We started
Allen Street Consulting in August but we're just now getting around to announcing it to the e:peeps. We offer small business and nonprofit consulting services that focus on improving financial and administrative management. We particularly like helping organizations through change - such as going from an excel spreadsheet or checkbook register to managing finances in a full QuickBooks solution.
We offer the following financial services:- Evaluate, select, configure, troubleshoot, fix, and support QuickBooks small business accounting software, QuickBooks Point of Sale, and integrated third-party applications. We work with QuickBooks Online, QuickBooks Pro, QuickBooks Premier (all editions), and QuickBooks Enterprise Solutions (all editions).
- Set up, troubleshoot, manage, maintain, or file taxes for payroll. We're happy to talk with the IRS, NYS Dept. of Taxation and Finance, or Pennsylvania Department of Revenue to find solutions to your payroll issues and notices.
- Set up, troubleshoot or manage sales tax.
- Weekly/monthly bookkeeping.
- Tutor users on QuickBooks or other software.
- Income tax preparation, planning, troubleshooting

Why choose Allen Street Consulting?
We know what we're doing and if we don't know every detail, we research it. I have been an independent consultant since 2003, achieved my QuickBooks certification in 2005, and graduated from University at Buffalo Law School in May 2010. My partner, who will join full time in January, has 10 years experience in a very relevant job and will have an impressive credential soon that gives him the same superpowers to practice in front of the IRS that I will (eventually) as a lawyer. We're really smart nerds and we're also very good at communicating and listening.
At the moment, we're looking to expand our regular customer base with bookkeeping and payroll services.
