Getting started
Do you offer a free consultation?
Yes. Every new client gets a complimentary 20-minute consultation to discuss your situation — no obligation, no pressure.
How do I become a client?
Call us, submit our contact form, or upload documents through the secure client portal. We'll respond within one business day to get started.
Do you work with clients outside of Cincinnati?
Absolutely. We work with clients across Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana and beyond via our secure client portal and phone/video meetings.
Pricing & billing
How much do your services cost?
Most engagements are quoted at a flat fee after your initial consultation, so you know the total before we begin. Complex or ongoing work is scoped and priced clearly upfront.
Do you offer payment plans?
For larger engagements, yes — we're happy to discuss payment options that work for you.
Tax preparation
What documents do I need to bring for tax prep?
W-2s, 1099s, mortgage & property tax statements, charitable donation receipts, investment statements (1099-B/DIV/INT), K-1s, and last year's return. We send every client a personalized checklist.
Can you e-file my return?
Yes, we e-file nearly all federal and state returns for fastest refund turnaround.
How long does tax prep take?
Most personal returns are completed within 1–2 weeks of receiving all documents. Business returns typically take 2–4 weeks depending on complexity.
Do you handle multi-state returns?
Yes — Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana and beyond, including city and RITA filings.
IRS problems
Can you help me if I received an IRS notice?
Yes. IRS resolution is one of our core specialties. We handle everything from small notices to audits, back taxes, wage garnishments and offers in compromise.
Will the IRS still call me directly?
Once we file Form 2848 (Power of Attorney), the IRS communicates with us instead of you in nearly all cases.
I haven't filed in years. Am I in trouble?
You're not the first — and getting current is almost always better than staying silent. We help clients catch up on unfiled returns and negotiate manageable resolutions with the IRS.
Can you stop a wage garnishment?
In most cases, yes — often within days of engagement. We move fast when a garnishment or levy is active.
Small business
Do you handle payroll?
Yes, full-service payroll for small teams — direct deposit, tax filings, W-2s, 1099s and new hire reporting.
Do you use QuickBooks?
Yes, both Online and Desktop. We do setup, cleanup, training and ongoing monthly bookkeeping.
Can you help me choose the right entity for my business?
Absolutely. We advise on LLC, S-Corp, partnership and C-Corp structures based on your goals, income and long-term plans.
