Kontoführung und steuerliche Vorbereitung
Explanation:
Kontoführung = account handling
That's not quite the same as "account preparation", but is the only way of saying it as a noun. The other possibility would be:

"kontomäßige und steuerliche Vorbereitung"

Buchfuehrung und Steuervorbereitung

Explanation:
Just a thought:

"preparation" may not also refer to the "accounts"-bit.

As far as the content goes, this makes sense: Someone does the accounts bit completely before it gets to the worrying-about-tax stage.
