Accounting & Tax Services in Manchester, NH
Manchester is New Hampshire’s largest city and the economic engine of the Granite State, with over 5,200 businesses and a thriving technology sector centered in the historic Millyard district. Once the world’s largest textile manufacturing complex, the Millyard now houses tech companies like Autodesk, DEKA Research, and dozens of startups attracted by the no-income-tax advantage and proximity to Boston just 55 miles south. The city’s biofabrication cluster, led by DEKA and emerging biotech firms, has drawn national attention. Elliot Hospital and Catholic Medical Center anchor a healthcare sector employing over 8,000 workers. Manchester-Boston Regional Airport provides direct flights to major business hubs. The city’s median household income of $81,007 reflects a growing professional workforce, and home prices jumped 15.4% recently, signaling strong demand. SDO CPA helps Manchester business owners structure tech company finances for R&D tax credits, optimize the salary-distribution balance to minimize Business Profits Tax, and plan equity compensation packages for startups recruiting competitive talent.
New Hampshire Tax Planning Tip
New Hampshire eliminated its Interest & Dividends tax in 2025, meaning there’s now zero state tax on personal wages, interest, and dividends. However, businesses still face the 7.5% Business Profits Tax on net income over $75,000 and the 0.55% Business Enterprise Tax on the enterprise value tax base. For S-Corp owners, optimizing the balance between salary (not state-taxed) and business profits (state-taxed at 7.5%) is critical to minimizing your combined tax burden.
