We are Kane Tax & Accounting, a CPA firm in Coeur d'Alene led by Collin Kane, proudly serving individuals and small businesses throughout Kootenai County, North Idaho, including Hayden, Post Falls, Rathdrum, Harrison, Lewiston, Sandpoint, and Eastern Washington. We believe tax preparation alone is not enough because filing a return once each year simply documents what has already happened. The tax choices that have the greatest impact are made throughout the year, including decisions involving entity selection, asset transactions, owner compensation, retirement contributions, and the timing of income and expenses. For that reason, we remain actively involved with our clients year-round, providing proactive tax planning along with tax preparation, bookkeeping, payroll services, QuickBooks setup and training, business consulting, and fractional CFO support for growing companies seeking experienced financial leadership without hiring a full-time executive.
We have intentionally designed our firm around transparency, consistency, and personalized service. Our pricing is fixed and agreed upon before any engagement begins, eliminating hourly billing and unexpected invoices so you always understand the scope of work and associated fee in advance. Every client works directly with Collin throughout the entire engagement, ensuring the licensed CPA who prepares and reviews your return is also the person available to answer your questions whenever you call. We remain accessible beyond tax season and routinely prepare multi-state tax returns for clients who live, work, or operate businesses across the Idaho-Washington border. We proudly serve small business owners, self-employed professionals, contractors, real estate investors, and individuals whose tax situations have become too complex for standard tax software to manage with confidence.

They handle both my personal tax prep with incredible precision and expertise.

I hired Kane Tax and Accounting to handle my S-Corp, and it’s been one of the best business decisions I’ve made. Collin took the time to really dig into my full tax situation and found strategies I didn’t even know existed to lower my tax bill. What I appreciated most is how he broke everything down in plain English, so I never felt lost or confused. The team is also incredibly responsive; I never wait long for an email reply. And with their fixed-fee pricing, I always know exactly what I’m paying, no surprises. I trust them completely with my business finances and recommend them to any small business owner looking for a CPA who actually explains things.

It was amazing talking with Collin Kane. He is genuinely a very kind and knowledgeable person.
He showed me quickly how I could have saved a lot more on last year's taxes than H& R block was able to get me.
If you need tax planning or strategy for a business or personal taxes. I would highly recommend you take with Collin Kane.

For as long as I can remember I have been filing my own taxes, telling myself that I was getting a great return and doing everything right. That was until I was introduced to Collin at Kane Tax & Accounting! Collin has been absolutely incredible for my wife & I when tax season comes around and preparing throughout the year to ensure we are fully prepared and maximizing our taxes! Collin makes taxes not a stressful season, and I am forever grateful for his knowledge and professionalism throughout the entire process!

Collin is the real deal. As a small business owner, taxes used to stress me out big time, until I started working with Kane Tax & Accounting. He breaks everything down in a way that actually makes sense and helps you make smart moves all year long, not just at tax time. Super easy to talk to, quick to respond, and clearly knows his stuff. Highly recommend if you want peace of mind and someone in your corner!

Kane Tax & Accounting is the real deal. Super sharp, easy to work with, and always on top of things. Collin has helped me out with my taxes and general finances over the past few years, and it’s been a huge relief knowing he’s in my corner.
Things are explained in a way that actually makes sense (which is rare), and you can tell he genuinely cares about doing things right. If you’re looking for someone you can trust during tax season, you’re in the right place!

Collin is a wonderful resource for our personal and business taxes. Prior years we ended up paying so much money in taxes and this year in 2024, the first year we used him for taxes, he got us THOUSANDS in actual returns! Amazing service, that actually cares about you as a human being. He helps us all year round, budget, financial plan, and strategize for tax situations. Highly recommend Collin and his services.
