DeKalb County
Business, Tax, Real Estate & Mortgage Consulting in Dunwoody, GA
Personalized business management, tax, real estate and mortgage readiness guidance for individuals and business owners in Dunwoody, from GAP Consulting Group.
Dunwoody sits at the northern tip of DeKalb County, where Perimeter Center brings together corporate office towers, Perimeter Mall and a dense ring of hotels and restaurants. Beyond that commercial core the city is largely residential, with established subdivisions, neighborhood swim and tennis clubs and the shops of Dunwoody Village giving it a settled, suburban feel.
If you work for a large employer nearby while running a consulting practice on the side, holding stock compensation or owning a rental, each of those layers adds paperwork at tax time. GAP Consulting helps you gather wage statements, contractor income forms and supporting records, prepare your personal or business tax return, and plan ahead so estimated payments and deductions are not a scramble every spring. When questions come up about a notice, we help you organize the response and coordinate with your tax professional. Busy professionals can meet with us virtually or at our Midtown office by appointment.

Questions
Questions from Dunwoody clients
Have a question that is not answered here? Book a consultation and ask us directly.
I work in Perimeter Center and run a side business from my Dunwoody home. What should I track for taxes?
Keep side business income and expenses in a separate account, save receipts for equipment, software and supplies, and log any business use of your home or car as it happens rather than reconstructing it later. Because no employer withholds tax on that income, it also helps to set money aside during the year. GAP Consulting helps you set up that tracking, plan for estimated payments and prepare a personal tax return that includes the business.
Can I meet with GAP Consulting if I live or work in Dunwoody?
Yes. Clients in Dunwoody can book a virtual consultation through our online scheduler or meet in person at our Midtown Atlanta office at 730 Peachtree St NE, Suite 570, by appointment. Documents are shared securely through our client portal, so distance never slows the work down.
Where does a Dunwoody business get its business license?
A business located inside Dunwoody city limits generally gets its business license, sometimes called an occupation tax certificate, from the City of Dunwoody, while an address in unincorporated DeKalb County is handled by the county. We help you confirm which applies to your address and keep renewals on your calendar.
How do property taxes work for homeowners in Dunwoody?
Dunwoody is in DeKalb County, which assesses property and handles homestead exemption applications. Depending on your address, a city may also bill its own property tax. We help Dunwoody homeowners and investors keep assessments, exemptions and payment records organized for tax time and for any future sale or refinance.
