ATMS was originally founded to cater to small and medium sized businesses in the community. We can do much more than that. Founded in the Ozarks, we are a professional business with a small-town feel. ATMS also serves Marshfield and El Dorado Springs. Our focus is affordability, availability and friendliness in all things we do.

In addition to offering tax preparation for individual filers, we serve businesses that don’t have enough work to employ a full time accountant or bookkeeper to fulfill their needs or the budget to cover the cost of a large accounting firm or full time CPA. We offer a more affordable option. We have a menu of services we provide, and each business has the options to choose the services they need. We offer payroll, financial statements, invoicing and billing, payroll taxes and sales taxes, as well as management services that include setting up your new business, LLC and corporation set-up, SBA loans and much more. We have an IRS enrolled agent to settle any tax disputes or IRS issues.

We have tons of giveaways at the women’s show, including several beautiful baskets filled with items relating to a theme. We make car wash baskets, coffee baskets, movie baskets, health and beauty baskets and many more. You might catch the boss lady handing out Andy’s gift cards to kids. Stop by our booth to see the other giveaways we will have and meet our friendly, professional staff!

Due to the COVID-19 virus and Springfield/Greene County regulations set in place on March 26, ATMS will close its lobbies to our clients. This decision was made to protect our clients and staff. However, we are still here for you and continue to prepare your taxes, pay-roll, and attend to all your needs in the same prompt, friendly, efficient manner.

We have boxes located outside the office for you to drop off your information.

However, we can make exceptions. Please call us to reserve a time that is better for you to drop off or pick up your information.

Once the $2.5 trillion emergency stimulus bill takes effect, you may have questions on how that will work. For now, we are following everything to see how a business can apply for the emergency loans and if a date will be announced when the American people can expect a stimulus check. The federal government has okayed a part of that package for people that are drawing unemployment due to COVID-19. You will receive $600 from the federal government weekly on top of the Missouri amount you receive. For now, that is the most information our office has to offer, but we will continue to educate ourselves for you as you call with questions. Please bear with us if we don’t have the answer at that time, but as soon as

we do you WILL be called back.

Please take care of yourself and your family during these times. Please pray that all Americans do what they should to help beat this pandemic.
