01 — What's Included

Thorough, accurate, year-over-year aware.

Tax preparation isn't data entry. We review, ask, and check — then file.

i.

Return Preparation

Federal and state returns prepared, reviewed, and electronically filed by an Enrolled Agent.

  • Federal 1040 + all schedules
  • State & local returns
  • Small business: Schedule C, S-corp, K-1
  • Retirement income reporting
ii.

Year-Over-Year Review

We compare your current return to prior years and flag changes that deserve a conversation — not just numbers that moved.

  • Bracket & marginal rate trends
  • Deduction & credit comparison
  • Investment tax drag review
  • Withholding & estimated tax check
iii.

Filing & Support

Secure document portal, electronic signatures, e-filing, and direct access to the person who prepared the return if questions arise.

  • Secure, encrypted document portal
  • Electronic signature & e-filing
  • IRS/state notice support
  • Representation where licensed
02 — Who We Prepare For

Returns that have outgrown simple software.

We prepare for individuals, families, retirees, and small business owners whose returns involve more than a W-2 and a mortgage deduction.

i.

Individuals & Families

W-2 income, investment accounts, real estate, multiple states, dependents, and the day-to-day complexity most software quietly misses.

ii.

Retirees

Social Security, pensions, annuities, RMDs, Roth conversions — and the multi-account withdrawal math most preparers don't touch.

iii.

Self-Employed & Small Business

Schedule C, S-corp, partnerships, rental real estate, and K-1s — with entity-level planning questions answered, not dodged.

iv.

Equity Compensation

RSUs, ISOs, NSOs, ESPP, AMT calculations, and the timing questions where a bad return reveals a missed planning window.

03 — The Difference

Why work with an Enrolled Agent — and a fiduciary planner.

The Enrolled Agent credential is the highest certification the IRS confers on a tax professional — granted by examination or by experience at the IRS itself.

But the real difference isn't the credential. It's that tax doesn't stop when the return is filed. Most preparers see your numbers once a year. We see the decisions year-round — and that's where the real value gets created.

If you want preparation alone, we prepare. If you want preparation plus the year-round thinking that turns filing into strategy, that's where this becomes something more.

04 — How It Works

A straightforward four-step process.

Step One

Initial conversation

We talk through your situation, what you're looking for, and whether stand-alone prep or prep plus planning makes more sense.

Step Two

Secure document upload

You upload your documents to our encrypted portal at your own pace. We follow up with a focused list of anything missing.

Step Three

Preparation & review

We prepare the return, run a year-over-year review, flag planning opportunities, and walk through the draft with you.

Step Four

E-sign and file

You e-sign, we e-file, and you receive a secure PDF for your records — along with any planning follow-ups that surfaced.

The Real Value

Filing is the snapshot. Strategy is the rest of the year.

For most people, the return is a reactive exercise — you report what already happened. The highest-value tax work is the opposite: proactive, year-round, and often tied to decisions that have nothing to do with April.

Clients who come to us for preparation often stay for planning — not because we upsell, but because a single return makes it obvious how much is being left on the table by waiting until April to think about tax.

What preparation alone misses

  • Roth conversion roomAn unused low-bracket year disappears on December 31.
  • 0% capital-gains harvestingVisible only if someone is modeling income proactively.
  • Asset locationThe wrong investment in the wrong account quietly costs thousands a year.
  • Equity compensation timingSell decisions made without planning can create AMT and concentration risk.
  • Bracket managementMulti-year strategy often saves more than a single year of deductions ever will.
