Tax season shouldn’t feel like you’re heading into overtime. Running a recreation center, sports complex, or community league is already a full-contact job — managing memberships, events, coaches, and constant schedules. Then tax time hits, and suddenly you’re juggling deductions, payroll, and compliance like you’re defending against a fast break.

That’s where Straight Talk CPAs steps in.

We simplify the entire tax preparation process for recreation and sports facilities. We understand your operation doesn’t follow a 9-to-5 rhythm — your cash flow rises and falls with memberships, seasons, and weather. Our mission is straightforward: keep your filings clean, capture every legitimate deduction, and help your facility hold onto more of what it earns.

Tax Preparation for Recreational Sports Facilities

Why Tax Preparation Isn’t One-Size-Fits-All

Recreation facilities face their own brand of financial chaos — unpredictable attendance, rotating staff, and never-ending maintenance costs.

Here’s how we help you stay ahead of it all:

Accurate, Organized Filings

We don’t just crunch numbers — we sort and structure income from memberships, field rentals, tournaments, and sponsorships so everything aligns correctly on your return.

Claim Every Deduction

From turf maintenance and lighting systems to concession gear and booking software — if it keeps your facility running, we’ll make sure it’s accounted for.

Audit-Ready Confidence

If the IRS ever calls, your books won’t flinch. Every figure, document, and form is ready to back you up — no scrambling, no stress.

Tax Services That Go Beyond Basic Filing

We’re not a “see-you-next-April” kind of firm. We work alongside you year-round, making sure your finances stay tight, compliant, and optimized.


  • Customized Returns: Tailored for LLCs, nonprofits, or multi-location facilities — no generic templates.

  • Expense Categorization: Every program, rental, and department is tracked with clarity for smarter deductions.

     We’ll determine whether they qualify as employees or contractors, manage payroll tax filings, and keep you compliant from every angle.
