Who we help · Trucking & Owner-Operators

Bookkeeping for Twin Cities owner-operators.

Per diem, mileage, fuel tax, and a stack of 1099s from every broker you ran a load for. The deductions are real — but only if your books capture them.

Common things we see

What your books actually need.

Per diem + mileage tracked, not estimated.

The IRS per diem and standard mileage rates are real deductions — but only if you tracked them. We work with what you log (ELD reports, fuel receipts, settlement statements) and turn it into something your tax return can use.

Fuel tax (IFTA) across state lines.

If you cross state lines, you owe IFTA — quarterly, by jurisdiction, based on miles and gallons. We coordinate the quarterly filings so a missed report doesn't become a stop-work order.

The 1099 stack from every broker.

Each broker, each freight company, each direct shipper sends a 1099. We reconcile what you actually got paid against what they reported — because mismatched 1099s are how a CP2000 notice happens.

Which package fits

Most trucking & owner-operators owners we work with start with Books + Tax.

Trucking has the most documentation-dependent deductions of any business we work with — per diem, mileage, fuel tax, and depreciation all stack up. Books + Tax keeps the documentation flowing year-round so April isn't a panic.

Books + Tax

Full-year bookkeeping plus annual tax filing — one person, one bill.
