Working With a Burbank CPA
Burbank's economy revolves around the studios, and many local businesses are vendors, freelancers and production service companies that work project to project. As a Burbank CPA, we help them track income by project, keep payroll and contractor payments compliant and plan business taxes so a strong production year does not end with a surprise tax bill.
Burbank Tax and Compliance Dates We Track
Burbank runs its own business license and business tax rules, separate from the City of Los Angeles, so renewals and gross receipts reporting follow the city's own schedule. We track those dates together with your federal and state returns, the $800 minimum franchise tax that LLCs and corporations owe the California Franchise Tax Board, and sales tax filings with the CDTFA if you sell taxable goods. If you have employees, we also handle payroll tax deposits and quarterly reports with the California EDD.
How to Start With a Burbank CPA
Getting started with a Burbank CPA is simple. We begin with a short consultation, review your current books and tax returns, and then set up a monthly routine that fits your business. You can see how our packages work on the pricing page or contact us to book a strategy session. Meetings can take place at our Woodland Hills office or by video, whichever suits you best.
