Today's tax laws are complicated

We make a complicated return simple.

Filing a relatively simple return can be confusing. It is just too easy to overlook deductions and credits to which you are entitled. Even if you use a computer software program, there's no substitute for the assistance of an experienced tax professional.

On your own

  • Overlooked deductions & credits
  • Confusing forms and math
  • Higher risk of IRS contact

What we do

A broad range of services, from one firm

We offer a broad range of services for business owners, executives, and independent professionals — from tax preparation and planning to financial planning and full business support.

Services for Individuals

One-on-one guidance that helps manage risk and improve performance.

  • Personal Financial Planning

    One-on-one guidance and a comprehensive financial plan that helps manage risk, improve performance, and ensure the growth and longevity of your wealth.

  • Retirement Planning

    Do not put retirement planning on the back burner. Use a tax professional to plan ahead now, and reap the benefits later.

  • Estate Planning

    The hassles and red tape associated with estate planning can be daunting — but you don’t need to do it alone. Our team will assist you through every step.

Business Services

We take care of your business for you, so you can get back to running it.

  • Small Business Bookkeeping

    You have more important things to do than keep your own books. We take care of them for you, so you can get back to running your business and generating profits.

  • Payroll

    Payroll solutions that meet your business’s needs and let you spend time doing what you do best — running your company.

  • Strategic & Succession Planning

    Preparing a strategic plan clarifies your company’s direction; a well-designed succession plan is essential to a family business surviving from one generation to the next.

  • New Business Formation

    Opening your own business is exciting — it’s everything that comes after that dictates whether a small business makes it. We help you start on solid footing.

Tax Services

Very efficient, affordable, and of course, extremely discreet.

  • Tax Preparation

    According to a GAO study, most taxpayers (77% of 71 million) believe they benefited from using a professional tax preparer. We prepare accurate returns and file them electronically.

  • Tax Planning

    Planning is the key to legally reducing your tax liability. We go beyond compliance and proactively recommend tax-saving strategies to maximize your after-tax income.

  • Tax Problems

    We’re here to help you resolve your tax problems and put an end to the misery the IRS can put you through — efficiently, affordably, and discreetly.

QuickBooks Services

QuickBooks is the ideal business accounting software for small to mid-sized business owners — we help you set it up, learn it, and keep it running.

On the wrong side of the IRS?

We help you resolve tax problems — discreetly.

We can assist if you find yourself on the wrong side of the IRS. We’re here to help you resolve your tax problems and put an end to the misery the IRS can put you through. We pride ourselves on being very efficient, affordable, and of course, extremely discreet.

  • Non-Filed Tax Returns

    Failing to file is a criminal offense — let us give you the peace of mind you deserve and get you back in the system.

  • Back Taxes Owed

    Filed but couldn’t pay? Penalties and interest add up fast. We help you settle what’s owed on the best terms available.

  • Payroll Tax Problems

    The IRS treats unpaid payroll taxes as the cardinal sin of delinquency. Penalties are severe — we help you act quickly.

  • IRS Liens

    A federal tax lien attaches to all of your assets. We help you understand your options and protect what you own.

  • IRS Levies

    A levy seizes wages, bank accounts and more. We work to stop the damage and get your immediate situation under control.

  • IRS Wage Garnishment

    When the IRS takes most of your paycheck, we step in to help release the garnishment and restore your income.

  • IRS Seizures

    A seizure takes physical assets — your home or car. Don’t take it lightly; we help you respond before it goes that far.

  • IRS Payment Plan

    If you don’t qualify for an Offer in Compromise, a payment plan buys you time — and we may be able to get penalties removed.

  • Offer In Compromise

    You may be able to settle your debt with the IRS for less than the full amount you owe. We assess whether you qualify.

  • Bankruptcy

    For those who qualify, back taxes, interest and penalties can be discharged. Proper pre-bankruptcy planning is key.

  • Get Your IRS File

    You can obtain a copy of your IRS file. Done right, it’s critical to analyzing every option to resolve your problem.

Talk to someone who has seen it before — discreetly, and for free.
