What does Smart Outsourced Solutions do, and who is it for?
Smart Outsourced Solutions is a bookkeeping and tax firm for owner-operated service businesses. If you run a service company and want your books done right while also having real tax expertise on your side, this firm is built for exactly that.
Simona Leppala, the founder, is both a CPA and an Enrolled Agent. That combination is unusual for a bookkeeping firm. Most bookkeepers record transactions but can’t help much when tax questions come up. Here, the bookkeeping is done with taxes in mind from the start. When you need tax planning or IRS representation, you’re already working with someone who has the credentials to handle it.
The firm offers bookkeeping, payroll, sales tax management, 1099 preparation, personal tax returns, tax planning, and IRS representation. All the work happens in QuickBooks Online. Simona handles personal tax returns but does not prepare separate business entity returns for S-corps, partnerships, or C-corps.
The target clients are owner-operated service companies across a range of industries. Home and property services like landscapers, roofers, pest control, and pool companies. Cleaning businesses from commercial janitorial to residential. Facility services like property management and building maintenance. Medical and dental practices including dentists, chiropractors, and physical therapists. Professional firms like architects, engineers, and wealth management. Creative businesses like marketing agencies, graphic designers, and photographers. Consultants of all kinds. B2B services like IT and staffing agencies. Restaurants, bars, cafes, and food trucks. And salons and spas from hair salons to med spas.
The firm is based in Massachusetts and works with clients across New England and nationwide. If your business fits this profile and you want bookkeeping and tax services from a credentialed professional, reach out for a consultation about your specific situation.

More Questions
How do I keep cash flow healthy when I pay workers before clients pay me?
The timing gap in staffing and IT services means payroll goes out weekly while client payments come in 30 to 60 days later. Surviving this requires tight receivables tracking, a cash buffer covering four to six weeks of payroll, and often a line of credit or factoring relationship.
Read answerDo my servers really get a tax break on their tips now?
Yes. Starting in 2025, eligible tipped workers can deduct up to $25,000 of qualified tips on their personal tax returns. It's an income tax deduction only, meaning tips are still subject to Social Security and Medicare taxes, and the law puts a premium on accurate tip tracking for employers.
Read answerCan you help me catch up on several years of unfiled tax returns?
Yes. We can reconstruct your books for the missing years, prepare the back personal returns, and work with the IRS on any notices or penalties as an Enrolled Agent. Getting compliant is better than waiting.
Read answerI am a freelance designer. Do I lose the QBI deduction because I am a service business?
Good news: freelance designers generally do qualify for the full 20 percent QBI deduction. The IRS narrowed the catch-all provision that once seemed to cover any skill-based business.
Read answerWhat tax deductions do small service businesses miss most often?
Service businesses often miss deductions for home office space, vehicle mileage, equipment, retirement contributions, health insurance, and software. These get missed because owners don't track them throughout the year. Clean bookkeeping captures these deductions as they happen.
Read answerHow do I keep accurate books with high daily volume and thin margins?
Reconcile your POS sales daily, track food and labor costs as percentages of revenue weekly, and close your books within two weeks of month end. Small errors compound fast when margins are tight, so accuracy depends on catching problems while you still remember what happened.
