What we solve

The traps that catch carriers

The reconciliation and timing gaps that cost carriers real money.

1
IFTA & fuel reconciliation
Multi-state miles and fuel that must tie out, or invite penalties and audits.
2
Brutal cash flow
Fuel and payroll go out long before the freight bills actually get paid.
3
Equipment timing
Section 179 vs. bonus depreciation on a new truck is a big, easy-to-miss decision.
4
Per diem & records
Per diem and deductions only count when the logs and records back them up.

The difference

We do things differently than most accountants.

What you’re used to
IFTA and fuel that never quite tie out
Fuel and payroll going out before freight bills land
A new-truck purchase with no depreciation plan
Per diem claimed without records that hold up
A generalist who has never filed IFTA
With Thompson Flaherty

A CPA who knows owner-operators and fleets
