Most accountants hand you off. We don't. For 40 years, Angela Brothers and the Brothers CPA team have worked side-by-side with Birmingham individuals, families, and business owners — planning taxes before they're due, cleaning up books before they bite, and picking up the phone when it matters.
Whether you're filing a Schedule C for the first time, running a growing business, or planning your exit, we've done this work for Birmingham clients in your shoes for four decades.
Personal return preparation, multi-state filings, retirement and estate planning, college-funding strategy, and IRS notice resolution. We work with W-2 earners, executives, doctors, retirees, and families with complex investment income.
Our personal services →Monthly bookkeeping, payroll, corporate returns, quarterly tax planning, QuickBooks training, and entity selection. From the solo LLC consultant to the 40-employee operation, we scale with you.
Business services →Business valuations, succession planning, M&A transaction structuring, and multi-year tax forecasting for owners thinking about the next chapter. We've helped dozens of Birmingham founders move from operator to legacy.
Advisory services →Sixteen distinct service lines, grouped so you can find the right starting point. If you don't see your issue listed, ask — we've probably handled it.
Proactive planning plus precise filing — for individuals, partnerships, S-corps, C-corps, estates, and trusts. Current in every state we file in, current on every law change that hits you.
Monthly, quarterly, or annual bookkeeping. We set up your chart of accounts, reconcile every account, and deliver clean financials — so you always know where you stand before the return is due.
One-on-one and group QuickBooks training, clean setup, ongoing review, and monthly catch-ups. Get software that works with you instead of a file you dread opening.
Computerized payroll systems that handle direct deposit, tax deposits, 941s, W-2s, and 1099s — plus someone to call when a W-4 question lands on your desk.
From a simple compilation for an internal board report to a full audit for a bank or bonding company. Structured, quick-turn, and priced up-front.
LLC, S-corp, C-corp, partnership? The right answer changes with your revenue, your team, and your exit horizon. We'll model each option and recommend the one that actually saves money.
Received a notice, letter, or audit? Stop responding on your own. We represent you before the IRS, Alabama Department of Revenue, and other state agencies — every communication handled by a CPA.
Goal-based planning with a tax-forward lens: asset allocation, college funding, retirement modeling, insurance review, and estate strategy — all tuned to what your return will look like.
Design, set up, and administer 401(k)s, SEPs, SIMPLEs, profit-sharing, and cafeteria plans — aligned to your business goals and employee retention strategy.
Where is the money going, where is it coming from, and where will it be in six months? We build the forecasts you can actually manage from — and the banker-ready reports you need for a line increase.
Business valuations for sale, purchase, divorce, gifting, or estate — plus transaction structuring, due diligence, and deal negotiation support when there's a handshake on the table.
Sales-tax setup and nexus review, debt-restructuring analysis, and multi-year financial projections for banks, investors, or your own peace of mind.
These aren't slogans — they're the reasons clients stay with us for 10, 20, sometimes 30 years.
When you call, you reach the CPA working on your return. No voicemail tree, no "account manager" who has to check and get back to you.
We finish April and start planning for next April. Most of our tax savings are engineered in July, not March.
Fixed fees for defined scopes. You'll know what a return or monthly package costs before you sign — not after.
The person who learns your business the first year is still there the tenth. Most of our team has been with Brothers for a decade or more.
Angela Brothers started her career in 1984 as a staff accountant at Ernst & Young. Two years later, she opened her own practice. Four decades on, she's one of Birmingham's most trusted CPAs — equal parts technical accountant and pragmatic advisor.
She's a member of the American Institute of CPAs and the Alabama Society of CPAs, and her firm passed its AICPA peer review at the highest level available. Outside of work, she plays golf at Greystone Country Club and volunteers with the American Heart Association.
"We help clients stay financially viable today while taking a proactive approach to where they're headed. That's it. That's the whole practice."
Four professionals, combined tenure measured in generations. When you call, you're calling someone who remembers your situation.
Forty years in Birmingham accounting — former Ernst & Young staff accountant, AICPA member, and the CPA most clients speak to directly.
Financial planning, retirement strategy, and long-horizon advisory for the firm's wealth-management clients.
Onboarding, document flow, and secure portal administration — the first person most new clients meet.
Scheduling, records management, and the institutional memory of the firm — on the team since 2011.
From first call to first return, usually under two weeks.
We talk through your situation, your last return, and where the pressure is. No commitment.
You get a written quote for the scope we discussed — tax prep, bookkeeping, or a bundled package.
Documents move through our 256-bit SSL portal. No email attachments. No faxing.
Quarterly check-ins, proactive notices, and a CPA who already knows your business when you call.
Our secure client portal lets you upload returns, download W-2s and 1099s, message your CPA, and view prior-year filings — all protected by 256-bit SSL encryption. No email attachments.
The same questions come up on almost every first call. Here's what we tell people.
No. The first 30 minutes is free and no-obligation. We'd rather spend it figuring out whether we can help you than selling. If we're not the right fit, we'll say so.
Flat fees for defined scopes wherever possible. Personal returns are quoted based on complexity. Monthly business packages are quoted per scope (bookkeeping, payroll, tax filings, advisory). You'll know the number before you sign — no hourly surprises.
Yes. Our portal, e-sign, and virtual-meeting setup means we serve clients across Alabama and in several other states. In-person meetings happen in Birmingham when it makes sense.
Absolutely. Roughly a third of our clients use us only for tax prep and planning. We'll work with your bookkeeper, software, or spreadsheet — whatever's there.
Don't respond on your own. Forward or bring us the letter. Most notices have short response windows (often 30 days), so the sooner we see it, the more options we have.
Professional service firms, medical practices, real-estate investors, construction subcontractors, closely-held family businesses, and high-net-worth individuals. We've seen most of what Birmingham runs on.
Through our 256-bit SSL client portal. Every new client gets a login on day one — no emailing W-2s or 1099s.
No problem. We regularly transition clients mid-year. We'll work with your prior accountant to get the files and pick up where they left off — without disrupting your filings.
Whether you're weighing a switch, wrestling with a notice, or just tired of chasing your current CPA — pick a time. We'll listen, tell you the truth, and quote a fee before you commit to anything.
