Accounting & Tax Services in Denver, CO
Denver’s technology sector has exploded with venture capital investment reaching $5.2 billion in 2024, creating a thriving ecosystem of startups in RiNo, LoDo, and the Denver Tech Center. The city’s business owners navigate Colorado’s 4.4% flat income tax alongside Denver’s 4.81% sales tax rate—one of Colorado’s many home-rule jurisdictions requiring separate filing. Denver-based SaaS companies face complex nexus questions as remote employees work from California, Texas, and New York, triggering multi-state tax obligations. Cannabis businesses in Denver’s licensed dispensaries and cultivation facilities deal with IRC 280E limitations preventing normal business deductions. SDO CPA serves Denver entrepreneurs with expertise in startup equity compensation planning, multi-state nexus analysis for remote-first companies, R&D credit documentation for fintech and healthtech ventures, and partnership tax planning for Denver’s booming real estate development market.

Colorado Tax Planning Tip
Colorado’s flat 4.4% income tax rate applies to both individuals and corporations equally. For S-Corp owners, pass-through income is taxed at this flat rate with no brackets to worry about. However, Colorado’s patchwork of local sales tax jurisdictions — over 70 home-rule cities with their own rates — makes sales tax compliance complex. Use Colorado’s Sales & Use Tax System (SUTS) to simplify multi-jurisdiction filing.
