Comprehensive CPA Services for Growing Businesses
G&S Accountancy provides six integrated CPA service lines — audit defense, tax resolution, tax preparation, bookkeeping, financial reviews, and compliance management — for construction, transportation, and nonprofit organizations in Southern California. Each service is led by a CPA team with deep industry knowledge, backed by Treasury-authorized representation before the IRS
OUR Service
IRS & State Audit Defense
When the IRS, EDD, CDTFA, or FTB comes knocking, G&S Accountancy stands between you and the agency. AJ Singh holds a Treasury-authorized Enrolled Agent credential, granting full rights of representation before all IRS administrative levels - from correspondence audits through Tax Court preparation. We handle federal excise tax examinations, payroll classification disputes, sales tax compliance defense, and individual or business income tax examinations. You never have to speak directly with a government auditor.
Federal Excise Tax (FET) Audits
Specialized representation for transportation companies facing complex FET audits on vehicle sales, fuel, and heavy-use taxes. We know the transportation industry inside out.
EDD Payroll Classification
Independent contractor vs. employee misclassification is one of California's most aggressively audited areas. We defend your worker classification decisions with documentation and legal precedent.
CDTFA Sales Tax Audits
California Department of Tax and Fee Administration audits require precise recordkeeping and a deep understanding of exemptions. We prepare your defense and represent you at all examination levels.
IRS Income Tax Examinations
Individual and business income tax audits handled from initial notice through resolution. We review all documentation, prepare written responses, and represent you at IRS examinations without you needing to attend.
OUR Service
Tax Resolution
Outstanding tax liabilities with the IRS or California FTB don't disappear - but they can be resolved strategically. Our structured retainer model gives you a dedicated CPA team managing your case from initial assessment through final resolution. We negotiate payment installment agreements, file penalty abatement requests, explore Offer in Compromise eligibility, and handle concurrent IRS and FTB liabilities simultaneously so nothing falls through the cracks.
Payment Plans & Installment Agreements
We negotiate structured installment agreements with the IRS and FTB that fit your cash flow, keeping your business operational while systematically retiring the liability.
Penalty Abatement
First-time penalty abatement and reasonable cause arguments can eliminate substantial IRS and FTB penalties. We prepare complete abatement requests backed by documentation and precedent.
Offer in Compromise
For clients who qualify, an IRS Offer in Compromise can settle a tax debt for less than the full amount owed. We rigorously assess eligibility and prepare complete OIC packages to maximize approval odds.
Concurrent IRS + FTB Resolution
Many clients face simultaneous federal and California state liabilities. We manage both tracks in parallel, coordinating timelines and ensuring resolutions don't create conflicts between agencies.
OUR Service
Tax Preparation & Multi-Entity
Complex business structures rarely involve a single entity. We specialize in complex multi-entity tax coordination - S corporations, C corporations, LLCs, partnerships, and sole proprietorships - ensuring that income flows, deductions, and elections are optimized across your entire business structure. Year-round planning means we're identifying opportunities long before April, not scrambling at the deadline. California FTB compliance is integrated into every engagement.
Multi-Entity Coordination
We prepare and coordinate returns across multiple related entities — tracking intercompany transactions, ensuring consistent positions, and maximizing legal tax advantages across your full business structure.
S-Corp Election Review
An S-Corp election can generate significant self-employment tax savings — but only when properly structured. We analyze your situation, advise on optimal reasonable compensation, and manage the election process.
Year-Round Tax Planning
Tax strategy doesn't happen in April. We monitor your financials throughout the year, adjusting estimated payments, identifying deduction opportunities, and planning major business decisions with tax implications in mind.
California FTB Compliance
California's Franchise Tax Board has unique filing requirements, minimum taxes, and conformity issues. We ensure your California returns are complete, accurate, and positioned to avoid FTB enforcement actions.

When a compliance issue escalates to an audit, the team that knows your records is already ready to defend them.
Accurate, timely payroll with proper withholding, employer deposits, and quarterly reporting. We handle 940/941 filings, DE9 reports, and coordinate directly with your payroll system.
