Ask early
Months of planning beat days of panic.
Why January is always a panic
Because the information was requested in December, from records nobody kept through the year.
How we work
Early, explained, and on fixed fees
Preparing a return early costs exactly the same as preparing it late, and it gives you months to plan for the liability instead of days. The only reason it happens late is that nobody asked for the information sooner.
Bookkeeping through the year makes that possible. Records kept current turn year-end into a review rather than a reconstruction, and reconstruction is where both cost and errors live.
And fees should be fixed. Clients who are charged by the six-minute unit stop asking questions, which is exactly backwards — the questions are where an accountant is actually useful.
