About High Velocity Accounting

High Velocity Accounting is a CPA firm built for the trades. We handle bookkeeping, income tax, and managerial accounting for HVAC, electrical, plumbing, and mechanical contractors and home services companies across the United States. Our clients run crews, trucks, and service boards, and they need books that keep pace with the work instead of arriving three months late. We live inside QuickBooks Online, ServiceTitan, and Housecall Pro, so job costing, department margins, and technician profitability come out of the same system your dispatchers already use. Most owners come to us somewhere between their first million and five million in sales, when a bookkeeper who works off bank statements stops being enough and the numbers have to start driving decisions about pricing, hiring, and expansion.

Brett Neal, CPA started the firm in 2013 after watching the same pattern repeat with contractors: an owner would get a return back in March with a number on it, ask what it meant, and get an answer that explained the number without explaining the decision. Seasha Neal, CPA joined as partner and brought the tax planning practice with her. The team is four accountants today, and the founding idea has not changed.

We work almost entirely with HVAC, electrical, plumbing, and mechanical contractors and home services companies, most of them between their first million and $5 million in sales. That concentration is deliberate. A firm that has closed the books for dozens of service businesses knows things about deferred membership revenue, technician-level gross margin, truck and equipment fleets, and getting ServiceTitan or Housecall Pro data into QuickBooks Online cleanly that a generalist has to look up.

What clients tend to notice first is response time. Every engagement has a named point of contact who knows the file, and we answer questions in days rather than at the next quarterly meeting. What they notice second is that we bring things up before they ask. If your pricing does not cover overhead, if your books will not survive a lender or buyer review, or if a return is going to trigger a notice, you will hear it from us early enough to do something about it.

How we work

Say the number out loud

Fees are quoted before the work starts and they do not move unless the scope moves. If a return turns out to be more complicated than it looked, you hear about it before we bill it, not after.

Explain the reasoning

Anyone can tell you what to file. We tell you why a position holds up, what the alternative would have cost, and where the risk sits if the IRS asks a question about it later.

Answer the phone

You get a named accountant, a direct extension, and a reply within one business day. Nobody at this firm hands a client to an inbox and hopes the question goes away.
