BEFORE WE BEGIN

Your questions,
answered.

Can we start with a free consultation?

Yes. Tell us about your business, your current setup and what you need help with. We will outline a proposed scope and a personalized quote before you decide.

Are all of these costs tax-deductible?

Not automatically. We review the business purpose, supporting records and applicable rules. Personal costs, inventory, equipment and other capital costs can require different treatment.

Which documents should I prepare?

Start with client invoices & project contracts, equipment purchase documents, software and studio invoices. Our intake questionnaire and follow-up questions help build a checklist for your situation.

Can you support us throughout the year?

Yes. We can discuss year-round tax planning, tax preparation and payroll support as part of a scope that fits your business. Timing, responsibilities and fees are agreed before work begins.

Your situation is one part of the picture.

Your industry shapes your business. Your income, family and plans shape the rest of your tax picture.
