Accounting & Tax Services in Madison, AL
Madison is one of Alabama’s fastest-growing cities, positioned directly west of Huntsville and deeply integrated into the Redstone Arsenal and NASA Marshall Space Flight Center aerospace ecosystem. The Town Madison development along I-565 has attracted hundreds of new businesses, while the established Madison Boulevard corridor houses engineering consultancies, defense subcontractors, and technology firms that serve Redstone Arsenal’s $20+ billion economic footprint. Major employers like Boeing, Raytheon, and Dynetics maintain facilities nearby, and hundreds of small engineering firms and cleared defense contractors operate from Madison’s business parks. The city’s Bradford Creek and Clift Farm commercial areas host growing medical practices, financial advisory firms, and professional services serving the metro’s highest-income demographic. SDO CPA works with Madison business owners across aerospace, defense contracting, and technology to structure entities for federal contract compliance, manage R&D tax credits on engineering projects, and optimize S-Corp reasonable compensation for high-earning defense consultants. For engineering firms and cleared contractors along the Research Park corridor, we provide monthly bookkeeping and fractional CFO services that meet federal accounting standards.
Alabama Tax Planning Tip
Alabama’s graduated income tax tops out at 5% on income over $3,000 (single) / $6,000 (married). S-Corp owners should evaluate the pass-through entity tax election (PTET) to work around the federal SALT deduction cap. Alabama also offers a unique federal income tax deduction on state returns — one of only three states allowing this.
