NYC's Premier Tax and Accounting Firm: Gary Mehta, CPA, EA

About NY Accounting Firm - Gary Mehta, CPA, EA

Navigating the financial landscape of New York City is an endeavor unlike any other. For individuals and business owners, the city represents a world of opportunity, but it also comes with a labyrinth of complex tax laws, rigorous compliance standards, and fierce competition. In this high-stakes environment, simply keeping up isn't enough. You need a strategic partner who can help you protect your assets, minimize your tax burden, and pave the way for sustainable growth.


Welcome to Gary Mehta, CPA, EA. We are not just another accounting firm; we are your dedicated financial advisors and steadfast advocates. Our team of experienced certified public accountants and tax professionals is committed to understanding your unique situation. We reject the one-size-fits-all approach, instead providing the personalized, expert service you deserve.


Let us guide to the world of tax and accounting services in New York. We'll explore the critical role Gary Mehta, CPA, EA plays, detail our extensive service offerings, and show you why countless New Yorkers trust us to handle their most complex financial challenges.

 

Key Insights About Our NYC CPA Firm

For busy New Yorkers, here are the essential takeaways about us:

  • Dual Expertise is Power: Our founder, Gary Mehta, holds both a CPA license and an Enrolled Agent (EA) designation. The CPA credential is rooted in rigorous accountancy standards, requiring specialized knowledge in auditing, taxation, and financial reporting. This provides a powerful combination of high-level financial accounting and elite taxation expertise, including representation before the IRS. A bachelor's degree is the minimum educational requirement for CPA licensure, and most states require additional credit hours beyond the standard four-year program.
  • Comprehensive Solutions: We offer a full spectrum of services, from individual and business tax preparation and strategic tax planning to bookkeeping, business formation, auditing, and aggressive IRS and New York State tax representation.
  • Local Knowledge is Crucial: We possess an in-depth understanding of New York City and State tax laws, which is critical for ensuring tax compliance and identifying local tax-saving opportunities that other firms might miss.
  • Proactive, Not Reactive: Our goal is to be your trusted advisor year-round, not just during tax season. We focus on proactive planning to prevent problems before they arise and to optimize your financial outcomes.
  • We Solve Tax Problems: Don’t face the IRS or NYS tax authorities alone. Our team has a proven track record of successfully resolving complex issues like tax audits, back taxes, and penalty removal.
  • Client-Centric Approach: We listen to our clients, work tirelessly to minimize their taxes, and build long-term relationships based on trust and tangible results.

Our CPAs are licensed accounting professionals with specialized expertise and responsibilities, ensuring the highest standards in accountancy and client service.


Why Choosing the Right NYC CPA Firm is Your Most Important Business Decision

In the dynamic economic engine of New York City, financial missteps can be costly. The decision to hire a qualified Certified Public Accountant is not an expense; it's a strategic investment in your financial future. A top-tier CPA firm provides far more than just tax preparation; it delivers peace of mind, strategic direction, and a significant competitive advantage.


Navigating the Complex Web of NY Tax Law

New York's tax code is notoriously complex. Beyond federal regulations, businesses and individuals must contend with state income taxes, city income taxes (for NYC), sales taxes, franchise taxes, and more. A seasoned accountant with local expertise ensures you remain in full tax compliance, avoiding the hefty penalties and interest that can derail a business. Our professionals are dedicated to mastering these intricate rules for your benefit.


The Value of a Professional Designation

What does it mean to be a licensed CPA? Earning a CPA certification is a rigorous process. It requires a minimum level of higher education—a bachelor’s degree is the minimum educational requirement, but most states require additional credit hours, often totaling 150 semester hours. Candidates must also pass all sections of the formidable four-part Uniform CPA Exam to obtain their initial CPA license. In addition, most states require candidates to have at least one year of qualifying accounting experience to obtain a CPA license. The state board of accountancy in each state sets the requirements for licensure, and state boards like NASBA oversee the licensing process. States require candidates to meet specific educational and professional standards, and states require CPAs to maintain ongoing compliance. There may also be other requirements, such as ethics exams or continuing education, depending on the state. The American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) sets high professional and ethical standards for the profession. When you hire a CPA, you are engaging a professional who has demonstrated elite competency in auditing, business analysis, financial accounting and reporting, and taxation.


Strategic Planning for Long-Term Success

The best accounting work is forward-looking. While historical reporting is important, our true value lies in helping you plan for the future. We assist with:

  • Business Analysis: Understanding your financial statements to identify trends, strengths, and weaknesses.
  • Tax Planning: Structuring transactions and making strategic decisions throughout the year to legally minimize your tax liability.
  • Entity Selection: Helping you decide whether an LLC or a Corporation is the right structure for your new venture to optimize tax benefits and protect your assets.

This strategic guidance is what separates a basic tax preparer from a true financial partner.

FAQs about our nyc accounting firm: Gary Mehta, cpa, ea

We blend big-firm expertise with a personal, boutique feel. You're not just a number in a file here. We get to know you and your business inside and out. Plus, our principal, Gary Mehta, is both a Certified Public Accountant (CPA) and an Enrolled Agent (EA). This dual qualification gives us a unique edge, especially when it comes to complex tax matters and representing clients before the IRS. 


We love working with the backbone of New York City's economy! Our clients are typically small to medium-sized businesses, ambitious startups, hardworking freelancers, and individuals with complex tax situations. We have special expertise in industries like tech, creative agencies, real estate, and professional services. 


Yes, we are proudly based in the NYC metro area! While we leverage technology to serve clients efficiently no matter where they are, we absolutely value face-to-face interaction. We're always happy to schedule an in-person meeting to discuss your financial needs. 


Great question! An Enrolled Agent is a tax specialist with unlimited practice rights to represent taxpayers before the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). It's the highest credential the IRS awards. So, if you ever face an audit, a tax notice, or other IRS issues, having an EA on your side is a massive advantage. 


We offer a full suite of services to help your business thrive, including:

  • Monthly Bookkeeping: Keeping your transactions clean and organized.
  • Financial Statement Preparation: Creating your balance sheets, income statements, etc.
  • Payroll Services: Ensuring your team gets paid correctly and on time.
  • Business Advisory: Helping you make smarter financial decisions, from cash flow management to growth strategies.


We believe tax preparation is looking in the rearview mirror; tax planning is looking ahead through the windshield. We do both! We'll handle your annual filings accurately, but our real value comes from proactive, year-round strategic tax planning to legally minimize what you owe. .


Absolutely. The gig economy is huge in NYC, and we specialize in helping freelancers and independent contractors navigate their unique tax landscape. We can help you with quarterly estimated taxes, identifying deductible expenses (home office, supplies, etc.), and setting up the right business structure, like an LLC or S-Corp. 


Yes, and please don't stress—it's more common than you think. We can help you get caught up with your back taxes and work with the IRS or state authorities to create a manageable plan. The most important step is getting started, and we're here to help without judgment. 


NY sales tax can be a headache. We can definitely manage your sales tax registration, collection, filing, and payments to ensure you're always in compliance with state and local regulations. 


First, take a deep breath. Second, do not ignore it. As an Enrolled Agent, Gary Mehta is specifically licensed to communicate with the IRS on your behalf. Just send us a copy of the notice, and we'll take it from there—investigating the issue, explaining your options, and representing you directly. 


Yes, clean bookkeeping is the foundation of good financial health. We provide comprehensive bookkeeping services to keep your records accurate and up-to-date. We're experts in QuickBooks Online, Xero, and other leading cloud-based accounting platforms. 


Welcome to the adventure! For startups in NYC, we typically recommend a package that includes business entity selection (like choosing between an LLC or S-Corp), setting up your accounting system (like QuickBooks), and initial tax planning to ensure you start off on the right foot. 


Our fees depend entirely on the scope and complexity of the work you need. We're not the cheapest option, but we provide immense value. We offer fixed-fee packages for many of our monthly services, so you'll never be surprised by a bill. For one-off projects, we'll provide a clear quote upfront. 


Yes! We offer a consultation to understand your needs and for you to see if we're the right fit. It's a two-way interview. 


It's simple. It starts with our consultation. If we both agree it's a good fit, we'll send you a clear engagement letter or an invoice that outlines the scope of work and fees. Once that's signed and fees are paid, we begin our secure onboarding process to gather the necessary documents and get started. 


We believe in proactive communication. You'll have direct access to our team via email and phone. We use a secure client portal for sharing sensitive documents and provide regular updates, especially during tax season or on monthly accounting work. You'll never be left in the dark. 


Yes. A key part of individual tax planning involves looking at your entire financial picture, including capital gains from investments and the unique tax rules for rental real estate in New York City. We can help you strategize to improve tax efficiency. 


Definitely. This is where our advisory services shine. We can help you with succession planning and exit strategies. This involves cleaning up your financials, improving profitability, and structuring the business to maximize its valuation for a future sale. 


Making the switch is easier than you think. We handle the entire process professionally and courteously. We'll coordinate with your prior accountant to get all the historical data and ensure a smooth, seamless transition with no disruption to your business. 


Tax software is a tool, like a calculator. It's good at math, but it can't give you advice, strategy, or context. It won't ask you probing questions about your five-year business plan or help you decide if you should buy a new piece of equipment for the tax deduction. We partner with you to achieve your financial goals—that's a value software can't provide.
