Common questions.

Do you only work with businesses, or individuals too?

Both. Many clients are business owners whose personal and business taxes are tied together, and we handle them as one picture. We also work with individuals and families, including high-net-worth households.

Will I actually speak with the person doing my return?

Yes. You have a named senior advisor who knows your file. Our online team answers the phone and gets you to the right person quickly.

How is your fee structured?

Flat fees, quoted in writing before work begins, with scope and deliverables spelled out. No hourly billing and no surprise invoices.

What does strategy before filing actually mean for me?

We look at your income, deductions, entity, and estimated payments during the year, while there's still time to change the outcome. By the time we file, the savings are already locked in.

Can you represent me if I already have a notice or audit underway?

Yes. We file a power of attorney and step in wherever your case stands, whether it's a first notice or an audit in progress.
