SME CPAs

Most retailers ask: “Do you have a resale certificate?” But for CSRA contractors, saying “Yes” can be a costly mistake. 🚧

In construction accounting, you are typically considered the final consumer of the materials you buy, not a reseller. If you use a resale certificate to skip taxes at the register for a job in Augusta or Aiken, you aren't "saving" money—you’re just delaying a tax bill that often comes back with interest and penalties during an audit.

Understanding your status as a "Contractor-as-Consumer" is the first step to protecting your bottom line. 🛡️
