What can
Privateer Accounting
do for you?
Bookkeeping Services
Day-to-day income and expenses categorized, bank and credit cards reconciled, records kept clean and current. You always know where the money went.
Accounts Receivable & Payable
Invoicing and bill tracking so receivables get collected and due dates don’t slip.
Financial Statements
Clear profit & loss, balance sheet, and cash flow reports throughout the year — plus custom reports when a specific part of the business needs a closer look.
Tax Preparation, Filing & Planning
Federal and state returns for sole props, partnerships, and S-corps, with legitimate deductions taken seriously. Year-round attention to estimates, payroll tax pieces, and decisions before year-end — whether you run payroll yourself or use a service.
Software Setup & Cleanup
Xero is our primary platform; we can work in other systems too. Behind on the books? We’ll get them caught up and current.
Fractional CFO
Budgets, forecasts, and decision support when you’re ready for a clearer map — not just clean books. Scope is set with you; typical work includes planning, policies, and larger purchases or projects.
Why Privateer Accounting?
Most small business owners in Ohio don’t need a large firm with layers of staff and high overhead. They need accurate books, clean tax filings, and someone from the area who understands what it’s like to run their own business. Privateer Accounting is structured around the needs of service businesses, trades, local shops, and similar operations that don’t carry heavy inventory.
With Privateer Accounting, you’ll work directly with a Certified Public Accountant who takes the time to understand how your business operates. The goal is to give you a clear picture of where things stand and practical guidance so you can make informed decisions throughout the year.
Privateer Accounting is local. You don’t have to drive to Columbus just to talk about your taxes — in many cases, we’ll come to you.
Privateer Accounting is also insured against errors and omissions.

Meet the Privateer!
Hello!
My name is Spencer Phelps, and I’m a Certified Public Accountant. I’ve been doing accounting for the past 10+ years now, and have lived in Marion, Ohio pretty much all of my life.
I’ve been on a few weird adventures throughout my time here. I wrote a book once, got my black belt in Taekwondo, oh! And I started an all blues music radio station here in Marion. Check it out sometime on 97.5 FM when you’re in town. It’s called TruBlues975! Even started an annual blues festival that is now celebrating its 10th year!
Other than some interesting hobbies, I have a love for numbers and an appreciation for local entrepreneurs. I really respect someone who wants to raise their own flag and set sail, so to speak. My advice? Don’t go it alone. Get someone to help with the finance side of things. You’ll be glad you did.
“But doesn’t it cost a boat load to hire a CPA?!”
You probably think of Certified Public Accountants as only available to those multi-million dollar companies right? I aim to change that. That’s why I’m offering my services to small businesses in Ohio that make under one million per year and do not deal with a lot of inventory. Running your own business is hard enough, and hiring someone to track your expenses shouldn’t be expensive!
Thanks for stopping by my site today. Please drop me a message below if you have any questions or would like to talk further.
Sincerely,
Spencer Phelps, CPA
