Who we are & What we do
At Basswood, we know that running a small business isn’t just about making sales—it’s about building something meaningful. As a business owner, your priority should be realizing your vision. But between managing finances, keeping up with payroll, and navigating tax compliance, many business owners find themselves overwhelmed, uncertain, and stretched too thin. That’s where we come in.

Founded in 2018, Basswood was created to empower small business owners with the clarity, support, and confidence they need to achieve their goals. We go beyond just crunching numbers—we establish long-term partnerships rooted in trust to help you stay organized, compliant, and financially prepared for the future.
Our tailored service engagements offer the right level of support for your business, whether you need essential compliance services, strategic tax planning, or hands-on business advisory. Every client is paired with a dedicated Account Manager to maintain financial records, process payroll, and ensure compliance, as well as a Tax Preparer who provides proactive strategies to minimize liabilities and maximize financial opportunities.
​
We believe success is built on strong foundations. That’s why we prioritize clear communication, pro-active planning, and intentional action. We’re not just here to file reports—we’re here to guide you through financial decisions, help you reclaim your time, and set you up for lasting success.
We believe iron sharpens iron. By collaborating and working together we achieve more.
We believe transparency and honest communication are essential to gaining clarity.
We believe excellence is doing your best and learning along the way.
We pursue growth by viewing challenges as opportunities to learn and improve.
We are committed to following the rules—our ethics are non-negotiable.
