Not sure which level fits? That is what the consultation is for. In 30 minutes we will tell you which level matches your business and give you a number.

Tax

Taxes from the team that knows your books.

When we keep your books all year, your return is built from numbers we have already reviewed. Planning happens while there is still time to act on it.

Tax preparation for monthly clients

from $950 per return year

For clients on any monthly level. We prepare from books we have kept and reviewed.

Standalone tax preparation

from $1,500

For books we did not keep. We review them from zero before we prepare the return.

Tax planning

Included at Controller and CFO

Built into the monthly work, so you see what you are likely to owe while you can still act on it.

Rates

Every rate in one place.

Starting rates. Your exact rate depends on volume and complexity, and it is written into your agreement.

How we work

A rhythm you can count on.

The same cadence for every client, at every level.

  1. Weekly

    Coded and reconciled

    Transactions are categorized and matched to the bank, then reviewed by a person.

  2. Monthly

    Close and a written note

    We close the month and send a short note on what changed and what to watch.

  3. Quarterly

    One-on-one

    We sit down with you to talk through results, taxes, and what is coming next.

  4. Any business day

    A person you can reach

    Email or call Monday to Friday, 8 AM to 5 PM Central. A real person answers.

Questions

What owners ask us first.

Which level do I need?

If you need clean books and someone to ask, start with Bookkeeper. If you want your reports explained and your taxes planned during the year, Controller fits. If you are making bigger calls on hiring, pricing, cash, or growth, look at Fractional CFO. On the consultation we will tell you which one matches your business.

Can you just do my taxes?

Yes. Standalone tax preparation starts at $1,500. Since we did not keep the books, we review them from zero before we prepare the return. If you join a monthly level, preparation starts at $950 per return year.

My books are behind. Can you help?

Yes. Catch-up cleanup is priced as your monthly rate times the number of months behind. You can add it into your monthly, or pay it as a lump sum if you are not signing on for monthly work.

Isn’t bookkeeping automated now?

Partly. We use software that categorizes transactions quickly and accurately. Software sorts, and people catch what it misses. Someone on our team reviews every entry, explains what the numbers mean, and calls you when something needs your attention.

Can I lower the fee if I do some of it myself?

No. We do not split the work piecemeal. We own the outcome for your level, so we review everything, including work done in your own tools. That review is how we can stand behind your numbers.

How do I reach you?

Email Vanessa at [email protected] or Terrance at [email protected], Monday to Friday, 8 AM to 5 PM Central. Clients can also send files and messages through the secure client portal.
