Tax & Accounting for Creatives & Trade Businesses
The Ledgerist
Tax planning, tax preparation, and bookkeeping for graphic designers, motion designers, freelance creatives, design agencies, and solo trade-business owners—including electricians, plumbers, painters, and independent home-service contractors. Ledgerist helps you understand your numbers, plan for taxes, and organize your business records. We also prepare and file 1099s and help organize and reconcile records for workers’ compensation premium audits. Remote appointments are available nationwide in English or Spanish.
1099s & Workers’ Compensation Audit Support
For solo trade-business owners who pay helpers or subcontractors, the next step depends on the records and the request—not just the form you issued.
1099 preparation and filing: We review payment records and recipient information to identify reporting needs, prepare the applicable forms, and clarify missing information before filing.
Workers’ compensation premium audits: We help organize payroll and subcontractor payment records, reconcile requested figures, identify documentation gaps, and prepare responses to the auditor’s record requests. The insurer determines premium treatment under the policy and applicable rules.
What changes the next step? An incomplete payment list, a missing certificate of insurance, a different audit period, or a worker-classification question can change what needs review. Issuing a 1099 does not by itself settle worker classification or workers’ compensation treatment.
Start with your trade, the task you need help with, and the filing year or audit period. We will clarify the scope, records needed and fee before you decide. Please do not send tax IDs, payroll files or insurance documents through the public inquiry form.
