Owning and operating a business shouldn't be so hard.
As your business grows and becomes more successful, you find yourself with more and more on your plate, especially the financial side of the business. It leaves you overwhelmed.
Every decision has to run through you, and because you can't rely on books that are up-to-date, complete, and accurate, you end up carrying all of the financial aspects of the business in your head: tracking what's owed, remembering what's due, and guessing how much money you'll have next month. But a more successful business should make your life easier, not harder.
We make running a business in New Mexico easier.
That's why we designed an accounting firm that becomes the back office for small businesses in New Mexico:
Everything under one roof
Bookkeeping, payroll, taxes, and New Mexico gross receipts. You're not stitching together a bookkeeper, a tax preparer, and your own spreadsheet.
Answers, not homework
Proactive, direct advice on the decisions that make the business more money and keep your taxes down, so you don't have to work it out yourself.
Digital and mobile first
We run it on modern technology that can be handled on your phone, instead of paper, phone calls, and in-person drop-offs.
One firm, one point of contact, so running your business gets easier.
How It Works
The core of what we do for small businesses is bookkeeping, tax planning and preparation, and payroll. Here's what that process looks like.
Initial Set Up
We get the foundation right: the correct entity for your situation, your books and payroll on software with bank feeds, and the early tax wins that come from starting clean.
Monthly Tasks
We keep it running every month: bookkeeping and clean financials, your New Mexico gross receipts filed on cadence, and payroll handled.
Regular Review
We meet with you multiple times a year for proactive tax planning, catching savings before year-end and making the operational fixes worth acting on.
Ongoing Improvement
We help you actually make those changes and stay on them, so the things you keep meaning to get to don't sit for another year.
Who It's For
Trades and contractors
You came up through the trade, and now you run the business. We set up the right entity, keep your gross receipts filed on time, and handle payroll, so you can grow without surprises from the state.
Independent healthcare professionals
You're a clinician, not a bookkeeper, and you'd rather this be someone else's job. We handle the compliance, cut your self-employment tax where an S-corp fits, and stay on top of gross receipts, so you can focus on your practice.
Artisans, artists, and makers
Your work is a craft, not a spreadsheet. We keep the books clean through feast-or-famine seasons, plan ahead for taxes, and handle the gross receipts that come with selling your work, so you can keep making it.
Business owners who happen to be accountants.
Founder Jason Arsenault grew up in New Mexico and spent years working in small and large businesses, including the retail and wholesale side of New Mexico's Native American art trade, before opening the firm in 2023.
As a business owner and a CPA he understands what the numbers in your financials mean. It's also the reason Arsenault CPA is built around small business owners and the way they actually work.
The advice here is straightforward and honest, even when it's not what you're hoping to hear, and why the goal is to help you build a more successful business, not just deliver your books.
Let's make your business easier to run.
Whether you're running crews, seeing patients, or selling your work, you get one firm handling the books, payroll, taxes, and New Mexico gross receipts, and the peace of mind that it's actually handled.
