Our Story

Built by a small business owner,
for small business owners.

My name is Teodora. I started One Key Accounting in 2013 to meet the needs of other entrepreneurs like me. The goal was simple: create a hub where any business owner could find everything they needed to manage their finances with ease — all in one place.

Whether it's bookkeeping, tax preparation, IRS representation, or financial consulting, I wanted to ensure that every client had access to the expertise they needed to keep their business on track and grow with confidence.

Over the years we've grown alongside the businesses we serve. Every relationship is built on reliability, clarity, and genuine care for your outcome.

"When it comes to your business, you want to talk to a real human in clear terms you can make sense of. No bots, no jargon — just straightforward, expert advice."

FAQs

Questions we get all the time

Tax and accounting can feel complicated. Here are the most common questions — answered clearly and honestly.

Ask Us Anything →
QuickBooks is a tool — not a bookkeeper. It records what you tell it to, but doesn't know if what you're entering is correct, properly categorized, or reconciled. A professional bookkeeper ensures your data is accurate, your accounts are balanced, and your reports mean something.
An S-Corp passes income through to shareholders' personal returns, avoiding corporate-level tax. A C-Corp is taxed at the corporate level and again on dividends. The right choice depends on your income, growth plans, and how you pay yourself. We help you analyze both for your specific situation.
Don't ignore it — but don't panic. Most IRS notices are about specific issues that can be resolved. Contact us immediately with a copy of the notice and we'll assess what's needed. As an Enrolled Agent we can represent you directly before the IRS and handle all communications on your behalf.
Fees depend on the complexity and scope of your needs. We always provide a clear written agreement before work begins — no surprise charges. Bookkeeping is typically priced monthly based on transaction volume. Tax preparation is priced per return. The initial consultation is always free.
Absolutely. We serve clients nationwide via phone, video, and secure document sharing. Many clients have never visited our Montclair office — everything is handled remotely without sacrificing quality or personal attention.
An Enrolled Agent (EA) is a federally licensed tax professional with unlimited rights to represent taxpayers before the IRS — including audits, collections, and appeals. It is the highest credential the IRS grants to tax professionals, and EAs specialize specifically in tax matters and IRS representation.
