Industries We Serve
JRH & Associates provides specialized tax, accounting, and advisory services to more than 30 industries across Garden City, Long Island, and beyond. We learn how your field actually works so the advice you get fits your business, not a template.
Accounting built around how your industry really operates.
No two industries face the same financial questions. A real estate investor weighing a 1031 exchange, a contractor deciding between percentage-of-completion and completed-contract accounting, and a dental practice structuring its payroll are all asking very different things of their accountant. For over 35 years, JRH & Associates has served clients across more than 30 industries throughout Long Island, New York City, Florida, and the rest of the country, and that breadth means we arrive already understanding the rules, deductions, and risks that shape your bottom line.
Below are some of the industries we work with most. Each page goes into the specific tax and accounting issues that matter for that field. If you do not see your industry here, it does not mean we cannot help. Reach out and we will tell you exactly how we work with businesses like yours. Explore our full range of accounting and tax services or contact us for a free consultation.

"The fastest way to overpay your taxes is to hire someone who does not understand your industry. We make a point of knowing the rules that govern each field we serve, because the right deduction or the right entity structure often comes down to details that are unique to your line of work."

Industry accounting, answered.
Every industry has its own tax rules, common deductions, reporting conventions, and audit risks. A construction contractor and a dental practice face entirely different questions around revenue recognition, depreciation, payroll, and sales tax. When your accountant already understands your industry, you spend less time explaining your business and more time benefiting from advice that actually fits it.
Yes. The pages here cover some of our most common industries, but JRH & Associates serves clients across more than 30 industries throughout Long Island, New York City, Florida, and the rest of the country. If you do not see your field listed, call us at (516) 794-5752. We research each client's industry so our advice reflects your specific financial environment, not a generic template.
Both. We prepare individual returns for professionals such as agents, brokers, physicians, and tradespeople, and we handle the full business side for the practices, firms, and companies they own or operate. Many of our clients rely on us for their personal and business taxes together, which lets us plan across both.
