Active Traders Bookkeeping

The Only Bulletproof Defense Against the IRS

At Trader’s Accounting, we believe that accurate bookkeeping is more than just good practice: it’s your first line of defense against the IRS. Since 1998, we’ve provided professional bookkeeping services exclusively for active traders who treat trading as a business. Our experienced team ensures that your accounting records are complete, compliant, and meaningful, helping you stay organized and audit-ready all year long.

Monthly Financial Reports That Matter

Our detailed monthly reports give you a full financial picture of your trading business. Your balance sheet will display your assets, liabilities, and equity on a specific date, helping you understand the health of your business at a glance. Meanwhile, your income statement will show your income and expenses over time, giving you insight into profitability and performance trends. These reports are essential tools for decision-making, tax preparation, and maintaining compliance with IRS standards.

Focus on Trading—We’ll Handle the Rest

As an active trader, your time is best spent monitoring markets and managing your strategies, not dealing with the monthly grind of bookkeeping.

Why Bookkeeping Matters for Active Traders

Well-organized and regularly maintained accounting records are the foundation of every successful trading business. Unlike standard business bookkeeping, trading records must reflect every stock transaction on both sides of the ledger, a process that can be extremely time-consuming and complex.

When tax season arrives, having detailed and properly reconciled records will save you valuable time, energy, and money. From day one, it’s crucial to decide how your records will be maintained and who will be responsible for ensuring their accuracy. Outsourcing your bookkeeping to Trader’s Accounting gives you peace of mind that your financials are always up-to-date and full compliant.

Knowing What’s Deductible

Don’t Pay More Taxes Than You Need To

Simply tracking your transactions isn’t enough. Active traders must also know which expenses are deductible and what documentation the IRS requires to substantiate those deductions. The IRS applies much stricter standards to trader expenses than it does to general business costs, often requiring more than just a simple receipt.

Our bookkeeping team works hand-in-hand with our tax professionals to integrate your tax and business planning. This approach ensures you’re identifying both opportunities for deductions and potential areas of risk. We help you:

  • Organize and substantiate all trading-related expenses
  • Identify deductions you may have missed
  • Maintain IRS-compliant documentation for every expense

With our help, you’ll minimize your tax burden legally while keeping your focus where it belongs, on trading.

Streamlined Recordkeeping for Traders

From Chaos to Clarity

Gone are the days of sifting through spreadsheets, paper statements, and brokerage records trying to match trades by hand. Our professional bookkeeping department is built around our motto: “You Trade, We’ll Do the Rest.”

We take care of the tedious recordkeeping tasks so you can focus on executing trades and managing your business. When you partner with us, here’s what you can expect:

  • Detailed, on-demand reporting whenever you need a closer look
