Getting to us
Clovis is our headquarters, so clients based here get direct, in-person access to the full High Velocity Accounting team without any drive at all.
Accounting and tax in Clovis
Clovis is home to High Velocity Accounting's headquarters, and it also happens to be a base for a growing number of HVAC, electrical, plumbing, and mechanical contractors running multiple trucks and crews out of shops along the Highway 168 corridor. These businesses live and die by technician productivity, and the accounting has to keep up with data flowing out of ServiceTitan and Housecall Pro every single day, not just at month end.
Membership and service agreement revenue is a growing piece of the model for Clovis trades businesses, and recognizing that revenue correctly as deferred rather than dumping it straight to income the day a card gets charged is one of the most common cleanup projects we run into. Getting it right changes what a contractor actually knows about their margin on recurring maintenance work.
Fleet costs, from fuel and maintenance to financing new service vans, are a real drag on cash flow for Clovis home services companies, and owners need job costing tight enough to see which technicians and which service lines are actually funding the truck payments versus which ones are just breaking even.

Accounting Services in Clovis
For Clovis HVAC, electrical, and plumbing contractors, we build monthly bookkeeping around technician and department profitability, pulling job-level data out of ServiceTitan or Housecall Pro and reconciling it into QuickBooks Online so owners can see margin by crew, not just a lump revenue number for the month.

Most Clovis trades businesses run as S corporations with an owner-operator taking a mix of salary and distributions, so our tax planning centers on reasonable compensation, Section 179 and bonus depreciation on service vehicles and equipment, and sales tax treatment on the parts sold alongside labor.

Owners of Clovis HVAC and mechanical contracting companies typically see seasonal swings in income tied to summer cooling demand and winter heating calls, so we build quarterly estimates around that seasonality instead of a flat quarterly assumption that leaves them underpaid or sitting on cash they need for slow months.

Fractional CFO work for Clovis contractors usually starts with a question about adding a second crew or a new service line, and we build technician-level break-even models and fleet financing analysis so the owner can make that call with real numbers instead of a hunch.

S Corporation Tax
Most Clovis HVAC and plumbing companies are structured as S corporations with the owner as the sole shareholder-employee. Reasonable compensation planning done correctly here prevents the most common IRS exam trigger for this client base.
Fractional CFO
Clovis contractors regularly weigh adding a truck and a technician against current cash flow. A fractional CFO gives them the labor cost and break-even modeling to make that call with real numbers instead of a gut feeling.
Individual Tax Planning
Nearly all of the personal tax work we do in Clovis belongs to trades owners whose 1040 is driven by S corporation distributions, equipment purchases, and seasonal cash swings, so owner planning happens alongside the company's books rather than in a separate February conversation.

How working together goes
- 01
Consultation
A 30-minute conversation at no cost. Bring your last filed return, your current bookkeeping file or bank statements, and any notices you have received. We use the time to understand the entity structure, the filing history, and what is actually keeping you up at night.
- 02
Scope and proposal
You receive a written proposal with a fixed fee, a defined list of deliverables, and the dates each one is due. Work outside that list is quoted before it starts, so there are no surprise invoices at the end of a busy month.
- 03
Onboarding
We collect read access to your records, prior-year returns, and payroll and sales tax filings, then review your accounting system for chart of accounts problems, unreconciled balances, and anything that would distort the first set of reports.
- 04
Ongoing work
Reporting arrives on a set cadence you agree to up front. You have a named accountant, not a queue, and questions get a response within one business day during normal months and same day during filing deadlines.
