Every engagement gets the same care, Chris’s signature, and a clear quote before any work starts.

From a single return to a full year of strategy. If you’d rather not pick service by service, the three plans bundle the usual combinations.

Individual tax

Individual returns (Form 1040)

Federal and state income tax preparation for individuals, families, retirees, and the self-employed — from a straightforward W-2 return to a multi-state situation with rentals and K-1s.

Rental income, investment gains, a side business, retirement distributions, or simply a second set of expert eyes on your return: every one is reviewed and signed by Chris before filing.

Clients in all 50 states. Returns are prepared and delivered through your secure portal — no in-person visit required, though always welcome.

Business tax

Business returns

S-corporations (1120-S), partnerships (1065), C-corporations (1120), and sole proprietors — prepared to find every legitimate deduction while keeping you compliant.

The return is also a planning exercise. Are you in the right entity? Is reasonable compensation set correctly for the S-election? Are you maximizing depreciation? Those questions get answered as part of the engagement, not as an upsell.

Get started

  • Federal business return (1120-S, 1065, or 1120)
  • State business return(s)
  • Schedule K-1 for every partner or shareholder

  • Reasonable-compensation analysis (S-corps)
  • Entity structure advisory note

Plus software fees. Priced on complexity, quoted after intake.
Bookkeeping

Monthly bookkeeping

Clean, categorized, reconciled books, closed by the 15th of every month in QuickBooks Online. No surprises at tax time.

Most owners know their bank balance but not their profit. Monthly bookkeeping changes that: a real profit-and-loss statement and balance sheet every month, so you run the business on facts rather than a feeling.

Get started

What’s included

  • Monthly transaction categorization
  • Bank and credit-card reconciliation
  • QuickBooks Online management
  • Monthly P&L and balance sheet
  • Open-items resolution
  • Year-end books ready for the return
  • Secure document portal
  • Close by the 15th
Starting at
$400/mo
Plus software fees. Scoped to transaction volume; cleanup and catch-up work quoted after intake.
Tax planning

Tax planning & advisory

Year-round strategy, not April compliance: Roth conversion analysis, IRMAA cliff planning, QBI optimization, Social Security timing, retirement income sequencing.

An advisory engagement starts with a planning questionnaire and a hard look at your current and projected tax picture. You get a written strategy memo with specific, actionable recommendations — not general advice.

Get started

What’s included

  • Tax situation review and questionnaire
  • Multi-year tax projection
  • Roth conversion opportunity analysis
  • IRMAA Medicare premium planning
  • Social Security optimization
  • QBI deduction maximization
  • Entity structure review
  • Written strategy memo, delivered to your portal
  • Follow-up call to walk through it
Starting at
$500
Written plan with a three-year projection. A 20-minute planning call is $100, credited to the plan. Included year-round in Planned and Partnered. Consulting outside a plan is $250 an hour.
IRS & state notices

Notice response

A CP2000, a CP14, an audit letter, a state notice: don’t answer it alone. Chris analyzes the notice, writes the response, and represents you before the IRS or the state.

Florida and Mississippi Department of Revenue notices as well as all IRS correspondence. First-time penalty abatement and reasonable-cause requests are included where they apply.
