Monaco CPA is a virtual CPA practice serving clients in Chatham Borough, Chatham Township, and the surrounding Morris County area. Accepted work includes federal and state tax preparation and bookkeeping.
Greg Monaco, CPA, operates the solo practice and remains responsible for each accepted written engagement. For an already-formed business, the scope may include federal and NJ tax-classification analysis; Monaco CPA does not form or convert entities.
Monaco CPA combines thorough knowledge of the NJ tax landscape with the convenience of a fully virtual practice. New-client intake begins with the contact form and a written scope review; submitting it does not promise a consultation or call. Documents are exchanged securely through an encrypted client portal. No need to drive down Main Street or find parking at the train station.
Chatham property-tax and NJ income-tax amounts can interact with the federal SALT cap, itemization, standard deduction, and applicable MAGI phase-down. For an eligible already-formed pass-through entity, an accepted written scope may compare current-law BAIT treatment. No deduction, credit, or savings result is promised.
An estimated 30 to 50 percent of Chatham working households include at least one NYC commuter, making multi-state NJ/NY taxation the foundational tax challenge for the community. Post-pandemic hybrid work has added a new layer: New York's Convenience of the Employer rule can tax days worked from your Chatham home office as NY income unless your employer specifically requires you to work remotely. Careful tracking of work location days is critical, especially during residency audits conducted by both states.
RSUs, stock options, and deferred compensation can create federal, NJ, and permitted New York return-reporting questions. Monaco CPA may address tax-return treatment under an accepted written scope but does not recommend exercise timing, investments, or transactions. Home-sale and NJ GIT/REP topics are education only; Monaco CPA does not provide real-estate accounting.
For clients, an accepted written scope may cover federal and state return reporting, and completed capital-gain or digital-asset transaction reporting. Monaco CPA does not form entities, monitor holdings, or provide investment strategy.

"I was in a significant amount of debt, and wasn't sure how to pay it off comfortably. I consulted with Greg, and he helped me formulate a strategy to pay it off, while still remaining comfortable. It was so helpful for me, because I was constantly stressed out about it. Now, I'm so confident in our strategy that I don't even think about my debt anymore! If you're ever looking for someone to help out for your financial needs, I can't recommend Greg enough! Easiest 5 stars that I can give!"
