Leesburg, VA Bookkeeping Services — Historic Downtown, Modern Books
Leesburg is Loudoun’s county seat and its most layered tax address: an incorporated town with its own business license, sitting inside a county that separately taxes your equipment — with both layers billed on one county statement. Around that quirk thrives a genuine small-business economy: the historic downtown’s restaurants, shops, and galleries, a growing professional community, and the town-owned executive airport. Maxim Liberty has served Loudoun businesses since 2005 — from $75/month.

One Bill, Two Governments
Leesburg businesses get their business license from the Town of Leesburg — a flat $20 under $100,000 in receipts, then a percentage above — while registering business property with Loudoun County, which bills both the county’s $4.15 and the town’s additional $1.00 per $100 on a single statement. One more wrinkle worth knowing: the town’s rate table has no separate “professional services” category, so your classification (most service firms land in the 0.20% business-service class) is worth confirming with the town before your first filing.

Leesburg Bookkeeping FAQs
Who do I actually pay — the town or the county?
Both, through two channels: the business license goes to the Town of Leesburg (renewed by March 1), while business tangible property is registered with Loudoun County, which bills the county’s $4.15 and the town’s $1.00 per $100 together — filed March 1, paid May 5 and October 5.
My firm provides professional services — what license rate applies?
Leesburg’s table has no standalone professional category; most service firms are classified as business or personal service occupations at 0.20% of gross receipts (with a flat $20 under $100,000). The town assigns classifications, so confirm yours in writing — it is the number your whole license bill hangs on.
We run a tasting room downtown — anything special?
Alcohol sales bring ABC recordkeeping on top of meals and sales taxes. We keep each tax in its own liability account and reconcile POS reports to deposits, so licensing reviews and tax filings draw from the same clean numbers.

We are fully virtual — founded in Vienna, Virginia in 2005 and headquartered in San Juan, Puerto Rico today. Dedicated bookkeeper from $75/month, daily logging, and a 100% money-back guarantee on your first deposit.
