Hired on Thumbtack
I was very pleasantly surprise when I meant with Ms. Young about my tax situation. After a short conversation she assured me that my problem was not that bad and that she could have my returns prepared in a few days. She also explained to me how I should prepare for next years taxes and how she could help me with that. Taxes and dealing with the IRS can be very intimidating she right away put me at ease and very easily help me deal with what I thought was going to be a really bad situation. I would highly recommend her to any one complex taxes

My husband and I were new to the area and in search of someone to prepare our taxes. We wanted to find someone that could provide a personal touch and be willing to answer questions whenever we had them. Ms. Young answered all of our questions and even helped us find more funds that were due to us from the government. She and her team were professional, responsive and prepared our returns very quickly. We plan to utilize her services for years to come and have her review some of our past tax returns as well. We are very glad that we found her!

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Every engagement is different, so we provide a custom quote after a free discovery call. You will know the full scope and fee before any work begins.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Every engagement starts with a free discovery call. We listen to where you are today, whether you are behind on taxes, starting a new business, running an established company, or leading a nonprofit, and we talk through what you want to accomplish.
Next, we send a clear proposal with the scope of work and the fee, so you know exactly what to expect before anything begins. Once you sign electronically, we set you up on our secure client portal and send a simple checklist of what we need.
Then we hold a kickoff meeting to learn your business or personal situation in detail and get to work. Depending on your needs, that may mean preparing current or past-due tax returns, setting up or cleaning up your books in QuickBooks, getting payroll running correctly, choosing the right structure for a new business, or building the financial reports your board, lender, or grantors need.
When the work is complete, we walk you through the results in plain language before anything is filed or finalized. For ongoing clients, we settle into a regular rhythm of monthly bookkeeping, quarterly check-ins, and year-round planning, so you always know where you stand and never face a deadline alone.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Our team brings years of hands-on experience in every service we offer, with credentials that include MBAs, CPAs, CGFMs, and QuickBooks ProAdvisors and trainers. Our expertise spans tax preparation and planning, bookkeeping and QuickBooks setup, cleanup, and training, payroll, nonprofit accounting and Form 990s, government contractor compliance, and fractional CFO services. We serve individuals, small businesses, nonprofits, and government contractors, and we stay current on tax law changes every year so our clients benefit from the latest rules.
