Fort Collins
Year-round numbers help for Northern Colorado businesses.
Fort Collins, Colorado
Northern Colorado numbers, handled
Fort Collins is its own economy — breweries and makers, CSU spinouts, manufacturers, and a downtown full of independent shops. We’ve worked with Northern Colorado businesses since 2017, and we know the rhythms that come with it.
Whether you’re scaling a taproom in Old Town, running a shop on College Ave, or managing a manufacturer off Harmony, we keep your books current and your Colorado taxes planned — without making you drive to Denver for it.

Clients
What Fort Collins business owners say
"Flat monthly pricing means I never get a surprise invoice. They feel like part of the team, not a vendor I dread calling."
Eli Sorensen
Founder, Wash Park Coffee Bar
"I came in dreading a lecture about my messy spreadsheets. Instead I got a clear plan and zero judgment. Genuinely a relief."
Karen Whitfield
Owner, Highlands Pet Care
"The fractional CFO work changed how we price jobs. We finally know which projects actually make money and which ones just keep us busy."
Daniel Cho
Managing Partner, Cherry Creek Design Studio
"Switching felt risky, but they had two years of catch-up done in weeks. Now I get a same-day answer instead of radio silence."
Jess Alvarado
Owner, Baker District Bakery
"They set up our books and payroll the right way from day one. When the state sent a notice, they handled it before I even worried about it."
Priya Raman
Co-owner, Front Range Pediatric PT
"We went from scrambling every April to a monthly call where I actually understand the numbers. The quarterly tax planning alone paid for the year."
Marcus Donnelly
Founder, RiNo Print Co.

Questions
Answers before you ask
Is this a once-a-year thing or year-round?+
Year-round. The whole point of Front Range Ledger is that you have a partner in Q2 and Q3 — when the decisions that affect your tax bill actually get made — not just a preparer in April.
Do you only work with Denver businesses?+
We are based in Denver and serve small businesses across the Front Range and all of Colorado. Most of our work happens remotely, with in-person meetings when you want them.
Can you help me catch up on past-due books or taxes?+
Yes. Cleanup and back-filing are some of our most common first projects. We will get you current, then keep you that way — no judgment about how far behind things got.
What's the difference between bookkeeping and tax prep?+
Bookkeeping keeps your day-to-day records accurate and current; tax prep uses those records to file your returns and lower what you owe. We do both, which is why nothing falls through the cracks at year-end.
What does it cost to work with you?+
Most clients are on a flat monthly plan so there are no surprise invoices. Bookkeeping starts at $350/mo and tax-and-advisory packages are quoted to your business. You get a fixed price in writing before any work begins.
