Who We Are

Year Around Tax Service provides professional financial services for small to mid-sized businesses in the bay area.

Our service is consistently accomplished at a level superior to the abilities of most “in-house” bookkeepers at a fraction of the cost!
Our professionalism and expertise will save you time and money. 

No matter how big or small your business is, record keeping is essential.
Year Round Tax Service was established to assist small local businesses throughout the Santa Cruz County area. It is our belief that regardless of how small a business may be, proper bookkeeping is absolutely essential for a healthy and prosperous future.

Not enough time?
The vast majority of small businesses have no financial system in place. Although there are many reasons for this, we believe that “time” has much to do with it. The proprietor, in the pursuit of growing and operating the business, finds little or no “time” to perform bookkeeping functions. Yet, the “time” necessary to complete the functions of the job would fall far under the minimum amount of “time” most prospective employees would require per week. Year Round Tax Service eliminates this problem.

Get flexible accounting services.
Whether you need two hours or twenty hours of bookkeeping services, we can customize a package for you. We offer flexible scheduling during which we can personally pick up your “source documentation” at your business. We even offer "on-site" assistance at no additional charge.

  • Our professionalism and expertise will help save you time and money.
  • We'll work with you to develop the best bookkeeping strategy for your company, no matter how large or small.
  • We're here to personally answer your questions.
  • Our service is consistently superior to most “in-house” bookkeepers, at a fraction of the cost!

Heather McTavish
My name is Heather McTavish and I live in Capitola with my husband Marcus, and our son Colby. I am so thankful every day to live in paradise, and be business partners with my husband. My hobbies include gardening, pilates, zumba, and horseback riding. I also love to cook and travel. The reason why I love to travel is because I like to live, breath, and even taste each different culture the world has to offer.

I am a graduate of Cal Poly San Luis Obispo where I majored in Accounting and Finance. I am currently a CPA as well as an EA.  I have been preparing individual, trust, partnership and corporate income tax returns since 2001.

I really enjoy helping my client's solve tax situations so that they feel empowered, rather than fearful of taxing authorities because my client's know that their finances are in good hands.

I am also great problem solver. I can go into consulting with client's on any QuickBooks issues they may be encountering, as well as educating clients on how to properly set up a company's books .

I would love to help you minimize your tax liability or help solve any problems you may  be encountering. Come visit me and we will see what we can do.

We love new projects!
Let's get started.
