Filing vs. planning

Anyone can file what you hand them. Planning is where the money is.

A preparer who sees you once a year in April can only record history. We plan your tax position through the year — entity structure, timing, deductions, estimated payments — so the return in April simply confirms a number you already expected.

Fair questions

Before you book.

What does tax preparation cost?

It depends on the return's complexity, and you'll get a fixed quote at the free consultation before any work starts. No surprise bills.

I use TurboTax. Why pay a CPA?

Software asks questions; it can't spot the ones you didn't know to answer. A CPA reviews your whole position — entity, timing, deductions — and signs the return. One found deduction often covers the fee.

I haven't filed in a couple of years. Can you help?

Yes — without judgment. We prepare the back-year returns, negotiate the delinquency with the IRS or state, and set up a payment plan if needed. The sooner you start, the less it costs.

Can you handle both my business and personal returns?

That's the ideal setup — they affect each other, and planning them together is where most savings come from.
