Rosales Tax
Tax Consultant Fairfield, CA
Running a business in Fairfield means dealing with more than just filing returns once a year. Last quarter, a restaurant owner on Texas Street called us in a panic - she'd been handling her own taxes and just realized she'd been missing deductions worth thousands. A contractor in Cordelia had been paying estimated taxes but wasn't planning ahead, so every April brought surprises he wasn't ready for.
That's where a tax consultant makes the difference. We're not just preparing returns - we're helping you make smarter decisions all year long. Whether you're figuring out the best business structure, planning for equipment purchases, or dealing with an IRS notice, having someone who knows tax strategy saves you money and stress.
At Rosales Tax, we work with businesses and families throughout Solano County. Our office at 219 Texas Street Suite C in downtown Fairfield serves everyone from solo entrepreneurs to established companies. We speak English and Spanish, and we're here year-round - not just during tax season.
Tax consulting means looking ahead, not just backward. It's about making choices today that reduce your tax bill tomorrow. And when problems come up - audits, notices, back taxes - you've got someone in your corner who knows how to handle it.

Tax Planning & Strategy
Most people think about taxes in April. Smart business owners think about them all year. That's what tax consulting does - it turns tax time from a scramble into a strategy.
Here's what year-round tax consulting looks like:
Quarterly check-ins to review your numbers and adjust estimated payments
Planning major purchases to maximize deductions
Choosing the right business structure (LLC, S-Corp, sole proprietor)
Timing income and expenses to reduce your tax bill
Setting up retirement plans that lower taxes now
A Fairfield retail shop owner came to us after three years of doing her own taxes. She'd been paying too much because she didn't know about inventory accounting methods. One consultation saved her $4,000 that year, and we've been working together ever since.
Tax planning isn't complicated - it just requires someone who knows the rules and thinks ahead. That's what a tax consultant does.
What this looks like
Real tax consulting means we're involved in your business decisions, not just your tax forms. When you're thinking about hiring someone, buying equipment, or expanding to a new location, we help you understand the tax impact before you commit.
A construction contractor in Solano County was about to buy a $60,000 truck. We showed him how Section 179 deduction and timing the purchase could save him $15,000 in taxes. That's the kind of advice that pays for itself many times over.
We also handle the problems nobody wants to deal with. IRS notices, audits, back taxes, penalties - these things happen, and they're scary if you're facing them alone. We've represented dozens of Fairfield businesses through audits and collections. Having someone who knows the process makes all the difference.
Local examples we see in Solano County:
Fairfield businesses face specific challenges. Restaurants deal with tip reporting and employee meals. Contractors juggle job costing and equipment depreciation. Retailers manage inventory and sales tax. Healthcare providers have unique deductions and compliance requirements.
We've worked with all of them. The Martinez family runs a restaurant in Suisun City - we help them with tip reporting, payroll taxes, and quarterly planning. A medical practice near NorthBay Healthcare uses us for equipment depreciation and retirement planning. Three contractors in Cordelia rely on us for job costing and estimated taxes.
Every business is different, but the goal is the same - pay what you owe, not a dollar more. And sleep better knowing someone's watching your numbers year-round.

FAQs
What's the difference between a tax preparer and a tax consultant?
A tax preparer files your returns based on what already happened. A tax consultant helps you make decisions throughout the year to reduce your taxes. We do both - prepare your returns and advise you on strategy. Most of our clients start with tax preparation and add consulting when they realize how much money proactive planning saves.
How much does tax consulting cost?
It depends on your situation. Some clients need quarterly check-ins, others want year-round access. We offer monthly advisory packages starting at $200/month for small businesses, or project-based consulting for specific situations. The first consultation is free - we'll review your situation and give you a clear price before you commit.
Do I need a tax consultant if I use accounting software?
Software is great for tracking numbers, but it doesn't give you strategy. It won't tell you when to buy equipment, how to structure your business, or what to do when you get an IRS notice. A tax consultant looks at your whole situation and helps you make smarter decisions. Think of software as your record-keeper and a consultant as your advisor.
Can you help if I'm already being audited?
Yes. We represent clients through IRS audits all the time. Even if the audit already started, we can step in and handle it from here. The sooner you bring us in, the better - but it's never too late to get help. We've taken over audits at every stage and helped clients reduce adjustments and penalties.
Do you work with businesses outside Fairfield?
Absolutely. We serve all of Solano County - Vacaville, Vallejo, Suisun City, and beyond. Many clients come from Vacaville (15 minutes) and Vallejo (20 minutes) because they want bilingual service and specialized expertise. We also offer virtual consultations for clients who prefer remote meetings.
Tax Consulting Services - Fairfield businesses get a clear plan
1. Simple process (no drama):
1. Free initial consultation - we review your situation
2. Clear proposal - you know exactly what you're getting and what it costs
5. Tax preparation - we file your returns with strategy already built in
6. Year-round access - call or email when questions come up
No surprises, no hidden fees. Just clear advice and proactive planning.
2. What to bring to your first meeting:
1. Last year's tax returns (business and personal)
2. Current year profit and loss statement
5. Questions about your specific situation
Don't have everything? That's fine. We'll work with what you have and figure out what else we need. The goal is to understand your situation and show you how consulting can help.
Pricing (straight talk)
Tax consulting isn't one-size-fits-all. A solo consultant needs different support than a restaurant with 15 employees.
The first consultation is always free. We'll review your situation, explain what you need, and give you a clear price. No pressure, no surprises.
Most clients find that good tax consulting pays for itself many times over. One smart decision - timing a purchase, choosing the right entity structure, catching a mistake before the IRS does - can save thousands.
