Accounting & bookkeeping
Monthly closes, payroll, and a custom owner dashboard — P&L, cash, expenses, vendors, and jobs — so you can see the business, not just the return.
For small business owners
Accounting you can run the business from.
1822 Business Consulting LLC keeps the books for small businesses — then puts the P&L, cash, payroll, and jobs on a dashboard you can actually use.
- Built for small business owners
- Secure document portal
- S-corps & shops
- IRS notice support
- Franklin, NC
What we do
Books first. Dashboard included. Tax when you need it.
For owners who outgrew a shoebox and a tax-season scramble. Accounting includes a custom dashboard that looks like your company — P&L, cash, payroll, vendors, and jobs.
Tax preparation
Individual, 1099, S-corp, and partnership returns with a named preparer and a review before e-file.
Business consulting
Cash-flow, pricing, entity choice, and operating cadence for owners who need a sounding board, not a slide deck.
Tax planning
Quarterly estimates, withholding strategy, retirement contributions, and year-end moves before December closes.
IRS & state notices
We read the letter with you, gather the file, and handle the response so a notice does not become a crisis.
Catch-up & cleanup
Unfiled years, messy books, and a practical plan to get current without pretending the backlog is simple.
Federal snapshot
See the direction of your 2026 return
A lightweight federal estimate using standard deduction and 2026 brackets. Useful for a conversation — not a substitute for prep.

How it works
A process that stays predictable
No mystery status emails. You always know what we need, who owns the file, and what happens next.
- 01
Short intake
Tell us whether you need books, tax, or advisory. We confirm fit and send a document list the same day.
- 02
Secure upload
Drop statements, W-2s, and prior-year PDFs into a portal. No attachments in open email.
- 03
Work the file
We prepare, close the books, or scope the engagement — then walk the work with you before anything files.
- 04
Stay on cadence
Accepted returns, monthly accounting, and a planning note so next quarter is quieter than the last.

You work with the people who own the firm.

Dylan Castle
Dylan graduated in 2016 and spent several years on the leadership team of a church and Christian school. In 2020, he became a foreman for a local business—this gave him a deeper understanding of management and operation—which equipped him to become self employed by 2023. In 2026, Dylan was ready to apply the full range of the skills and talents he had acquired over the last decade with 1822 Business Consulting.

Christie Castle
Christie earned degrees in Business Finance and Business Management in 2015. For nearly a decade she has handled bookkeeping, accounting, and tax processing for small businesses — the same work she now leads at 1822, from the monthly close through the return.
Season note
Don’t wait for the April crunch
Planning and consulting conversations close in December. Extension, catch-up, and complex-return slots fill first. Book intake now even if documents are still arriving.
Questions
Straight answers
How do clients log in?
We’ll send you the dashboard login page after intake. Use the email and password issued then. The Sample Dashboard is a public walkthrough of the same kind of P&L view, without opening a live file.
Who actually does the work?
Dylan and Christie Castle. 1822 is their LLC: accounting and tax sit with the owners who took your consult, not a pool of seasonal preparers.
Do you only work during tax season?
No. Tax prep peaks in spring, but bookkeeping, monthly closes, consulting, notices, and estimated payments happen all year.
Can I stay remote?
Yes. We are based in Franklin, NC and work remote nationwide. Meetings are video or phone. Documents should move through an encrypted portal — never this public form.
How are fees set?
Simple individual returns use starting fees. Accounting retainers, consulting projects, multi-state, and catch-up work are quoted after intake so the scope is honest.
Do you work with existing bookkeepers or software?
Yes. We can take over the books, review what you already run in QuickBooks or similar, or sit alongside an in-house person.
