Corvane Ashmoor & Co. Help 1099 earners run like a business.

Paid on a 1099? Step one is separation. Every business dollar runs through its own account.

Receipts are saved digitally and mileage is logged as you drive.

Estimated tax dates go on your calendar, with your numbers ready for your CPA.

At year end, your CPA gets one organized package.

We organize. Your CPA advises. You run your work like a business. Start an inquiry at corvaneashmoor.com.

What we hear

Taxes surprise me every April.

No estimated payments and no records means one painful bill a year.

My receipts are in a shoebox.

Lost receipts and untracked mileage are deductions left on the table.

I invoice from my phone notes.

Inconsistent invoices make getting paid slower and look less professional.

Should I have an LLC?

The question stays open for years because nobody organizes the facts for the answer.

Common questions

Asked by independent contractors and 1099 workers.

All questions →

Do you prepare tax returns?

We are not CPAs. We organize your records so your CPA's work is faster, and we track estimated-tax dates.

Is an LLC right for me?

That is a decision for your attorney or CPA. We handle the filings and setup once you decide.

I'm paid on a 1099 by more than one company. Can you help?

Yes. We organize income from every payer, match it to your 1099s and track expenses against it for your CPA.

Do I really need to track mileage?

Mileage records support deductions; your CPA can tell you what applies. We make the tracking simple.

How much should I set aside for taxes?

That is a question for your CPA. We organize the numbers so they can answer it quickly.
