About Us

Are you looking for an accountant in the Northern New Jersey area who will provide quality services and give you the personal attention you desire? Then look no further, now that you've found Brian Lehrhoff, Enrolled Agent.

When my company was formed in 1980, the goal was to offer individuals and businesses a quality alternative to larger accounting firms. The focus is to provide tax and accounting services, including tax planning and tax return preparation, auditing, and bookkeeping. I pride myself on delivering affordable services in a timely manner with a personal touch. Many of my clients require multiple state tax returns and have special needs such as a rental property, investments and self-employment. I prepare returns for all states and entities – sole proprietor, partnership, LLC and corporation. I prepare NJ Estate and Inheritance Tax returns for you if they are required.

My firm focuses on developing relationships with individuals and small to mid sized businesses. Not like some of the popular seasonal tax return mills, we are here to serve you all year long.

Services include but are not limited to:

Tax Services & Preparation
Accounting Services
NJ & NY Estate Tax and Inheritance Returns
Expatriot Returns
IRS and State/Local Representation
Payroll - I can sell you your existing ADP payroll service at a discount. Or replace Paychex with ADP at the same discounted price.
QuickBooks – sales, support and service

We are in "business as normal" mode for filings.  People with refunds need that money now.  If they have a balance, they always can file now and pay on 7/15.  Payroll and sales tax returns have to be filed.  Extended corporation and partnership returns can be prepared and filed.  The 4/15 return...

In these uncertain times, we still need to carry on until we hear otherwise to get all of the tax returns, payroll and sales tax taken care of.  Fortunately most of my business is virtual, and I can serve all of this "remotely."  In the meantime, we still need to provide services and make sure...

Motivating change.  No one wants to change, they like their old sneakers and comfortable sweaters.  I can get you organized but you'll initially have to do more work to get the process running smoothly.  I can save you money, but you need to take a leap of faith.  For example - payroll processing...

We sell ADP.  It's reliable, it's flexible.  It's very cost competitive.  I can get your hours in by Thursday if necessary for Friday.  We do 100% paperless, including direct deposit.  And you deal with me - by email, fax, text message, phone call - rather than them for any issues.  Why don't you...

100% of my users are QBD users - not QBE and not QBO.  We can't find a compelling reason to switch.  The three products are very different.  And QBM?  I've got one that came into my office and had to bring her macbook because she couldn't send an accountant's copy.  And the mousepad doesn't work...

What is a bad client?  A poor or slow payer?  A time waster?  A poor document accumulator?  Slow to deliver documents?  Generally, in my 39th year of practice, I don't have time for clients that don't pay and / or waste my time.  (more) What is a bad client?  A poor or slow payer?  A time waster?  A poor document accumulator?  Slow to deliver documents?  Generally, in my 39th year of practice, I don't have time for clients that don't pay and / or waste my time.
