A decade in finance before A+ ever opened its doors.
Before founding A+ Accounting in 2018, Jamal spent nearly ten years inside the finance functions of major Minnesota institutions — investment accounting at The McKnight Foundation, grant compliance at Hennepin Health Foundation, corporate controllership at Wells Fargo and Merrill Corporation, and public-sector auditing for the State of Minnesota. Ten years of closing books, answering to auditors, and explaining the numbers to people who don’t do accounting for a living — that is what every A+ engagement is built on.
Six disciplines. One firm.
Most clients start with one service line and add the others as the business grows — everything runs through the same QuickBooks file, so nothing gets re-entered twice.

Every industry welcome. Here's who we serve today.
We take on small businesses in any industry, full stop. Right now, the bulk of our roster is home-care and healthcare agencies, so we already know the workers'-comp, grant, and cost-report paperwork that industry runs on — but that same rigor applies to any business we take on, whatever field you're in.
Priced for where your business is now — and where it's headed.
Fixed monthly packages, not hourly guesswork. You know the bill before the month starts, and you can move up a tier the moment the work justifies it.

- Monthly management report + review call

What's changing for MN taxpayers & small businesses.
We track the rules that affect our clients so you don't have to — here's what's current as of September 2026.
Homestead Credit Refund gets a one-time 15% boost
Minnesota is adding a one-time ~15% increase to 2025 Homestead Credit Refunds. Already filed? No action needed — it's added automatically. Haven't filed yet? You have until August 16, 2027 to claim it.
Read the MN Revenue guidance →The 2026 standard deduction is up
The IRS raised the standard deduction to $32,200 (married filing jointly), $16,100 (single), and $23,950 (head of household) for 2026 — worth a look before you plan withholding for the rest of the year.
