Why US Tax Preparation

What practices notice first

Built for busy season

Capacity scales up through the January–April and September crunch, then back down again, with no year-round overhead.

Diagnostic-clean before review

Returns are pre-flagged for issues, so partner review time goes to judgment calls, not data entry mistakes.

Works inside your EFIN

Your firm keeps final review, e-file submission and the client relationship. We prepare, you sign off.

FAQ

Common questions about US Tax Preparation

Do you e-file on our behalf?

We prepare diagnostic-clean, review-ready returns; your firm retains final review and e-file submission under your EFIN.

Can you scale up just for busy season?

Yes. Most CPA firm engagements are seasonal, scaling from a small ongoing pod up to full capacity through the January–April and September crunch periods.

What tax software do you work in?

We work inside whatever your firm already uses, including the major professional suites, so there's no new software for your partners to learn.

Do you prepare state returns as well as federal?

Yes. State return preparation is included alongside federal filings wherever your client has a state filing obligation.

How do you flag issues before a partner reviews the file?

A diagnostic review runs on every return before it reaches a partner, flagging missing documentation or inconsistencies rather than leaving them to be caught at final review.

How is US tax preparation priced?

Most engagements are quoted Per-Return given how seasonal the volume is, with a Fixed Monthly Retainer available for firms that want year-round capacity outside of busy season.

Can you support a firm's first year outsourcing tax prep?

Yes. First-time engagements typically start with a small trial batch during a quieter month, well before peak season, so your partners can review our standard before the volume ramps up.
