Who We Serve
Allen's Accounting serves Iowa City's vibrant business community with the same dedication that makes this town thrive. From innovative startups near the University of Iowa campus to established businesses along the Coralville strip, we understand the entrepreneurial spirit that drives our local economy. Our team knows Iowa City's unique blend of academic energy, healthcare innovation, and small town values that create the perfect environment for business growth.
We specialize in supporting the industries that power our community. Healthcare practices working alongside UI Hospitals, construction companies building our growing neighborhoods, professional service firms downtown, and the countless small businesses that serve our residents. Whether you run a nonprofit supporting local causes, manage properties near campus, or operate an e-commerce business from your home office, we speak your financial language and understand your specific challenges.
Our doors are open to every Iowa City entrepreneur, from solo consultants just starting out to established manufacturers employing dozens. We believe that professional bookkeeping should be accessible to all local businesses, not just the largest ones. If you're ready to spend less time on financial paperwork and more time growing your Iowa City business, you're exactly who we're here to serve.


Why Choose Us
Iowa City businesses choose Allen's Accounting because we understand what makes this community unique. From downtown shops and restaurants to university spin-offs and healthcare practices, we've helped Iowa City companies manage their finances for years. Our full-charge bookkeeping and payroll services keep local businesses running smoothly, whether you're managing student employees or scaling a tech startup near the research park.
Every Iowa City business has different financial needs. A medical practice near UIHC requires different support than a retail shop on the Ped Mall. That's why we customize our services to fit your actual needs. Need weekly payroll but only quarterly advisory meetings? Perfect. Want fractional CFO guidance during expansion but can handle day-to-day bookkeeping? We'll design a plan that works. You get exactly what helps your business grow.
We know Iowa business inside and out. State tax requirements, local regulations, and the rhythms of a college town economy. When you partner with Allen's Accounting, you work with a team that understands Iowa City's blend of education, healthcare, and entrepreneurship. We're here to help local businesses build strong financial foundations with reliable QuickBooks support and strategic guidance when you need it most.
