5 Star Accounting And Business Solutions

Genevieve Maiorana founded 5 Star Accounting in 2010 and leads it as president; she puts her background at more than two decades in accounting, tax strategy and business advisory, working mainly with small to mid-sized companies on financial performance, internal controls and strategic planning. Tax preparation and planning are the core, with unfiled return completion offered separately for people who have fallen behind. Bookkeeping is taken on whatever the client already runs — even Excel — the aim being expense categorization consistent enough to both read the business and support deductions.

Much of the work sits ahead of the filing itself, in conversations about what the numbers mean, and individuals are served alongside businesses. A steady stream of written guidance for local owners covers when an LLC's profit justifies an S corp conversion, depreciation on discarded equipment, midyear profitability checks and succession runways. Documents move through a client portal. One small-business client's engagement extended to hiring, termination and QuickBooks questions.
