Business & Personal Taxes
Bring us
your jacked-up
hot mess
Lets face it, taxes are not fun.
Think Less
When you’ve done your taxes on time, and they are done right, you can stop thinking… about taxes, that is.
No Overpaying Taxes
“I like paying Uncle Sam too much money!” said no one, ever. When your taxes are done right you only pay what you actually owe.
Audit Stress
Because your taxes are done right, in the case of an audit you can tell the IRS, “Do your worst.” You’ll have nothing to hide.
What Are You Risking Without Us?
First of all, not everyone needs a professional doing their taxes every year. That would be great for us, but just being real!
However, if you own a business, rent property or even just sell you primary residence, you really do need an expert to help you! Rules can change from year to year and out of the box tax software often does not ask the right questions, or you don’t really understand what it is asking. This can lead to a lot of different problems from getting too much money back or not enough! Furthermore, having a relationship with a tax accountant who knows you and your taxes is important, especially when it comes to IRS or State nasty-grams and audits.
Here’s what’s stopping you
Cost, communication, bad prior experience, time, fear, embarrassment, box software making it look easier than it should, bad hair days, maybe your mother’s, brother’s boyfriend did taxes 20 years ago and now does yours…
- You don’t think about it until it’s “too late”
- No one likes confrontation
- It takes time you may not feel you have
- You worry you might lose information in the transition
- It may cost more than what you’re paying now
- You’re just used to things the way they are

There are very few times in life where 1 + 1 = 4, but those are a rare breed, and definitely don’t happen with taxes. In the eyes of the IRS (or state) 1 + 1 = 2, ALWAYS. We have experts in mathology who can make sure all your tax numbers crunch out to the correct solutions.

How To Get Started
Free Initial
Consultation
Meet with our tax queen, Misty, and discuss your tax needs. During this meeting she will ask lots of generic questions, with a bunch of specific follow ups so she can get the best picture of what kind of “jacked-up hot-mess” your taxes might be. This is also a great time for you to feel out whether you will like working with her.
Bring on the Documents
Each year we send out a tax organizer to help you figure out what documents we will need to provide complete and accurate tax returns. The first one is always the scariest, so we recommend taking little bites at a time. We have a secure portal for you to upload the documents directly to our office, so please don’t ever send your sensitive information via email! Once you give us the green light that all the documents are uploaded we will start working our magic and crunching the numbers behind the curtain.
Sign on the
Dotted Line
Once we have the taxes completed to the best of our ability we send you an electronic copy to review. Look those babies over and make sure we didn’t fat-finger any important information. If you are satisfied that we have everything correct put your electronic pen to paper and we handle the rest!
Tax FAQs
How much is this going to cost me?
As is our answer in many areas, it depends! We try to build some flexibility into our pricing, so you first have to choose whether you want the full power of the CPA or do you just want someone to do your taxes for you. Often, Misty will let you know which she recommends. We try hard to keep more money in your pockets so if she doesn’t think you need full wizard powers, she will let you know!
How long does it take to get the taxes completed?
It depends (see!)! Generally, we tell people there is a two-week turnaround, but it can take less time depending on when you are ready to do your taxes. Clearly, it takes less time earlier in the season when there are fewer returns trickling in. We always clearly lay out our required deadlines in order to guarantee on-time filing, though, so you aren’t having to guess. If you miss those deadlines we still try to get you done on time, but we don’t make any promises.
How do I get you all of my stuff?
We are a fully electronic firm and clients never have to step a foot into our office if they don’t want to. No, we weren’t thinking, “pandemic!” We just know our client’s lives are busy AND we also wanted to make sure we could still work during a snow storm or hurricane. Who knew?!?! We do everything electronically, from giving you access to a client portal, where you can upload your tax documents and have access to your returns anywhere you have an internet connection, to having an electronic signature system so you can sign from the hygienic safety (or whatever) of your own phone, tablet or computer.
