Accounting & Tax Services in Arizona, AZ
Arizona’s business environment is bolstered by a flat 2.5% income tax rate, creating advantages for pass-through income. Yet, the state’s Transaction Privilege Tax (TPT) system—which applies to many services exempt in other states—requires careful attention.

SDO CPA, led by Managing Partner Serena Do, a Texas-licensed CPA with 18+ years of experience, offers cloud-based services designed for proactive financial guidance. The firm provides upfront estimates and communicates any scope changes before implementation.
