The tax due dates are returning to the regular schedule; pre-Covid. Partnerships and S-Corporation business returns are due March 15. Personal (Individual) and C-Corporations are due April 15.

Beginning in mid to late January our office hours will be Monday – Thursday 9:30 am to 5:30 pm and Friday 9:30 am – 5:00 pm.  After April 15th we will return to regular hours Monday – Thursday 10:00 am to 5:00 pm and closed on Friday.

For those who prefer not to come into the office, or if our office hours do not meet your schedule please use our secure client portal (Verifyle). You can upload your tax documents and communicate via this secure client portal (email); or phone calls and then by utilizing the e-signatures in Verifyle to complete the return. This will save you time by eliminating the trips to the office.

Services Offered in Addition to Tax Preparation

We have expanded and now offer Family Office Services.  The Family Office focuses on the integration of tax, wealth, and risk management into one cohesive experience. Typically, in financial services, advice is segregated to very specific expertise versus being connected across the different financial services disciplines.  Creating a cohesive and integrated plan can have the same impact once only reserved for the wealthiest. It is now available to every American family.

Why You Need a Family Office

We see that too many of our clients suffer from the conflicts, high costs, and inefficiencies that result from working with multiple, often competing financial firms. We have made it possible for every American family to enjoy the advantages that were once only available to the ultra-wealthy.  We can do taxes first, then a math analysis at no cost to you to see if your current portfolio is right for you.

Those advantages include lower costs, smarter tax treatment, and a holistic approach to preserving, protecting, and growing your wealth.

Our vision for a brighter future is to provide the professionals, the expertise, the systems, and operational controls required to deliver the family office experience.

We also offer more consulting services such as data analytics using different Business Intelligence (BI) tools to solve more complex business problems for our clients. This side of the business has been expanding recently and we foresee BI services growing more in the future.
