Harding University Area is one of Searcy's distinctive business communities. The Harding campus-serving district. Whether you run a storefront, a service company, or a home-based venture here, Tides Bookkeeping keeps your books accurate, categorized, and ready for tax season - without you ever leaving Harding University Area.
As part of the greater Searcy, AR economy within White County, Harding University Area businesses share the same Arkansas tax and compliance landscape as the rest of the area. Our remote-first process means you get a dedicated bookkeeper and clean monthly financials no matter where in Searcy you are located - reconciled accounts, categorized transactions, and monthly profit-and-loss and balance-sheet reporting you can actually use.
Arkansas has one of the fastest-falling income taxes in the country - the top rate has been cut four times since 2021, from 6% to 3.9% for 2025 and now 3.7% for 2026 - and effective January 1, 2026 it eliminated the state sales tax on groceries (local grocery taxes still apply). But the combined sales tax stays high: the 6.5% state rate stacks with county and city rates to reach the high single or low double digits, varying sharply by location. Charging the right combined rate for each city and county - and keeping the books clean as the income tax keeps dropping - is exactly what we do.
