A tax engagement, start to finish.

Simple, predictable, and transparent — from first call to filed return.

  1. Step 01

    Free discovery call

    We review your situation, last year's return, and anything that changed — equity, a new business, a move.

  2. Step 02

    Checklist & fixed quote

    You get a tailored document checklist and a fixed fee before any work begins.

  3. Step 03

    Prepare, review & file

    We prepare your return, walk you through it, and e-file once you approve.

Questions, answered.

Who do you prepare taxes for?

Individuals and households, self-employed professionals, founders and executives with equity compensation, and small businesses structured as S-Corps, C-Corps, LLCs, or partnerships.

How is tax preparation priced?

Each engagement is quoted up front after a free discovery call, based on the complexity of your situation. You'll know the fee before any work begins.

Can you help with stock options and RSUs?

Yes. We model ISO and NSO exercise timing, AMT exposure, RSU withholding gaps, and 83(b) elections so there are no surprises at filing time.

Do you work with clients outside California?

Yes. We prepare federal and state returns for clients in all 50 states, including multi-state situations like part-year residency, moves, and remote work. Documents, e-signatures, and review calls are all handled remotely.

What do I need to get started?

Your prior-year returns plus this year's W-2s, 1099s, K-1s, and brokerage or equity statements. After the discovery call we send a checklist tailored to your situation.

Can you keep my books after tax season?

Yes. Many clients add monthly bookkeeping or CFO support once we know their numbers — it also makes next year's return faster and more accurate.

Once we've done your taxes, we know your books. Many of our ongoing clients started with a tax engagement. If your financials need work — messy books, no budget, no cash visibility — ask about monthly support.
