Filing done right the first time

Whether you're a single-member LLC filing a Schedule C, an S-corp balancing reasonable compensation against distributions, or an individual with a straightforward W-2, your return should reflect what's actually happening in your business and your life, not a generic template. Garrett prepares every return personally, working from your actual books and financial activity, so what gets filed matches reality and holds up if it's ever questioned.

A second opinion when something feels off

If someone else prepared last year's return and something about it doesn't sit right, whether that's a refund that seemed too small, a deduction you're fairly sure you qualified for but didn't see, or just general uncertainty about whether it was done correctly, a return review is a focused, lower-cost engagement to check the work. You'll get a clear answer on whether it was handled well, and if it wasn't, a path to amend it.

Built around the deadlines that actually matter

Tax prep isn't a once-a-year event here. Quarterly estimated payments, the 75-day S-corp election window, your filing deadline, and extension planning all get tracked proactively, with a heads-up before each one rather than a scramble when it arrives.

The 75-day window matters more than the date most people quote. An S-corp election is due two months and fifteen days after the start of your tax year, so if your business doesn't run on a calendar year, the widely repeated March 15 deadline simply isn't yours.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you prepare both business and personal returns?
Yes. Most clients have both, and having one CPA handle both means nothing falls through the cracks between the two.
What if someone else prepared my return last year and I think it might be wrong?
That's exactly what the return review service is for. Send over last year's return and Garrett will tell you plainly whether it looks right, and what to do next if it doesn't.
Do you only work with S-corps?
No. LLCs, sole proprietors filing Schedule C, partnerships, corporations, and individuals are all common clients. The entity structure work happens on the advisory side if you're not sure which structure fits.
When should I reach out before tax season?
Ideally a few months before your filing deadline, especially if you also want quarterly estimates set up or your books cleaned up first. Reaching out in April with a mess to sort through is still fine, just tighter.
Do you handle quarterly estimated taxes?
Yes, as part of an ongoing engagement, so you're not surprised by a large balance due at filing time.
