Practice Areas
I am dedicated to providing you with expert, cost-effective and personalized customer service that is as unique as you are. No two tax returns or businesses are alike, and I tailor my services to each client based on your individual needs.
Individual Tax
The goal of individual income tax service is to prepare and file a complete and accurate tax return in full compliance with the law, while taking advantage of every legal option to minimize your taxes and give you peace of mind. Contact me for a free tax organizer.
Services include:
-
Providing no-cost tax organizers to help you get started, obtain records, and provide them to me to help ensure the most complete and accurate tax return
-
Preparing and filing individual income taxes (available in all 50 states)

Business Tax
Business returns (including corporations and partnerships) have different requirements from individual returns. Some additional needs include income and payroll taxes, monthly accounting, and bookkeeping.
Services are similar to individual tax preparation, but focus on your company.
