Bookkeeping and Taxes for the Trades.
Most trades owners overpay the IRS because nobody built them a plan. I build the plan, keep the books, and file the return — all virtual, so you never leave the job site for a meeting.
Hi, I'm Joseph.
Most tax preparers just file your return and move on. I built Civita to do more — real bookkeeping, real tax strategy, and a plan built around your business. My goal is simple: help you keep more of what you earn.
100% virtual. You never have to leave home or the job site for a meeting.
Stop Guessing What You Made. Run on Real Numbers.
Most contractors find out how the year went in March. That is too late. With monthly books, you know your real profit all year. So when it is time to hire, buy a truck, or raise your rates, you decide with a number instead of a guess. We work with plumbers, electricians, HVAC contractors, landscapers, painters, and other trades businesses.
QuickBooks Setup
Best for businesses new to QuickBooks, or starting over. See what setup includes →
- Your categories set up for your trade, not a generic list
- Your bank, card, and payment accounts connected
- Your starting balances checked against real statements
- Sales tax you collect kept out of your income
- Your first month done right, as the model for the rest
Catch-Up Bookkeeping
Best for businesses months or years behind. Your price depends on how far back we go and how big your books are. $1,000 minimum.
- Every charge checked and fixed
- Every account matched to your statements
- Your books brought up to date and ready to file
- We tell you how long it will take in 3 business days
- Then we keep them up every month
Monthly Bookkeeping
Best for businesses that want it kept right every month. Your price depends on your size.
- Every charge sorted, every account matched
- Your numbers sent within 15 business days
- Materials and labor kept separate
- Your 1099 subs tracked all year
- Books kept by the Enrolled Agent who files your taxes
Your monthly price comes from two things: how many accounts we match, and how many charges run through them. We count both from three months of your statements before we price you, so the number you get is the number you pay. See full pricing & FAQ →

Real Results. Real Peace of Mind.
“This was the first time I felt completely confident that my taxes were done right.”
If you own a small business, I definitely recommend Civita Tax Solutions. I've been running my handywoman business for years, and this was the first time I felt completely confident that my taxes were done right. They were friendly, easy to work with, and really took the time to find deductions that saved me a significant amount on my self-employment taxes. It's not often you find a tax team that genuinely cares about supporting local entrepreneurs.
“I would definitely recommend him, and will continue to use him myself.”
I don't normally write reviews. But I just wanted to let Joseph know I was very happy with the results and patience he had in doing my taxes. I'm self employed contractor and I'm terrible with paperwork. I would definitely recommend him, and will continue to use him myself. God bless Joseph and Civita tax Solutions
“Professional, knowledgeable, and always responsive.”
If you've been looking around for a new “tax guy”, look no further! I can't recommend Joseph enough. He made the entire tax planning process simple, and easy to understand. Not only did he help me stay organized, but he also found strategies to save me a significant amount of money. Professional, knowledgeable, and always responsive — exactly what you want when it comes to taxes. If you're looking for someone who truly knows their stuff and looks out for your best interests, Civita Tax Solutions is the way to go!
“Everything was done virtually, so I didn't have to drive during rush hour anywhere.”
Great experience with Civita Tax Solutions. I filed my taxes with Joseph. Everything was done virtually, so I didn't have to drive during rush hour anywhere. Joseph was really good at explaining tax law. He's also an enrolled agent so I trust him with my taxes. Will file with them again next year.
“Fantastic support!”
Fantastic support! Joseph is awesome. He explained the tax filing process and offered great advice to save on taxes for next year as an investor.
