Philosophy

"Accounting shouldn't be a source of stress — it should be a source of clarity."

Services

Small Business Accounting & Bookkeeping

Stop wondering where your money is going. Monthly bookkeeping, financial reporting, and cash flow insights keep your finances organized and accurate — so you always know where you stand before small issues become bigger problems.

Proactive Tax Planning & Preparation

Tax season shouldn't be the first time you think about your taxes. I work with clients year-round to reduce unnecessary taxes, identify opportunities, and make sure nothing catches you off guard. Business and individual returns prepared with the full picture in mind.

Financial Insights & Business Advisory

Numbers tell a story. I help you read it. Beyond the books and the returns, I bring the context and perspective to help you understand what your financials actually mean for your business — and what to do about it.

The result

More clarity.

Less stress.

Better decisions.

Who I Work With

Built for the business owner who is too busy to manage the books and too smart to ignore them.

I work with LLCs, S corporations, sole proprietors, and growing companies that are ready to stop flying blind on their finances.

If your accounting is somewhere between "handled" and "I'll deal with it eventually" — that is exactly who I built this for.

  • Restaurant & food service owners
  • Contractors & trades businesses
  • Consultants & professional services
  • Real estate investors
  • Retail & e-commerce businesses
  • Service-based entrepreneurs
  • Startups & early-stage companies

Most CPAs know accounting.
Not many know what it takes to run a business.

Before becoming a CPA, I spent years on the other side of the desk — owning and operating businesses, making payroll, managing cash flow, and dealing with the financial surprises that don't show up in textbooks.

That experience changes how I work with clients. When you tell me about a slow month, a difficult vendor, or a decision you're wrestling with, I'm not just nodding along. I've been there.

I built Rick Zenk, CPA PLLC to provide the kind of accounting relationship I believe every business owner deserves — one that stays engaged year-round, speaks plainly, and helps you make better decisions with your money.
