The person behind the work
The person guiding the work should be visible before the first meeting.
Garnett & Gold is Monica Hodgson’s practice. Work is delivered from the firm’s office at 3900 Market Street, Suite 210 in downtown Riverside, and clients deal with a named professional rather than an anonymous processing company.
The firm’s published focus is tax preparation, tax planning, accounting and bookkeeping, and business entity formation for small business owners — with IRS representation handled as its own discipline.
Monica’s full biography, professional background, Enrolled Agent status, other credentials, and memberships are reserved for her approved copy. Nothing has been written on her behalf.

The financial picture beneath the return
The filing is only as dependable as what happened before it.
Accounting Keeps the Record Current
Bookkeeping, reconciliations, financial reporting, and organized records.
Tax Applies the Rules
Individual and business preparation, S corporation filings, partnership filings, nonprofit obligations, and other verified returns.
Planning Prepares the Next Move
Estimated payments, owner decisions, entity considerations, year-end planning, and upcoming changes.
Each stage depends on the one before it. Records that stay current make the rules easier to apply, and applying them early is what keeps choices available.
Built for specific responsibilities
Different entities create different questions.
S Corporations
Bookkeeping quality, owner compensation, payroll coordination, estimated payments, distributions, and shareholder activity all feed the same return. Form 1120-S preparation is offered where the engagement supports it.
Read morePartnerships
Partner information, ownership changes, capital activity, allocations, and records determine what each K-1 says. Form 1065 preparation is offered where the engagement supports it.
Read moreNonprofits
Bookkeeping, reporting, governance-related financial information, and tax-exempt responsibilities carry their own calendar. Nonprofit return support is confirmed engagement by engagement.
Read moreOne relationship across the financial work
Your bookkeeper and tax professional should not be reconstructing the business every filing season.
When monthly records, the business return, the owner’s individual picture, and planning conversations run through the same relationship, nothing has to be explained twice and far less has to be rebuilt in March.
Keep the Books Usable
Records that support reporting, filing, and decisions.
Meet the Obligations
Entity-specific tax preparation and compliance.
Plan While Options Remain
Conversations before deadlines eliminate available choices.
Which parts of this work are performed in-house and which are coordinated with outside professionals is to be confirmed before launch.
