Navigating taxes with precision planning.
Some tax firms only operate in April and October.
We work for you all year long.
Our Annual Client Timeline
Client Onboarding
(When Capacity Allows)
We review our capacity and take on new clients several times throughout the year.
By doing this we ensure that every return we commit to is done with care and filed on time.
Once the client has been referred by their advisor or waived their advisor services, we will create their secure client portal. The client portal is the safest way to upload sensitive documents and communicate with us directly using our internal messaging system.
In order to ensure we understand the client's full tax situation, we will review previous year's returns for accuracy and to ensure that the client has claimed all relevant credits and deductions. From this review we will assemble a cost estimate for tax preparation in the next tax season.
Once the client has reviewed our proposal, we will send a contract and request for deposit. Clients that do not have a contract or deposit on file will not have their place guaranteed in the next tax season.
January
The beginning of the tax year is focused on getting organized and collecting appropriate tax documents.
In January, we deliver checklists to remind clients of potential tax opportunities and the documents they may need to locate in order to file their return. If there are any missing items, this gives the time to retrieve them well before the tax deadline.
March & April
To ensure all returns are filed by the April 15 deadline, tax documents are due March 15.
Using the tax organizer and client portal for reference, we will communicate with clients to collect remaining documents needed for the tax return. All documents are due by March 15 for clients that wish to have their return filed by the April 15 deadline. Any client that has missing documents after that time will automatically have an extension filed on their behalf. We will do everything in our power to file before the deadline, but we are unable to guarantee results after that time.
Before each return is filed with federal and state authorities, we will consult with the client and/or advisor to review the results of the tax return. Any questions or corrections can be made before we formally file the return.
September & October
To ensure all extensions are filed by the October 15 deadline, tax documents are due September 15.
Using the tax organizer and client portal for reference, we will communicate with clients to collect remaining documents needed for the tax return. All documents are due by September 15 for clients that wish to have their return filed by the October 15 deadline. Any client that has missing documents after that time will automatically have an extension filed on their behalf. We will do everything in our power to file before the deadline, but we are unable to guarantee results after that time.
Before each return is filed with federal and state authorities, we will consult with the client and/or advisor to review the results of the tax return. Any questions or corrections can be made before we formally file the return.
