New Clients
2025 Tax Filing Season (spring 2026)
Due to capacity reasons, we are unable to bring on new tax or bookkeeping clients for this upcoming tax season. However, we would happily file an extension for you as well as provide you with an estimate or any extension payments that you may need to make.
​
If you are interested, please contact us to set up Client Portal access so that you may provide the necessary information needed to file an extension. To prepare an extension prior to the April 15 deadline we would need your 2024 tax return with changes indicated (address, etc.). A non-refundable fee of $50 to come up with the extension estimated payment can be used against your 2025 tax return preparation fee.
​
We will resume our New Client Process after April 15, 2026.

All of the documents that came in envelopes that said "Important Tax Return Information Enclosed".

Closing statements from any real estate transactions in which you were the buyer or seller.

An income and expense summary for any rentals or small business that you report on your tax return. If you have any depreciating assets, please provide a depreciation schedule with #1.
After April 20, What is your tax preparation process?
Clients will bring (in person) their tax documents or upload (video conference or telephone) their tax documents and we will complete the tax return during the 1 hr appointment or have a checklist of what is needed to complete the return.
How is the process different for business returns?
An income statement and balance sheet are needed to prepare a business return.
We like to focus on getting these done in January or after April 15.
