C & A Accounting & Tax Services

Chaminda Fernando started the firm in 2007 and is the person clients deal with, though the experience he claims shifts between pages — more than 20 years in the banner, more than 15 in his own biography. Much of the work is the back office of a small business: the books, the payroll, and part-time CFO help for owners who need a finance person without hiring one. For those who prefer to keep their own records, there is QuickBooks setup and training. The tax side reaches well past the annual return into trouble that has already started, so returns that were never filed, balances owed from earlier years, liens and levies, wage garnishment, payment plans and offers in compromise all fall within it, as does representation in an IRS audit. Individual clients come for financial and estate planning, and for elder care work on behalf of a relative. Audits, reviews and compilations, forensic accounting and business valuation are also offered.
