ACCOUNTANT 15 YRS•QUICKBOOKS•BOOKKEEPING•TAX RETURNS•25% OFF ALL FEES! (Extensive Accounting•Available To All Locations!)

About This Service

Thanksgiving and holiday greetings. I prepare tax returns for the year 2025, prior years, and file amendments as necessary. If you have changes to your past returns, you can go back up to three years to potentially claim additional refunds. It is possible your previous tax preparer did not identify all eligible deductions.

Bookkeeping Services

Struggling to maintain your books? Feeling burdened by spreadsheet-based accounting? Do you require a comprehensive cleanup and reorganization of your financial records? Please refer to the BOOKKEEPING section below for details.

I am a professional independent accountant and am currently accepting new clients for accounting and tax preparation services.

By operating without the high overhead costs associated with an additional office, staff, and equipment, I am able to offer you the most competitive rates. To facilitate this, I do not meet clients at a physical office. All accounting financial reports, bookkeeping, and tax return work is completed through streamlined communication methods: phone calls, emails, and instant text messaging. I am available daily to meet your deadlines, including days, evenings, weekends, and holidays.

New clients will receive a 25 percent discount on all fees for the first six months. Afterwards, you will continue to benefit from my low ongoing rates. This is an offer you are unlikely to find with other professionals.

Complimentary Consultation

I offer a free consultation prior to commencing work. Please note that this complimentary session is not intended for personal or professional advice. Once you become a client, all personal and business financial matters can be addressed.

Getting Started Is Simple

Each client and I sign a standard Accountant-Client Agreement. To initiate this process, please provide the following information for the agreement:

1. Your full name.
2. Your email address.
3. Your phone number.
4. Your home or business address.
5. Your company name, if applicable, and the state where it was registered.

Upon receiving this information, I will email the agreement to you. For tax return preparation, please email me your tax information, relevant forms, and a digital copy of your most recently filed federal and state tax returns. You may also obtain your tax information by requesting a transcript for each required year from the IRS or state website.

A standard professional client retainer of $400.00 or more is required before services begin. This deposit is applied to your first invoice. If your invoice total is less than the retainer, the difference is refunded to you immediately. Subsequent retainers may be required. Thank you for your understanding.

Bookkeeping

This service prepares your records for your annual tax returns.

You can transition from your current state, whether you have done no accounting, used spreadsheet accounting, to my current offering of specialized, custom-made accounting software for optimal outcomes. I utilize Intuit QuickBooks Online software, the top-rated accounting application. I also extend a 30 percent discount on all QuickBooks monthly subscriptions for your online company file. Monthly subscriptions start as low as $10 per month, which includes the 30 percent discount.

For monthly bookkeeping, I set up automatic downloads of your financial transactions from your bank accounts into QuickBooks. Transactions are automatically categorized and recorded as business-related, tax-deductible expenses. This process helps save on taxes and can increase your potential annual refunds. Extensive bookkeeping is billed at $60 per hour. With your 25 percent or greater discount, your rate is $45 per hour, and this discount continues indefinitely.

Tax Returns

Tax return preparation typically takes approximately one and a half to two and a half hours or more for each federal and state return. The time required varies for each individual. There is no universal flat rate that accommodates everyone\'s needs, so I cannot provide a quote in advance. However, you can be assured from my reviews that I work efficiently and accurately to achieve maximum client savings and refunds.

Electronic filing (e-file) is available for the fastest processing and receipt of refunds.

Business Structure

I can consult and assist you with setting up an LLC, Partnership, or Corporation for your business. Many of my clients operate as S corporations, which offer substantial tax savings.

Individual and business tax return services are available at the following rates:

1. W-2 Employee: $135 per hour. Your 25 percent or greater discount rate is $100 per hour.
2. Individual, extensive/multiple schedule returns, Independent Contractors, Self-Employed Businesses, single-member LLCs, and Nonprofit Organizations: $155 per hour. Your discounted rate is $115 per hour.
3. Partnerships, multi-member LLCs, Corporations (C and S), Estates and Trusts: $175 per hour. Your discounted rate is $130 per hour.
4. Prior-year and amended returns qualify for the same discounts listed above.
