Small Business & Self-Employed Tax Support in Manhattan
Running a business in Manhattan means higher stakes — more transactions, more write-offs, more forms, and less time to fix mistakes. We support Manhattan small businesses, consultants, and self-employed professionals with business tax preparation, tax planning, and year-round tax guidance.
If you’re self-employed in NYC, you may also be exposed to New York City’s Unincorporated Business Tax (UBT) depending on your situation (it’s commonly discussed as a 4% tax on taxable income allocated to NYC). We’ll help you understand what applies and what doesn’t. Get your Manhattan tax help now!

Testimonials
★★★★★
"Susan L. has been handling our taxes since 2014, and I have to say that through all our years together she has done an exceptional job getting our refunds. Yes a year or two we had to pay, but it was definitely not what we expected. We moved to a Island far away, and we thank God that Susan was licensed there too. Thank you Susan to you and your team of professionals at the Katona, Bronx New York Office. Our fee has been moderate compared to the returns we have received with SCL Tax Service. Thanks again! Here's to the next tax year 2025!!"
