Tax Services Questions
Can you represent me before the IRS?
Yes. As an IRS Enrolled Agent (EA), we are federally authorized to represent taxpayers before the IRS in all 50 states, including audits, notices, appeals, and collections.
How can I maximize my tax refund or minimize my tax liability?
We analyze your income, expenses, credits, and deductions to ensure you pay the least amount legally required while remaining fully compliant.
When should I start preparing for taxes?
Year-round. Early planning allows us to identify opportunities, optimize strategies, and reduce surprises at filing time.
What documents do you need to prepare my tax return?
Common documents include income forms (W-2s, 1099s, K-1s), prior-year tax returns, business financial statements, and receipts. We provide a clear checklist to make the process simple.
Can you help with past-due or back taxes?
Yes. We assist with late filings, back taxes, payment plans, and penalty resolution to help you get back into compliance and regain peace of mind.
Do I need to pay estimated taxes quarterly?
If you are self-employed or have significant non-withheld income, estimated tax payments are usually required. We calculate and guide these payments to avoid penalties and manage cash flow.

We perform a thorough review of your financial situation to identify all eligible deductions and credits while ensuring compliance with tax laws.

Bookkeeping & Accounting Questions
Do all small businesses need a bookkeeper?
Yes. Professional bookkeeping keeps your finances accurate, organized, and compliant. It saves time, reduces costly errors, and gives you clear financial information to make better business decisions.
How much does bookkeeping and accounting cost?
Pricing depends on your business size, transaction volume, and complexity. After an initial consultation, we provide clear pricing options, including custom packages and flat-fee solutions tailored to your needs.

Outsourcing can save 40–70% compared to hiring in-house staff, while delivering expert-level accuracy, reliable reporting, and financial insights that support growth and reduce tax risk.

Not always. A qualified bookkeeping and accounting professional can accurately record, organize, and reconcile your financial transactions. We also integrate bookkeeping with tax strategy to ensure full compliance.
How do we transition to your services from another accountant or bookkeeper?
We make the transition smooth and stress-free. We review your existing records, coordinate with prior providers if needed, and set up a structured onboarding plan so your operations continue without disruption.

Bookkeeping services typically range from 0.5% to 2% of monthly revenue, depending on the scope and complexity. This investment delivers clarity, compliance, and long-term savings.
