The problem you can see
Estimated payments, payroll filings, 1099s, the return itself. While you're running crews and chasing jobs, the tax calendar keeps ticking — and falling behind costs real money in penalties.
The problem you feel
That low-grade dread when you think about your taxes. The fear of missing deductions you've earned — or of making a mistake that comes back to bite you years later.
What we believe
You shouldn't have to overpay, stress, or become a tax expert just to keep what your business earned. The rules should work for you — and with the right guide, they do.

I'm Kyle Castle, a QuickBooks Online ProAdvisor and the owner of Coastal Trust Business Advisors. Before I did this work, I spent 13 years on the lending and banking side of small business — reviewing financials and approving, or declining, the loans behind companies like yours. I've seen exactly what happens when a business owner's numbers are a mess, and exactly what a clean, well-run back office can unlock.
I work with HVAC, landscaping, painting, plumbing, and other trade business owners — the people whose tax situation is messier than a W-2 employee's and who deserve a preparer who actually understands job costing, equipment, crew classification, and seasonal cash flow.
You're the expert at your trade. My job is to make sure the tax side never becomes the reason a good business struggles. I bring the map — you drive the business.
With a guide
Going it alone (or with the wrong preparer)
Depends on your return's complexity — a single-member LLC with clean books is different from an S-corp with crews and equipment. The first call is free, and I'll give you a clear, flat quote before any work starts. No hourly surprises.
No — honestly, that's most first calls. Cleaning up messy books before the return is part of the work, not a reason to judge. Bring me the shoebox; I've seen worse.
Yes. We'll get you compliant, deal with what's owed, and set up a plan so it doesn't happen again. The best time to fix it was last year; the second best is today.
Yes — but trades are where I'm most useful, because I already speak your language: job costing, crew classification, equipment, and seasonal cash flow.
Really free, really 30 minutes. We'll look at where you stand and I'll tell you plainly whether I can help and what it would cost. If I'm not the right fit, I'll tell you that too.
