IRS Authorized e-File Provider
We are an accounting firm built for one trade: pool cleaning and service. Route purchases, chemical inventory, repair parts, seasonal swings, and the deductions a generalist CPA does not know to ask about.
Federal figures under current law. Section 179 and amortization rules depend on your entity type, income, purchase agreement, and state — which is exactly the work. We confirm each against your actual return before relying on it.
The problem
A generalist CPA files your return the same way they file a dentist's. That is how pool guys buy a $90,000 route, expense it wrong, and never recover the deduction they were entitled to.
Buying accounts from another pool company is an intangible asset with a specific amortization treatment — usually fifteen years, allocated across the purchase agreement. Expensed in year one or ignored entirely, you either invite an adjustment or lose the deduction.
Chlorine, acid, tabs, and salt sitting in the shop on December 31 are inventory. Filters, pumps, and repair parts on the shelf are too. A single 'supplies' number hides your true margin and your real deduction.
Weekly service, one-off repairs, equipment installs, and retail chemical sales have different margins — and in many states, different sales tax treatment. One revenue line means you cannot see which part of the business is actually paying you.
Northern routes swing hard between opening and closing season. Sunbelt routes run year round with a summer spike. Flat quarterly estimates fit neither, so you overpay in one quarter and scramble in another.
Truck, trailer, vacuums, poles, and test equipment each have their own depreciation story. Bundled together, you lose the Section 179 and bonus depreciation timing that matters most in a heavy buy year.
Every dollar of profit is hitting self-employment tax. An S-Corp election with a defensible reasonable salary usually pays for our entire fee in the first quarter.
What we do
Everything a pool service operator needs to stay compliant, stay profitable, and stop overpaying — under one roof.
Proactive, quarterly, and built for a route-based service business that grows by acquisition.
Federal, state, and local returns filed accurately and on time — for the business and for you personally, coordinated so nothing falls between them.
Monthly books closed by people who know what a case of tabs costs and how a prepaid seasonal service plan should hit the ledger.
Starting a pool route, or finally structuring the one you have been running out of a truck? We handle the entity, the paperwork, and the accounts in one pass.
Money on the table
These are the line items we find missing on almost every pool service return that walks through the door. Each one is ordinary, necessary, and defensible — it just requires someone who knows the trade.
Find My Missed DeductionsHow it works
Send last year's return and a recent P&L. We come back with what was missed and roughly what it cost you.
One fixed monthly fee covering the services you actually need. No hourly billing, no surprise invoices for phone calls.
We rebuild the chart of accounts, fix depreciation and route amortization, correct classification issues, and file any elections that need to be made.
Monthly financials, quarterly planning calls, estimates handled, and a return that is finished long before the deadline.
Pricing
Three plans, a short list of add-ons, nothing custom. The plan decides what you get; add-ons only cover more volume, extra filings, or accrual books.

Client results
“I bought 140 accounts for ninety grand and my old accountant put the whole thing on the P&L as an expense. These guys fixed the allocation, amended the return, and got the amortization set up correctly.”
“Splitting service from repair revenue was the whole game. Turns out repairs were carrying us and we were underpricing weekly service by about fifteen percent across the board.”
“S-Corp election, reasonable salary, retirement plan, all done in one meeting. Saved more in the first year than I paid them, and I stopped dreading April.”
Pool service, cleaning, repair, and closely adjacent route-based trades. That focus is the whole point — we are not learning your business on your dime, and the strategies we run are the ones that repeat across hundreds of route operators.
Purchased customer accounts are generally a Section 197 intangible amortized over fifteen years, with the purchase price allocated across accounts, equipment, and any non-compete. It is not a year-one expense — and if it was treated that way, we can usually amend.
Yes. We are fully remote and file in all 50 states. Documents move through a secure portal, meetings happen by video or phone, and you can text your accountant directly.
It is the most common way clients arrive. We quote cleanup separately from ongoing work, bring the books current, and get delinquent returns filed. No lectures.
Usually once net profit clears roughly $60k–$80k, but it depends on payroll, owner count, state, and whether you are about to buy routes or equipment. We run the actual numbers for your business before recommending it.
One flat monthly fee, quoted before you sign anything, based on transaction volume, entity count, and payroll headcount. Calls, texts, and questions are included — you will never get an invoice for asking us something.
From the blog
Most year-end tax advice is a list of things to buy. These are the items that change what you owe, ordered by how much they typically move the number.
The S-corp election saves self-employment tax on distributions, not on everything. Here is the arithmetic, and where it stops being worth the paperwork.
Two ways to write off a service vehicle in year one. They are not interchangeable, and picking the wrong one can strand a deduction you cannot use.
Free review, no obligation, and a straight answer within one business day.
