Columbus CPA Firm for S-Corps & Small Businesses

Accounting & Tax Services in Columbus, NE

Columbus is the Platte County seat and a growing manufacturing and agricultural hub at the confluence of the Loup and Platte Rivers in east central Nebraska, supporting over 1,100 businesses. Behlen Manufacturing, one of America’s largest steel building manufacturers, is headquartered in Columbus and employs hundreds of workers producing grain storage systems, livestock equipment, and commercial buildings. BD (Becton, Dickinson and Company) operates a medical device manufacturing facility in Columbus that has expanded multiple times, creating supply chain demand for local contractors and service providers. The city’s ethanol industry includes ADM Columbus and nearby biofuel operations that convert locally grown corn into renewable fuel, requiring specialized commodity accounting and renewable energy tax credit tracking. Columbus’s agricultural base extends across the fertile Platte River valley, where irrigated corn, soybean, and cattle operations generate significant seasonal income that demands careful tax planning. The 13th Street and 23rd Street commercial corridors host retail shops, restaurants, and professional service firms serving the community. SDO CPA works with Columbus manufacturers, ethanol producers, and agricultural operators to manage commodity accounting, track renewable energy credits, and structure entities for Nebraska’s graduated income tax rates. We provide monthly bookkeeping that coordinates manufacturing production costs with agricultural commodity positions to give you a clear financial picture year-round.
