Accountants in Colorado Springs

Our CPA firm helps businesses like yours and individuals like you experience enhanced prosperity.

Our accounting firm believes the best advice contemplates the fundamental needs of our clients.

When we ask enough of the right questions, we consistently uncover the right answers. Our clients have the same hopes, fears, needs and desires for security that we all have. When someone says they want better financial reporting, primarily they want more certainty about the results of their business. Financial stress is often rooted in uncertainty and a perceived lack of control. We view providing the right financial reporting as stress relief through controlling uncertainty.

The same applies to income taxes. Making sure our clients are informed about tax opportunities and the amounts they can expect to pay serves to reduce uncertainty and stress.

accountantsIn many cases, our clients want to spend less time in their businesses. This is time freed up for family, leisure and the more satisfying aspects of life. If this is what a client seeks from a relationship with SSA, P.C. we help identify the paths that allow the business or personal financial plan to provide the monetary assets needed.

Clients tell us they find great value in this approach. When focus changes from just numeric results to personal results, satisfaction levels soar. Our clients are some of the most financially successful organizations and individuals in the Pikes Peak region; can we add you to that list?

The FUTA tax rate (before the state credit of 5.4%) was 6.2% from January 1 through June 30, 2011 and decreased to 6.0% July 1 through December 31, 2011. The IRS has already released a corrected Form 940 to reflect the breakdown for the first half of the year to the second half of the year. Please be careful if you use a software program that prepares your Form 940, as the software may not be updated for the mid-year decrease.
Temporary Payroll Tax Cut Continuation Act of 2011
The Temporary Payroll Tax Cut Continuation Act of 2011 temporarily extends the two percentage point payroll tax cut for employees, continuing the reduction of their Social Security tax withholding rate from 6.2 percent to 4.2 percent of wages paid through February 29, 2012. This reduced Social Security withholding will have no effect on the employees' future Social Security Benefits.
