Raleigh, North Carolina, November 11, 2026 /MarketersMEDIA/ -- Raleigh firm led by Enrolled Agent James Cox III focuses its year-end work on three local industries ahead of the February 1, 2027 deadline for 1099-NEC forms

Cox Accounting & Financial Services Inc, a Raleigh accounting firm led by founder and IRS Enrolled Agent James Cox III, is focusing its year-end work on three kinds of local small businesses: auto repair and mechanic shops, construction contractors and restaurants.

The firm provides bookkeeping, payroll, tax preparation and planning, IRS tax resolution and CFO-level consulting, with services built around how each of those businesses actually runs, from parts and labor tracking in a repair shop to project-based billing and subcontractors in construction and tipped payroll and food costs in restaurants.

The focus comes at year-end, as owners close their books for 2026. Forms 1099-NEC for contractors and other nonemployees are due at the start of 2027, and because January 31, 2027 falls on a Sunday, the deadline moves to Monday, February 1, 2027. Construction businesses that rely on subcontractors and restaurants with tipped payroll have the most to get right before that deadline.

“Most of the business owners we work with got into this to fix cars, build things or feed people, not to reconcile accounts. Our job is to keep their numbers right all year so that when deadlines like the January 1099s come around, nothing is a surprise,” said James Cox III, Founder and Enrolled Agent at Cox Accounting & Financial Services.

Books Built Around How Each Business Runs

Through its Bookkeeping services, Cox Accounting helps owners of repair shops, construction companies and restaurants close out the year, get 1099s and payroll filings out on time, and start tax season from current, reconciled numbers instead of a catch-up project.

For contractors, the firm’s Construction accounting covers job-based billing, job costing, cash flow planning and managing subcontractors.
