Start with what describes you

Pick the one that fits. You’ll see what we can help with, in plain words, and what to bring to a first meeting.

Which describes you?

You want your return done right and someone to ask when a letter or a life change raises a question.

  • Tax return preparation

    We prepare and file your federal and Missouri returns, and walk you through anything that changed from last year.

  • Letters from the IRS or the state

    Bring the letter. We read it with you, explain what it is asking for and what your options are.

  • Planning for a change

    A new job, a move, a marriage or a new baby. We look at what it means for your taxes before the year ends, not after.

What happens at your first consultation

No forms to fill in beforehand and no pressure to sign up. Four steps, in this order.

  1. Ask for a time

    Use the form below or call. We reply to confirm a time that works for you.

  2. Gather a few papers

    We send the checklist for your situation, the same one shown above, so you know exactly what to bring.

  3. Talk it through

    At the office on Spring Street or by video. Bring every question; nothing is too small to ask.

  4. Get it in writing

    You leave with a plain summary of what you need and a written quote. Nothing starts until you agree.

What clients say

This is a sample site, so there are no reviews to show. On a real site, this space holds reviews that clients have agreed to share, with their first name and the service they used. Nothing here is ever written by the firm itself.

Questions people ask us

Short answers here. Longer ones at your consultation.

Do I have to wait until tax season to call?

No. Questions come up all year: a new job, a letter, a business idea. Call when the question comes up, while there is still time to plan.

I’m behind on my bookkeeping. Can you still help?

Yes. Catch-up bookkeeping is common. We start from your last reliable records and bring everything up to date, then keep it current if you want us to.

What will it cost?

It depends on what you need. After your first consultation you get a written quote, and no work begins until you have agreed to it.

I got a letter from the IRS. What should I do?

Don’t set it aside. Letters often include a date to respond by, so call soon and bring the letter to your consultation. We explain what it says and what your options are.

Can we meet by video?

Yes. Many first consultations happen by video. You can share documents ahead of time or hold them up to the camera.

Should my new business be an LLC?

We can explain how each option is taxed and what it would mean for your bookkeeping. The choice also has legal effects, so we suggest you talk with an attorney before deciding.
