"Fantastic team at Anomaly - Been a client for years and this is the ONLY place where you get CPA brainpower and legal advice IN ONE PLACE. Before working with Anomaly about something complex, the response from my accountant was "speak to your attorney", who in turn would say "we should hop onto a call with your CPA".

FrequentlyAsked Questions
How much should an accountant cost for a small business?
Accountants for SMBs typically charge between $1,000 and $5,000 per year, depending on complexity. Hourly rates range from $150 to $400, while monthly bookkeeping packages may run $300 to $2,000.
Should I get an accountant for my small business?
Yes. Hiring an accountant can save time, reduce tax liability, and help you avoid compliance issues. It’s especially helpful if your income is growing, you're managing contractors, or you're applying for funding.
What type of accountant is best for small businesses?
A Certified Public Accountant (CPA) is ideal if you need tax strategy, financial reports, or audit support. A bookkeeper is best for day-to-day transaction management. Many SMBs use both.
Can I do my own accounting for my small business?
Yes, but it's easy to make mistakes—especially when it comes to taxes and deductions. Most business owners eventually outsource accounting to save time and avoid costly errors.
What does SMB mean in accounting?
SMB stands for Small and Midsize Business. It refers to companies with fewer employees and less revenue than large enterprises, but with more complex needs than solopreneurs or freelancers.
What does a small business accountant do?
