Frequently Asked Questions
Are you wondering if hiring a professional is the right thing to do? Are you unaware of the differences between a big name company and an independent professional when it comes to Tax Preparation? Don’t worry many people have questions or concerns before hiring an independent professional. Here are a few common questions and answers to help you make an informed decision.
01
What are the Benefits of Hiring a Bookkeeper?
The biggest advantage is running your business without the hassle of having to keep your books, you have more time to focus on whats more important to you. A professional Bookkeeper can also make sure that your records are accurate, help improve your cash flow by identifying trends.
02
Is Outsourced Bookkeeping Really Less Expensive?
Yes it is, when you hire an employee you pay an annual salary, taxes and benefits. With an outsourced Bookkeeper you either pay a flat monthly rate or a flat hourly rate without having to worry about the other expenses.
03
What sets you Apart from the Big Name Franchises (H&R Block, Jackson Hewitt etc?)
I have more education than most of the preparers at the big companies, most employees there take a course given by the franchise in order to become employed and prepare taxes it only takes a few short months, I have been studying accounting including tax preparation for many years my knowledge is more extensive.
04
Why are your prices lower?
Lower pricing does not mean lower quality in this case, my prices are lower because I don’t have as much overhead as the big franchises. I don’t have rent, utilities and employees to pay so I don’t need to increase my prices to make a profit.
05
Why is your initial application so long?
I want to make sure you have all the necessary documentation before preparing your return; many taxpayers miss deductions and credits because they aren’t aware of things that can be included in their tax return. But that’s why I am here to make sure you get the maximum refund or at the very least lower your tax liability. In order to do so I need a lot of information the first go around.
