For Individuals

I offer three service tiers for individual tax preparation, each covering your federal and state return along with year-round access to me beyond the filing season. You'll select the tier that fits your needs and pay your fee upfront when you sign your engagement letter. Any additional schedules or complexity factors identified during preparation are billed separately before filing — you'll always receive a clear breakdown before any additional charges are due.

A note on custom pricing factors: Some engagements involve factors that meaningfully increase preparation time — such as active business operations with significant transaction volume, multiple partners or shareholders, retirement plan administration, multiple state filings, payroll reconciliation complexity, trust distributions to multiple beneficiaries, or records requiring additional organization or reconciliation. When these apply, a custom pricing factor will be added to your quote, typically ranging from $150 to $400. Any add-ons will always be communicated before work begins.

Frequently Asked Questions

I'm based in Ohio and work 100% virtually. I prepare federal, state, and municipal returns for clients in all 50 states. Geography is not a limitation — everything is done through a secure online platform.
IRS and state notice response is included in all service tiers. If you receive a notice, send it to me promptly and I will help you prepare a response. For correspondence audits, I will handle the communication on your behalf. More extensive representation — such as an in-person or field audit — may involve additional fees depending on scope, which I will communicate before work begins.
All individual tax preparation clients receive identity theft restoration services and tax audit defense assistance as part of their engagement, provided through my professional network. Details are provided in your engagement letter when you onboard.
As a licensed CPA, I am bound by the AICPA Code of Professional Conduct, IRS Treasury Circular 230, and the rules and regulations of the Ohio Accountancy Board. These standards require me to maintain client confidentiality, act with integrity and objectivity, and provide competent professional services. I take these obligations seriously.
I process returns in the order that full documentation is submitted. Submitting all documents at least four weeks before your deadline is strongly recommended. Key dates for the current tax year are available on the Tax Schedule page. If documentation arrives after my internal deadline, I will make every effort to meet the filing deadline, but I cannot guarantee it.

A note on software: All bookkeeping services require QuickBooks Online. New clients receive an ongoing discount off list price when I set up your QuickBooks Online subscription.

A note on financial statements: Reporting services use QuickBooks Online's built-in functionality. Resulting financial statements are not subjected to an audit, review, or compilation engagement, and I do not express an opinion, conclusion, or any assurance on them.

Payroll

Use the estimator below to calculate your monthly service fee. Paper checks incur an additional $3/check fee added to the monthly bill.

A note on software costs: This estimate reflects my service fee only. QuickBooks Online Payroll is billed separately at cost — either passed through to you directly, or charged at my accountant rate if I hold the subscription on your behalf. Your actual total will depend on your software arrangement.

This estimate does not include applicable state and local taxes on payroll services. Final pricing is confirmed in your engagement letter.

Expert guidance, no firm overhead

Have questions about taxes, accounting, or the financial implications of a business decision? Whether you're a small business owner, a nonprofit ED navigating compliance questions, or an individual facing a complex situation — I'm here to help you think it through.
