At Blue Collar CPA, we help hardworking business owners stop worrying about taxes and bookkeeping so they can get back to what they do best. I’m Tyler Troutman — a Certified Public Accountant with more than eight years of hands‑on experience serving small businesses in the construction and hospitality industries. I combine practical, industry‑specific knowledge with straightforward advice and modern technology to deliver reliable, affordable accounting and tax services.
Your Success is the Priority.
What I do for clients
Small‑business tax preparation and planning
I prepare accurate, timely tax returns and design tax‑minimizing strategies that fit the realities of construction, hospitality, and other blue‑collar businesses.
Bookkeeping, payroll, and QuickBooks consulting
Need bookkeeping help? I provide payroll solutions, sales/use tax support, and QuickBooks setup and consulting. Prefer not to pay a recurring monthly bookkeeping fee? I can automate your QuickBooks so routine tasks run themselves and schedule quarterly or annual check‑ins around tax time. No reason to pay for year‑round bookkeeping when automation and occasional professional reviews give you accuracy and peace of mind.
New business coaching and compliance guidance
Thinking of starting a business? I’ve coached many peers through their first launches — from entity selection and registrations to bookkeeping setup and IRS/regulatory compliance — so you’re positioned to grow without tax or legal headaches.
CFO‑style advisory and tax planning for growth
Once your business is growing, I provide proactive tax planning and financial guidance to help minimize taxes, maximize cash flow, and hit your long‑term goals. I encourage clients to reach out before making major business decisions — let me be your personal CFO that’s just a phone call away.
Rental property tax strategy and exit planning
Own rental property? I’ll help you maximize returns, navigate depreciation and passive activity rules, and plan an efficient exit strategy when you’re ready to sell.
