ITIN support with warmth and precision. We prepare Form W‑7, review your documents, certify your identity so you don’t mail originals, and guide your application or renewal from start to finish — including family bundles.
At Bish Business Services, we combine expertise with empathy. As an IRS‑Authorized Certifying Acceptance Agent, we’re trained to verify identity and foreign status for ITIN (Individual Taxpayer Identification Number) applicants and transmit your W‑7 package correctly. Our year‑round team keeps you informed and supported at every step.
We confirm whether you (or your dependent) need an ITIN, discuss filing requirements, and outline documents needed for identity and foreign status.
We review your passport or alternative IDs and supporting papers for completeness and consistency before certification.
We prepare Form W‑7 and the required U.S. tax return (or exception documentation), ensuring everything aligns with IRS rules.
As a CAA, we certify your identity and foreign status so you keep your original documents. We include a Certificate of Accuracy with your package.
We assemble and submit your W‑7 packet to the IRS and monitor for updates. If the IRS requests more information, we help you respond promptly.
ITINs can expire if not used. We provide reminders and streamlined renewals for you and your family.
An ITIN is for individuals who must file a U.S. tax return or are listed on a return but are not eligible for a Social Security Number.
Bring as many items as apply. We’ll confirm exactly what’s needed for your situation.
Note: We’ll advise if certified copies from the issuing agency are required. Requirements vary by applicant type and age.

As a small business owner, your time is best spent growing your company — not buried in bookkeeping. We keep your books accurate and on‑time so you can focus on customers, revenue, and results.
Disclaimer: Bish Business Services LLC is not a law firm or a certified public accounting (CPA) firm. We do not provide legal advice or representation. All services are for organizational, administrative, and educational purposes only, and we recommend consulting an attorney or CPA for legal or tax-specific matters.
Every month or quarter, we handle the essentials that form the foundation of your accounting system: bank reconciliation, income statement and balance sheet preparation, general ledger cleanup, and unlimited consultations when questions come up. Build a custom package by adding payroll, tax planning/prep, or advisory as you grow.
Best for active businesses that want up‑to‑date financials and cash clarity.
Great for steady operations that want quarterly reviews and tune‑ups.
Right‑sized for seasonal or early‑stage businesses.
Monthly reconciliation keeps your accounting and taxes accurate. It helps identify lost checks or deposits, catch unauthorized transactions, avoid bank posting errors/fees, detect internal misuse, and ensure you truly know how the business is performing. Proper reconciliation protects your cash and your peace of mind.
The general ledger is the heart of your books. We review, correct duplicates or missing entries, and categorize transactions properly, then prepare clear financial statements: the Income Statement (P&L) to track performance and tax liability, and the Balance Sheet to show strength, trends, and lending readiness.
We help you plan inflows/outflows, monitor spend, and spot trends early, rising costs, margin changes, or collection slowdowns. Get practical guidance on reserves, targets, and what to adjust before issues grow.
Transaction posting, categorization, and reconciliations in QuickBooks aligned to your cadence. Need back‑work? We can clean up prior periods and set standards so future months are smooth.
Starting fresh? We’ll set up your QuickBooks chart of accounts, bank feeds, products/services, classes/locations (if needed), and smart workflows so you’re organized from day one.
Need statements for lending or landlords? We prepare accurate personal balance sheets and supporting schedules to complement your business financials.
From initial setup to deep cleanups, we fix bank feed issues, chart of accounts sprawl, duplicate vendors/customers, and mis‑categorized transactions. We tailor QBO to your business — not the other way around.
Prefer to do some tasks in‑house? We’ll train your team on best practices (invoicing, expense coding, reconciliations) and offer friendly, plain‑English support when you get stuck.
Reconciliations ensure your balances match the bank, prevent fees, and keep fraud in check. With clean books, you can manage payables/receivables and plan purchases confidently.
Absolutely. We’ll review your current QuickBooks file, fix historical issues, and then maintain a clean, consistent process going forward.
No worries — we specialize in cleanups. We’ll prioritize high‑impact months, bring you current, and put a simple routine in place.
