Accounting & Tax Services in Fayetteville, NC

Fayetteville is defined by its relationship with Fort Liberty (formerly Fort Bragg), the largest military installation by population in the United States. The base generates over $10 billion in annual economic impact, supporting a dense network of defense contractors, veteran-owned businesses, and military-adjacent service providers along Yadkin Road, Skibo Road, and the Bragg Boulevard corridor. Cape Fear Valley Health System employs over 8,000 people as the region’s largest non-military employer, while government agencies and military support organizations fill the downtown Hay Street district. Fayetteville’s business community includes a significant concentration of military spouse entrepreneurs who launch businesses that move with them across duty stations, creating unique multi-state tax filing challenges. Defense contractors working on Fort Liberty projects must maintain DCAA-compliant accounting and navigate government contract billing requirements. SDO CPA serves Fayetteville business owners in defense contracting, healthcare, and military-adjacent services with expertise in government contract accounting, multi-state filing for relocating military families, and S-Corp structuring optimized for North Carolina’s declining corporate tax rate. For contractors managing cost-plus billing or military spouse business owners tracking revenue across multiple PCS assignments, we provide bookkeeping and fractional CFO services scaled to the military economy’s cadence.

North Carolina Tax Planning Tip

North Carolina’s corporate income tax is 2.5% in 2026 and is scheduled to reach 0% by 2030. Charlotte business owners should plan entity structures now to take advantage of the declining rate. S-Corp owners with multi-state clients should also analyze nexus exposure, as North Carolina’s economic nexus thresholds apply to out-of-state sellers with $100,000+ in sales or 200+ transactions in the state.

Fayetteville is home to 8,400+ small businesses and a population of 209,749. From Military (Fort Liberty), Healthcare, Government to professional services, Fayetteville business owners need CPAs who understand Military spouse-owned businesses facing frequent relocations and multi-state tax filing obligations from PCS moves and can provide year-round tax planning — not just compliance.
