The Arizona numbers a CFO has to know
Forecasts are only as good as the tax and fee assumptions inside them. In Arizona that means a flat 2.5% personal income tax, a 4.9% corporate income tax, a 5.6% state sales tax (about 8.52% combined with local rates) and no annual report or annual fee for an LLC. We build those into the model so the cash forecast survives contact with April.
| Arizona at a glance | What applies | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Personal income tax | A flat 2.5% personal income tax | Flat rate on taxable income (2025 table) |
| Corporate income tax | A 4.9% corporate income tax | Flat corporate rate (2026 table) |
| Sales tax | A 5.6% state sales tax (about 8.52% combined with local rates) | Combined figure is the population-weighted average with local rates (2026 table) |
| LLC fees | Formation $50; No annual report or annual fee for an LLC | $0 |
| Corporation fees | Formation $60; Annual report $45, due Anniversary date | Corporations file annual reports; LLCs do not |
| S-corp election | Federal election recognised | Federal S election recognised; a pass-through entity (PTE) tax election may be available, confirmed at engagement |

What Arizona changes in the model
Arizona has a flat personal income tax and a low corporate rate, and its LLCs have no annual report requirement at all. Corporations still file an annual report with the Corporation Commission.
Entity-level charges are the ones founders forget in a forecast: no annual report or annual fee for an LLC, a 4.9% corporate income tax and, for sellers, a 5.6% state sales tax (about 8.52% combined with local rates). We also model the owner's own tax position, because a distribution that looks affordable in the business is often not affordable once Arizona and federal tax on it are counted.

Arizona questions people ask first
What is the difference between bookkeeping and a virtual CFO?
Bookkeeping records what happened and closes the month. A virtual CFO uses those numbers to forecast, price, plan tax and advise on decisions. Most clients start with clean books, then add the CFO layer.
Do you replace my accountant?
We can be the whole finance function (books, tax, CFO) or work alongside an existing Arizona CPA. Many CPA firms bring us in as the advisory partner for their clients.
How is Arizona tax built into the forecast?
We model a flat 2.5% personal income tax, a 4.9% corporate income tax and entity fees such as no annual report or annual fee for an LLC, alongside federal tax and estimated payments, so the cash forecast reflects what will actually leave the bank.
Can you prepare numbers for investors or a lender?
Yes. GAAP-consistent statements, a data room checklist and the reconciliations a diligence team will ask for, prepared before they ask.
What does it cost?
Fixed monthly fee, quoted after the free call. Add-on CFO services start at $99 a month on a bookkeeping plan.
Who is on the team?
Certified Accountants, CPAs and Enrolled Agents working from New York and Mumbai, with one point of contact and replies within 8 hours.
