress off of school administration and daycare owners.
Why Mid-Missouri business owners work with us
-
We’re not interested in meeting you once a year to sign a return. Businesses that see their numbers every month make better decisions than businesses that see them every April - and they save more on taxes too.
-
If we can’t explain why a number is what it is, we haven’t done our job. You shouldn’t need an accounting degree to understand your own financial statements.
-
A marina books revenue differently than a law firm. A restaurant’s payroll problems aren’t a school’s payroll problems. We’d rather understand how your business actually works than hand you a generic package that doesn’t fit your needs.
