Sarah D. Bishop, CPA — tax prep, bookkeeping, and straight small-business advice for Kansans who'd rather not be a number at a chain.
"I believe tax season shouldn't be stressful — and that good accounting is a relationship, not a transaction."
Most clients start with one service and grow from there. That's fine. Start with what's urgent.
Federal and Kansas state returns. W-2, 1099, schedule C, rental property, investments, HSA — if it's on a form, I've filed it.
S-corps, partnerships, LLCs, sole props. I file your 1120-S, 1065, or Schedule C and make sure your K-1s land right on your personal return.
Monthly books, reconciliations, financial statements, and a real human who responds to your QuickBooks questions within 24 hours.
Brand-new to QuickBooks? Or inherited a mess? I'll set you up right, train your team, and clean up the chart of accounts so your books actually tell you something.
Letter from the IRS? Back taxes? Audit? Don't panic, and don't ignore it. Call me first — I've walked clients through every flavor of IRS correspondence.
Don't find out you owe in April. Quarterly planning sessions so you can make real decisions — about your salary, your SEP-IRA, your entity structure.
Most of my clients are in one of four buckets.
Clean W-2 returns, investment income, rental property, or just someone who wants it done right.
1099 contractors, Etsy sellers, consultants, and solo practitioners with Schedule C income.
Growing small businesses — restaurants, service trades, retail. I handle entity returns and keep your books.
Landlords with 1–20 doors. Cost segs, 1031s, passive loss rules — I know where the deductions live.
At a chain, you're assigned to a junior preparer. At my practice, you work with me — every year, every question, every return.
I keep my client list small on purpose. That's the whole point.
I opened my practice in Derby because the Wichita metro needed more options for small business owners — people who wanted a CPA who'd actually pick up the phone.
My promise is simple: clear communication, honest pricing, and the same CPA every year. No junior staff handoffs, no last-minute surprises, no form letters.
Most new clients are onboarded in under a week. I handle the document transfer, the e-file authorization, and the awkward email to your old preparer.
