ABOUT ACCOUNTING ADVANTAGE LLC

Advisory-First Accounting & Tax Services in Wisconsin Rapids

Accounting Advantage LLC is a Wisconsin Rapids–based CPA firm providing tax preparation, bookkeeping, payroll, and advisory services to businesses and individuals across Central Wisconsin, including Stevens Point, Marshfield, and Wausau.

We serve clients who want fewer surprises, clearer answers, and year-round support — not just a once-a-year tax return.

While many accounting firms focus only on filing after the year ends, we work proactively throughout the year to help clients reduce tax exposure, improve cash flow, and make confident financial decisions before issues arise.

OUR PROCESS

UNDERSTAND YOUR WISCONSIN TAX SITUATION

We review your income sources, prior returns, and life changes with Wisconsin-specific considerations in mind. This includes W-2 and 1099 income, self-employment, rental properties, investments, and Wisconsin and multi-state filing requirements.

PREPARE AND REVIEW YOUR INDIVIDUAL TAX RETURN

We prepare your Wisconsin and federal individual tax returns with careful attention to deductions, credits, and compliance. Before filing, we walk you through the results so you understand your tax position and next steps.

FILE, RESPOND, AND PLAN AHEAD

After filing, we remain available to support you with IRS or Wisconsin Department of Revenue notices and help you plan ahead with estimated taxes, withholding adjustments, and strategies to reduce future tax liability.

COMMON INDIVIDUAL TAX ISSUES WE FIX

Many personal tax problems come from rushed preparation or working with firms that don’t understand Wisconsin-specific requirements. We help bring structure and clarity to your filings.

Underreported or Misreported Income
We help Stevens Point and Wisconsin Rapids taxpayers correctly report all income sources to reduce IRS and Wisconsin DOR notices, penalties, and amended returns.

Missed Wisconsin Deductions and Credits
When returns are prepared without local context, valuable Wisconsin-specific deductions and credits are often overlooked. We take a complete view to ensure accuracy.

Unexpected Tax Bills
Surprise balances due often result from poor planning. We help you understand what happened—and how to prevent it in future tax years.
