Yes, for prospective clients looking to engage us to prepare current or back year tax returns, those looking for assistance with their business accounting, and those with back IRS or state tax matters that you would like our help to remediate, or those facing a Federal or State tax audit or being contacted by taxing agencies.

We find that at times there are situations where someone has tax questions or needs business advice and is looking for advice specific to their situation but does not need to engage us to provide services outside of some advice in a one-hour consultation. We can provide this service but it is not a free service. Our consultation services for these matters are $350 per hour with a 1 hour minimum. If you would like to schedule a paid consultation to discuss your situation with a licensed accountant, please email our office and speak with one of our staff members and we will get you scheduled a Zoom session.

Should you decide to engage us to represent you based on the discussion of your meeting, we will credit

the $350 fee to your first invoice on that matter.
