Morgantown CPA Services
Adding staff changes the financial picture beyond the wage on an offer letter. Morgantown business owners also need dependable payroll records, local account information, and a budget for the period before new capacity produces revenue. KAS provides virtual CPA support to connect those records with tax preparation and operating decisions.

Keep the city renewal calendar visible
Morgantown's municipal business licenses follow a fiscal year and renew by July 1. The city also identifies B&O tax and a municipal service fee for employees and self-employed owners working within city limits. We review each account and the business's activity so the annual license renewal is coordinated with the other filings. Morgantown municipal licensing and tax overview.
Reconcile local fee records with payroll
We compare the employee roster, hire and termination dates, work locations, payroll deductions, and city remittances. Owners who work in the business need to be considered as well as employees. A reconciliation helps identify missing people, duplicate deductions, and amounts withheld but not matched to a payment.
Estimate the full cost of added capacity
The staffing forecast includes compensation, employer costs, equipment, workspace, and the time needed to train a new hire. We compare those commitments with customer collections and existing overhead. Owners can then assess the reserve needed for a slower start and the revenue level that supports the position.
How we scope the work
We start with the decision or filing you need to complete, the entities and people involved, and the deadline. After reviewing the available records, we identify missing information and propose the services and deliverables. For ongoing work, we establish a close and filing calendar so bookkeeping, tax projections, and owner reporting use consistent information.
For a review or compilation request, bring the lender, grant, board, or regulatory requirement. We confirm the engagement type and applicable professional requirements before accepting the work. Audits of West Virginia-based entities require a West Virginia CPA firm permit, which KAS does not hold, so KAS does not accept those audit engagements. Review and compilation engagements for West Virginia entities are accepted where West Virginia rules allow.
