What We Handle
Every service, for Goochland County
The full firm is available to Goochland County clients — the same people on your engagement from the first call to the last.
Goochland County tax work is still Form 1040s, entity selection, and IRS problems, even when the office you visit is in Richmond or Henrico. O'KEEFFECPA & Associates keeps tax preparation, tax resolution, and small-business setup in one practice so a county client is not handed between shops. If you are starting or growing a business and need the right entity and books, or you cannot tell filing from extras, the consult does not obligate you. We share records through the portal and talk next steps, not slogans.
Goochland County sits in the Piedmont of the Commonwealth of Virginia. Its southern border is formed by the James River. As of the 2020 census, the population was 24,727. The county seat is Goochland. Manakin-Sabot, Oilville, and Centerville are the other names on the local list. Henrico County and Richmond are the usual drive; Powhatan County, Hanover County, and Chesterfield County sit around the same map. Those are facts about the county. They are not a claim of work along the river.
Lorna Secondi wrote, "Has been our household tax preparer for a decade, and then when I incorporated as a contractor, took over my small business taxes." That pattern, household then company, is common for Goochland County clients who incorporate later. Three Virginia locations support the relationship: Downtown Richmond, Henrico, and Alexandria on Eisenhower Avenue. Book by phone at (804) 421-9550. Pay online when the engagement starts. Bring questions about structure, not a pile of slogans you want repeated back.

How we work in Goochland County
Individual & Business Tax Preparation
Goochland County clients who keep a household return and a company return should have both prepared together. Form 1040 and Form 1120-S in one engagement stops the April mismatch. After you agree on scope, files go through the portal. We say what the filing contains before the upload, not after.
IRS Tax Resolution & Dispute Representation
Distance from Richmond does not change how an IRS file works. For Goochland County, dispute representation still means a fact-based look at Offer in Compromise, Currently Not Collectible, penalty abatement, and levy relief. If those tools are the wrong tools, you hear it in the consult. You do not buy a packaged relief myth.
Small Business Formation & Entity Selection
Entity selection for Goochland County is LLC versus S-corp versus C-corp against income, payroll, and K-1 reality. County businesses that grow without a structure conversation often inherit a default that no longer fits. We run that conversation first. We recommend the smallest change that solves the tax and compliance problem.
Bookkeeping Services
County distance makes messy books more expensive because every correction is another trip or another portal round. Monthly bookkeeping is still just transaction recording. If you already keep a clean export, Goochland County tax prep may not need a monthly engagement. We will say so.
Payroll Services
Payroll compliance for a Goochland County employer is withholding, reporting, and quarterly filings. It is not a synonym for bookkeeping. Hire staff, and we scope payroll. Stay owner-only, and we leave payroll off. No bundled "accounting" that hides which job you bought.
Tax Planning & Consulting
When Goochland County owners move past basic filing, the next useful layer is estimated taxes and tax-efficient structure, not a thicker brochure. Tax planning is year-round on purpose. It is optional on purpose. We will not slide you into advisory because the county seat is a longer drive.
Federal Acquisition Services
Federal acquisition remains a specialized service for government contracting support. A Goochland County farm, shop, or professional practice does not receive it unless that is the work. If it is the work, it is a separate scope with its own documents.
Amended Tax Returns
Prior-year correction for a Goochland County return is Form 1040-X. We amend when the original year is wrong in a way that changes tax. Wanting a second look at old files is allowed. Turning every look into an amended filing is not how we work.
Back Taxes & Unfiled Returns
Unfiled years from Goochland County still have to be prepared and submitted. Catch-up filings are a project with an end. Collection questions come after the returns exist. Flexible scope, no penalty-shaped exit, and the smallest engagement that closes the gap.
Self-Employed & Schedule C Tax Filing
Self-employed Goochland County filers on Schedule C deal with self-employment tax and estimates without a partner or payroll department. We file that. Incorporation is a later conversation if the numbers and the admin load justify it. It is not the opening pitch.
Tax Preparation & Filing
Tax preparation and filing is the annual close: get Goochland County records in, return out. Use it when you do not need resolution, books, or a new entity this year. We still explain what usually sits in versus out of a CPA engagement so extras are named, not sprung.
Goochland County questions, answered
How does a Goochland County client actually work with a Richmond and Henrico office?
Share files online through the portal, book time when you need a meeting, and drive to 1 N. 5th Street or 4110 E. Parham Road when a sit-down is worth it. Alexandria on Eisenhower Avenue is the third office. Call (804) 421-9550 to schedule the consult that does not obligate you.
Which structure is more tax-efficient for my situation, S-corp, C-corp, or LLC?
There is no county-wide answer. Entity selection depends on how you take income, whether you need payroll, and how K-1s would work. We compare those facts in the consult and recommend the lowest-cost fit. We will not pick a form because it sounds more official.
Will you review prior years to see if I have been overpaying?
We can look at prior-year returns as a defined review. If a material error shows up, an amended return is the tool. If the old years are fine, we say so and you skip the amend. Curiosity is not billed as if we already found a problem.
Should I hire you hourly or as a fixed filing engagement?
For a known Goochland County return, a defined filing scope is usually clearer than an open hourly meter. Ongoing books or planning can be a separate agreement with an annual needs check. We present the smaller suitable option first. You are not locked into a contract you do not need.
