Accounting & Tax Services in Sandy, UT
Sandy occupies a prime position in the South Valley corridor between Salt Lake City and Provo, with easy access to both I-15 and the Wasatch Mountains. The city’s business district along State Street and the South Towne area hosts a mix of technology firms, retail centers, and professional services companies. Sandy has become a secondary hub within the Silicon Slopes ecosystem, attracting SaaS startups and fintech companies seeking lower office rents than downtown Salt Lake while staying close to venture capital networks and talent. The Shops at South Town and surrounding retail corridors support hundreds of small businesses, from franchise operators to independent retailers managing multi-location inventory and sales tax compliance. Sandy’s proximity to Big Cottonwood Canyon and Snowbird has also fostered a cluster of outdoor recreation companies, including gear manufacturers, guided tour operators, and e-commerce brands selling direct to consumers nationwide. SDO CPA serves Sandy business owners across technology, retail, and outdoor recreation with virtual tax preparation, monthly bookkeeping, and S-Corp optimization. We help tech founders document R&D activities for both federal and Utah credits, assist retailers with multi-state sales tax obligations, and structure entities for outdoor brands managing e-commerce revenue alongside local operations.
Utah Tax Planning Tip
Utah’s flat 4.65% income tax applies to all pass-through business income, but the state offers a nonrefundable R&D tax credit worth up to 5% of qualified research expenditures. S-Corp owners in Salt Lake City’s tech corridor should document software development activities throughout the year to maximize both federal and Utah R&D credits. Many Utah tech companies leave significant credits unclaimed because they don’t track qualifying activities in real time.
