Trustworthy. Professional. Responsive. Personal
Just Better
 
Income tax preparers are all different. Some emphasize their firm size and history, some talk about their credentials and experience and yet others promise you the lowest price for tax preparation. How does one choose the best tax preparer for their individual, business, nonprofit, or trust return?We think you should consider the following when you are trying to find a tax return preparer:
 
  • Qualifications are important. Tax regulations change all the time, and it takes resources to keep up with it all.  I am a certified public accountant who is required to take at least 40 hours of continuing professional education every year. I spend a lot more time than that on CPE and daily reading to ensure I am on top of regulatory changes and tax court rulings.
  • Mutual respect is essential. You should feel comfortable asking your tax return preparer questions about how they prepare your tax return without feeling intimidated. I enjoy answering your questions and educating you on your tax situation, and I equip you with steps you can take to lower your taxes next year.
  • Price is a key factor but make sure you know how comprehensive the tax preparation service is. Many tax professionals are missing in action between April 15  your engagement letter. Can you count on their help? Will they charge you to correct errors they made? If you call with a question, will you receive a bill for it? If you are looking for an income tax preparer who you can trust to file your taxes correctly and efficiently, and stand by you if the IRS comes knocking, you have come to the right place. I would love to meet you, answer your questions, and provide a quote. Just give me a call!
