Bookkeeping Basics Every Owner Should Know
The essential monthly rhythm that keeps books ready for taxes, lenders, and decisions.
Jalloh & Company brings accounting, taxes, payroll, reporting, and advisory guidance together through one trusted relationship — helping Maryland-area individuals and business owners move from today's responsibilities to tomorrow's opportunities.

Jalloh & Company was founded by Alhaji Jalloh, an IRS-licensed Enrolled Agent based in College Park, Maryland. Educated at the University of Maryland Global Campus, he built the firm to serve the entrepreneurs, families, and organizations who make the Capital Region's economy work — the kind of clients who want a real advisor, not another vendor.
The firm holds federal designations as a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) and a Veteran-Owned Small Business (VOSB) — a reflection of the discipline, responsibility, and service ethic that guide every client relationship.
Clients return because the conversation goes further than a return or a reconciliation. We take time to understand what you're managing, where you're headed, and where a stronger financial structure can carry you.
Accounting should not merely describe what already happened. It should help you understand where you stand, what needs attention, and what to do next.
That's the standard behind every engagement — from a first bookkeeping cleanup to a multi-year tax strategy conversation.
For people starting, organizing, or formalizing a business. We help you choose the right entity, register cleanly, and build a financial foundation that can carry the next stage.
For owners who need reliable books, payroll, reporting, and guidance — without hiring in-house. One relationship covers accounting, tax, and advisory in step.
For leaders seeking stronger financial systems, cleaner reporting, and an ongoing advisor who understands the operating pressures you're under.
For clients who want thoughtful, personal tax preparation and planning — not another anonymous storefront. Complex returns handled with genuine care.
Most firms hand you a list. We help you understand which stage you're in, and then bring the right work forward. Accounting, advisory, and taxation delivered through one relationship.
For new ventures — everything you need to start with confidence and clean records.
For active operators — the ongoing rhythm of books, payroll, and reporting done right.
For clients ready to move from reactive to proactive — tax and business strategy year-round.
For situations that need experienced hands — clean-ups, correspondence, and quiet resolution.
We built our client experience around three commitments: keep things organized, communicate promptly, and make it easy to do business with us — from first conversation to long-term relationship.
Digital document exchange, e-signatures, appointment scheduling, automated reminders, and status communication — always through a secure, encrypted portal.
