IMPORTANT - - -
As of 01.01.23 we are not taking on any additional new clients.
We have MORE than enough work at this time and we need to focus on that work. 
You can contact us for referrals.

We thank you for your interest!



Your time is valuable and we don't want to promise you anything we cannot deliver.

Before we can decide whether or not we can commit to providing you with services, we have to make sure we understand your business and its needs.  You can provide the following information in an email narrative or even print this page and jot down your answers next to the questions as many answers are one-word answers.
 
Once we get the answers to these basic questions, we will let you know if we feel we can provide you with the services you need. If yes, we will let you know and you can then move forward with accumulating the information on the following pages.
 
Please tell us a bit about your business and personal situations….
 
How many years have you been in business?
What type of legal entity is your business (incorporated, partnership, sole proprietor)?
If your business is a LLC, what type of form is used (schedule E,C, 1120s, 1065, 1120) to report the activity?
Do you provide services and if yes, what type (attorney, real estate broker, consulting, etc)?
Do you provide products and if yes, what products? 
If you sell products, do you maintain and track inventory?
Payroll and contract services....
   Do you have employees (W2) and/or independent contractors (1099s)?
   Do you need quarterly / annual payroll tax returns?
   Do you have any NON Georgia withholding on your employees?
Do you collect sales tax and would you need us to prepare/file the returns?
Do you file a property tax return with your County?

Do you have foreign income and/or assets that affect your business or personal taxes?
    We can discuss but we are not accepting client with foreign income or assets as potential penalties are too high.
    We would have to have you complete form 8938 and or the FIN Cen form.
www.irs.gov/businesses/comparison-of-form-8938-and-fbar-requirements
     ^--- Please visit this link for more info on Foreign assets/income for more information including penalties.

Crypto/digital currency - - This activity is pretty much like dealing with stocks. 
You have to summarize your gains and losses and we will then report appropriately.  
We do NOT do the summary of your activity. 
​That should be done by the site handling your online activity.
It should be a clear summarized report showing short term and long term totals.

Do you do a "back door roth IRA"?
We provide that service but you MUST let us know that is what you are doing.
We also charge extra because it does involve experience, record keeping, and extra reporting that spans more than 1 year.

Do you have or expect a "net operating loss" (NOL) in your business?
If yes, let us know so we can discuss,

Are you OK with using email to communicate? 
We send out periodic emails that are time sensitive depending on your needs, are you pretty good with replying to emails timely?
Do you pay your taxes timely?
Are you OK with paying and filing taxes online?
Are you fine with extending the filing deadline of your tax returns?
Do you need file income State tax returns OTHER than Georgia?
   If yes, what States?
What software do you use to maintain your ledger?
Do you use or are you willing to use remote access software?
 
 
Once we get a full understanding of the above we can then move on to the following questions to get more detail.
For now, let's just focus on the above.
