Monaco CPA is a virtual CPA practice based just 7 miles from Verona in Livingston, New Jersey, providing personal tax preparation, small business accounting, and bookkeeping services to individuals and businesses throughout Verona and Essex County.
Founded by Greg Monaco, CPA, the practice delivers the kind of personalized, one-on-one attention that large firms reserve for their top-tier clients.
Verona residents get a CPA who understands the specific Essex County tax landscape, including NJ/NY commuter filings, the upcoming property revaluation, and NJ-specific deductions, all delivered through a fully virtual practice. Consultations happen via video call or phone, and documents are exchanged through an encrypted client portal.
Verona is a compact, family-oriented township of roughly 14,800 residents with a median household income of $161,843 and a self-employment rate of 12.2%, well above the state average. That combination creates a community where W-2 professionals, freelancers, and small business owners all need proactive tax planning. Monaco CPA helps Verona residents navigate dual-state returns for NYC commuters, optimize S-Corp elections for growing consulting practices, and plan around the NJ-specific rules that catch newcomers off guard.
With average property taxes near $13,788 and a county-ordered revaluation underway for 2025 to 2026, Verona homeowners face a shifting tax picture. The revaluation will reset assessed values closer to market prices, which may produce significant changes in individual tax bills even if rates adjust. Monaco CPA helps Verona homeowners understand what the revaluation means for their NJ property tax deduction, ANCHOR eligibility, and federal SALT strategy under the expanded $40,000 for 2025 / $40,400 for 2026 cap.
Verona's Bloomfield Avenue corridor supports nearly 400 businesses, from established restaurants like Verona Inn and Ariane Kitchen & Bar to professional offices and service providers. Business owners along this corridor face NJ registration requirements, entity structuring decisions, and ongoing compliance. Monaco CPA works with medical practices, law firms, and service businesses to manage bookkeeping, quarterly estimated payments, and payroll compliance.
Many Verona residents moved from Montclair or other higher-cost Essex County towns to take advantage of Verona's lower home prices while keeping access to strong schools and a close-knit community. That transition often triggers new tax planning needs, from first-time homeowner deductions to recalibrating withholding after a major change in housing costs. Monaco CPA helps families through these transitions with clear, jargon-free guidance.

"Greg was very professional and patient with my messy bookkeeping. He was easily able to handle gambling, crypto, business, W-2, and ACA. I would recommend his services to anyone with a complex return. Thanks Greg!"

"I reached out to Greg regarding my 2025 tax return and he has helped me every step of the way, from catching errors on my 2024 return to maximizing my 2025 return. I definitely recommend anyone who is skeptical or hesitant to go to Greg Monaco for any tax-related or financial matters. He takes the time to work with you and walk through every step!"

"Filing my taxes is usually no big deal, but 2025 was a major hassle due to the new crypto filing regulations, and specifically because exchanges like Coinbase weren't reporting cost basis. My own CPA wasn't crypto-knowledgeable and couldn't help me pull reports from Coinbase and Genesis. I spent hours researching crypto-knowledgeable CPAs and spoke with half a dozen firms - quotes ranged from $2K to $6K to reconcile my crypto sales and file my return, plus $400 to $600 an hour for anything extra. Then I found Monaco CPA. I left Greg a voicemail and he returned my call the same day, answered all my questions, and quoted me way less than anyone else. He got everything done - crypto reporting and taxes filed - within two weeks. Super satisfied, and I'll be using Monaco CPA for my 2026 return. Highly recommended!"
