Small Business Tax Specialists

Your business growth, empowered.

We help service professionals and small business owners stop worrying about taxes and start focusing on what they do best — with proactive strategy, not just annual filing.

Let’s Talk!
You started a business, not an accounting department
Whether you’re a consultant, freelancer, or growing service company, the tax side of running a business can feel overwhelming. It doesn’t have to be.

Estimated Tax Anxiety

Not knowing how much to set aside each quarter — or getting hit with underpayment penalties — is one of the most common stressors for self-employed professionals.

Outgrowing Your Structure

What worked as a sole proprietor doesn’t always work as you grow. Many service businesses are paying thousands more in taxes than they need to because they haven’t revisited their entity type.

Messy or Missing Books

Between client work and running your business, bookkeeping tends to fall to the bottom of the list. Come tax time, it’s a scramble to piece things together.

Missed Deductions

Home office, vehicle expenses, retirement contributions, health insurance — there are deductions available to service professionals that many tax professionals don’t proactively flag.

Tax and accounting built for service businesses
We work with consultants, freelancers, agencies, and service companies at every stage — from side hustle to established business.

Tax Preparation & Planning

Not just a once-a-year filing — we sit down with you proactively to plan for the year ahead. You’ll never be caught off guard by a tax bill again.

Entity Selection & S-Corp Election

We run the numbers to determine whether a sole proprietorship, C-Corp, or S-Corp makes the most sense for your situation — and show you exactly how much each option saves. Many clients save thousands just from this one change.

Quarterly Estimated Taxes

We calculate accurate quarterly payments based on your actual income patterns, so you’re never over-paying (tying up cash) or under-paying (racking up penalties).

Bookkeeping & Financial Clarity

Clean, current books that give you a real picture of profitability — reviewed by an expert who catches tax-saving opportunities in every transaction.

Retirement Plan Strategy

SEP IRA, Solo 401(k), SIMPLE IRA — we help you choose the right retirement vehicle and maximize contributions to reduce your taxable income.

Outsourced CFO Consulting

As you scale, you need financial strategy beyond basic accounting. We provide advisory-level guidance on profitability, pricing, cash flow, and growth — at a fraction of hiring internally.

What we’ve done for service businesses like yours
Every business is different, but the pattern is the same: proactive strategy beats reactive filing, every time.

Entity Restructuring

Restructured entity setups for multiple service professionals, saving thousands in self-employment taxes through S-Corp elections they didn’t know were available to them.

Bookkeeping Overhaul

Took clients from shoebox receipts and spreadsheets to clean, organized books that provide real-time financial visibility and catch every available deduction.

Proactive Tax Planning

Replaced reactive, last-minute filing with year-round planning — eliminating estimated tax penalties and giving business owners predictable, manageable tax obligations.

Carter Flemmer, CPA
Founder · Master of Taxation, Baylor University · Former PwC

I started Empower because I’m a small business owner too — and I know firsthand what it’s like to wear every hat. My goal is to be the kind of CPA I’d want for my own business: proactive, straight-talking, and always in your corner. I also work with local wealth managers so your tax strategy and investment strategy are actually pulling in the same direction.
