Yes. Documents are uploaded, reviewed and signed through an encrypted client portal with bank-level protection. We never ask you to email sensitive documents unprotected.
That's a large part of what we do. Sole proprietors and Schedule C filers, single- and multi-member LLCs, S-corps, partnerships and corporations. We also prepare K-1s and handle year-end book reconciliation before filing.
Most straightforward personal returns are prepared within a few business days of receiving complete documents. Business returns and multi-year filings take longer, and we'll give you a realistic timeline at the start rather than a hopeful one.
You are far from the first. We handle back filings and amended returns regularly, including cases where earlier returns missed deductions you were entitled to. The sooner we start, the more options remain available.
