Accounting & Tax Services in Augusta, GA
Augusta’s economy centers on Fort Eisenhower (formerly Fort Gordon), home to the U.S. Army Cyber Command and the Cyber Center of Excellence, which together support over 30,000 military and civilian personnel. The $100+ million Georgia Cyber Center on Reynolds Street in downtown Augusta has established the city as the nation’s largest dedicated cybersecurity training facility, attracting defense contractors and tech startups to the Broad Street business corridor.
Government contractors in the Central Savannah River Area face unique accounting requirements including DCAA compliance, FAR-compliant indirect cost rate structures, and incurred cost submissions. Georgia’s 5.49% top income tax rate applies to contractor profits, and businesses with multi-state government contracts must track nexus obligations carefully. Augusta University Health, with 8,000+ employees, anchors the region’s healthcare sector and generates demand for medical practice accounting services.
SDO CPA works with Augusta cybersecurity contractors, healthcare practices, and professional services firms to maintain DCAA-compliant accounting systems, optimize S-Corp reasonable compensation for government contractor owners, and manage Georgia state tax obligations alongside federal contract requirements. For businesses near the Georgia Cyber Center or along the Washington Road commercial corridor, we provide monthly bookkeeping and fractional CFO services designed for contract-based revenue cycles.
Georgia Tax Planning Tip
Georgia’s graduated income tax tops out at 5.49% for income above $10,000. S-Corp owners should calculate whether Georgia’s pass-through entity tax election (PTET) provides a federal deduction that offsets the SALT cap. For businesses generating $200K+ in Georgia-source income, the PTET election can save $5,000-$15,000 annually.
