January-April (Tax Season)

During tax season, our primary focus is meeing filing deadlines for existing clients. As a result, the new client onboarding process is more streamlined than at other times of the year.

  • Introductory meetings are available on a very limited basis. If meeting your preparer before engagement is important to you, we may recommend delaying onboarding until after teh April filing deadline.

  • We cannot guarantee timely extension filing for businesses that begin onboarding after February 2 or individuals that begin onboarding after March 2. Clients onboarding after these dates should be prepared to file their own extnesion(s)

 

May-December

Outside of tax season, we have greater availability for consultations, introductory meetings, and new client onboarding.
