Accounting & Tax Services in Omaha, NE

Omaha punches far above its weight as a financial powerhouse. Home to four Fortune 500 companies including Berkshire Hathaway, Union Pacific, Mutual of Omaha, and Kiewit, the city employs one in twelve workers in finance and insurance at double the national rate. Douglas County led all large U.S. counties in GDP growth at 9.2% in 2022, driven by financial services expansion and a thriving fintech ecosystem that traces its roots to First Data’s origins here.

Nebraska’s graduated state income tax applies to both individuals and corporations, requiring careful entity structuring for Omaha’s many pass-through business owners. S-Corp owners in the Midtown Crossing and Old Market business districts face nexus considerations when selling into neighboring Iowa and across state lines. Omaha’s position as a central logistics hub with Union Pacific headquarters and major distribution operations means many local businesses ship goods nationwide, creating multi-state sales tax obligations.

SDO CPA works with Omaha business owners across financial services, insurance, construction, and healthcare to structure entities, optimize S-Corp reasonable compensation, and manage the interplay between federal and Nebraska state tax obligations. For fintech startups in the downtown corridor or established insurance agencies along Dodge Street, we provide monthly bookkeeping and fractional CFO services scaled to your stage of growth.

Nebraska Tax Planning Tip

Nebraska imposes graduated state income tax on both individuals and corporations, with top individual rates reaching 6.64% and corporate rates at 7.25% on income over $100,000. S-Corp and partnership owners should analyze whether pass-through income creates a lower combined tax burden than C-Corp status. Nebraska also offers the Nebraska Advantage Act with tax credits for businesses investing $1 million+ and creating 10+ jobs, which can significantly offset state tax liability for qualifying Omaha companies.

Omaha is home to over 45,000 small businesses and a population of 486,051. From Financial Services, Insurance, Construction to professional services, Omaha business owners need CPAs who understand sophisticated entity structures for finance companies and can provide year-round tax planning — not just compliance.
