Services
Tax Preparation
We prepare all tax types including income, payroll, estate, and excise taxes using electronic filing. Our CPAs handle international clients, corporations, and individuals while maximizing refunds. Services include e-file processing without banking fees and specialized expertise in S corporation taxation.
Tax Planning
Our proactive approach identifies tax-saving opportunities before year-end through transaction analysis. We advise clients on optimal timing for asset purchases, estate planning, and business transitions to minimize liabilities. This strategic planning avoids reactive 'if only' scenarios common with other preparers.
IRS Representation
Former IRS agents provide audit representation from initial contact through appeals or tax court proceedings. We collaborate with tax attorneys on complex cases and work with former collection specialists to reduce assessed liabilities including interest penalties.
QuickBooks Training
As ProAdvisors, we offer customized QuickBooks training for business owners and accounting staff. Our 20+ years of experience includes system setup, troubleshooting, and both one-on-one and classroom instruction options to improve financial management efficiency.
Forensic Accounting
Our forensic services include litigation support with court-qualified expert testimony since 1990. We investigate financial discrepancies, hidden assets, and business losses with IRS procedural expertise that enhances investigative credibility in legal proceedings.
