At the core of our practice is everyone’s favorite form, the 1040. Individuals, couples and families need the 1040 each year. We go above and beyond to maximize the proper deductions for your particular tax return.
There are a variety of entities and forms, and we cover them all – from Corporations and Partnerships to Trusts and Associations. We take away the stress by working with you to help gather the information you rely upon to operate your business.
We focus on the most current tax topics like same-sex marriage and the Affordable Care Act. As the tax code changes each year, we adjust and adapt accordingly.
QuickBooks is a vital part of any small business and we can recommend the proper options and guidance. In certain situations, we provide solutions that are not strictly QuickBooks. There are alternatives.
The hallmark of our practice is meeting each client personally, face-to-face. Together, we mutually determine the exact nature of the engagement, and more importantly we establish our relationship.
Our practice has been described by many people as “family style accounting”. We strive to treat each client as family of our own as well as understanding each person’s needs. The Form 1040 has many facets, and we add value across a wide spectrum of issues. Our nation’s tax laws are constantly changing. We take the time to explain how these changes impact you and your family, both now and in the future.
Tax Planning is a year-round process, and if you find yourself constantly owing a lot of money to the IRS each year, then you could benefit from this service. We have ongoing discussions with our clients to provide a reasonably accurate forecast of the upcoming tax situation. When you are forewarned in advance, you have time to take the appropriate steps to anticipate and adjust.
If you are a business owner, then you know operating your business is itself a full-time job and there is precious little time for the Accounting function. That is where we can become your greatest asset.
Startups have many decisions to make. Deciding on the proper type of entity that fits your business model is just the beginning. From there, choices must be made as to the selection of accounting software, how to keep track of your books, and how to pay your employees. We can help you with proven solutions that save time, and surprisingly cost very little.
Ultimately, all of our work becomes the foundation for the preparation of the business tax return. Again, we are here to help you. We prepare tax returns for Partnerships, C-Corporations, and S-Corporations. Most business tax returns must be seamlessly integrated with the personal tax return, and we are equipped with the tools and resources necessary to make this happen for you.
If you find yourself spending time in a frustrating attempt to become an accountant, we can simplify your accounting processes substantially. Our bookkeeping solutions can be scaled to your specific business needs. Your accounting records are essential to providing insightful financial information about your business. Having a professional manage this process is critical to the efficiency and productivity of your organization. Working together throughout the process relieves pressure and anxiety, because constant communication is at the core of our culture.
It is our goal to provide a comprehensive service for our clients, and often their needs exceed our areas of expertise. Therefore, we have built a network of other professionals like attorneys, real estate brokers, insurance agents and financial planners, with whose services we have the confidence to recommend.
The origin of the practice arose from the simple premise of helping people. Throughout my career, the moments that provided the greatest sense of accomplishment involved being placed in roles of absolute trust. What matters most is the ability to make a lasting difference in people’s lives, and I accomplish this through the preparation of tax returns and bookkeeping. Making a difference through honesty and integrity, while upholding the high, ethical standards of my profession is what I do. Simple as that.
Since that first day in January of 2009, we have grown significantly. In the last several years, a team of young professionals has been assembled. Together we occupy our small, vibrant office on the southern edge of Carrollwood. Our investment in the team concept has raised the level of our capabilities, and the quality of our services. We are very excited for the future and look forward to sharing that feeling with you as well.
Send us a message and we will get back to you ASAP!
