A bookkeeper who makes tax season easier.
When a client’s books and accounting aren’t complete, send them to me.
I’ll catch them up, tie them out, and hand you a year-end tax packet organized the way tax preparers actually work.
Before the books reach you, they’re tied out.
I build every year-end packet with the tax preparer in mind. By the time your client’s books reach you, I’ve tied the balance sheet accounts to last year’s tax return, verified account balances against supporting documents, and researched any discrepancies with a written summary of my findings. You, as the tax preparer, open the year-end packet and start on the tax return.
No cleanup. No chasing documents.
What you receive for each client.
One secure login, with a separate folder for each client we share and a folder inside it for each tax year. Nothing sensitive travels by email, and prior years stay in place, so last year’s tax packet is always there for easy reference when you want to look back.
1. Your CPA Portal
