We are here for you twelve months a year, not just during tax season. Whether you have a simple tax question, need advice on the tax implications of a business decision, or want clarification on a government notice, feel free to give us a call.

The answer to question largely depends on your needs.

If you are a small business owner or entrepreneur, an accounting firm can help you focus on your core constituencies without worrying about financial minutia. Unless you have a skilled accountant on board, you will likely save time and money by working with an accounting firm instead of wading through complex financial regulations and tax codes on your own.

If you’re an individual who needs help with your taxes, you should ask your self a couple of questions to help you decide whether or not to use an accounting firm.

Am I confident enough in my own ability to complete my return without making potentially costly errors?

Do I have adequate knowledge about tax policy to file my tax returns on my own?

Do I want to spend valuable time dealing with my taxes?

If you answered “no,” you may consider using a tax firm to help you complete your taxes in a stress free and timely fashion.

A comprehensive estate plan ensures your wishes about your property will be honored. By spelling out exactly how your property will be transferred, it gives you peace of mind that your loved ones will be provided for in the years to come. If you own a business, your estate plan should also include any business succession plans.

Individual tax planning can look like these tasks:

• Tax preparation
  
• Tax planning
  
• IRS and state controversy representation
  
• Residency issues
