Returns prepared from numbers that tie, and estimates you see before the quarter ends.

We prepare the returns a small business actually files: the personal return, the business return, and the quarterly estimates that keep April from turning into a surprise. If we keep the books, the return starts from those figures. If we do not, we start from what you send and we will say when something does not tie.

We do not represent you in front of the IRS. That work belongs to a CPA, an enrolled agent, or a tax attorney. If a notice arrives, we will help you read it and tell you when to hire that person.
