Monaco CPA is a virtual CPA practice serving clients in Fort Lee and Bergen County with personal tax preparation, small business accounting, and bookkeeping.
Greg Monaco, CPA, runs the solo practice and remains responsible for each accepted written engagement. New-client intake begins with the contact form; submitting it requests written review only and does not create an engagement or promise a consultation or call.
Monaco CPA serves clients through a virtual practice.; international work is referred to an independent specialist.
Fort Lee's internationally connected community can encounter FBAR, FATCA, Form 3520, foreign-asset, and treaty questions. This is general education only, not an offer of international-tax services. Monaco CPA does not prepare, coordinate, or advise on international matters; an independent international-tax specialist must determine and prepare any required filings.
Fort Lee sits at the western terminus of the George Washington Bridge, making it Bergen County's most direct gateway to Manhattan. NJ Transit buses depart from the GW Bridge Plaza to Midtown every 10 minutes, and an estimated 30% to 40% of the workforce commutes to New York City. These commuters face one of the country's most complex dual-state tax situations. New York's convenience of the employer rule taxes work-from-home days as NY income for most hybrid workers, and NJ's retaliatory convenience rule (effective January 2023) adds another layer of complexity. For Fort Lee residents with self-employment income sourced to the NYC Metropolitan Commuter Transportation District, the MCTMT tax on net earnings above $50,000 is an additional obligation that is easy to overlook.
For business owners and GW Bridge commuters, an accepted written scope may cover federal and state return work A BAIT comparison for an already-formed entity is fact-specific and does not promise a deduction, credit, or savings result.

"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!
