Five steps from hello to filed
No guesswork, no disappearing acts. Here's exactly what happens from your first hello to a reviewed, approved, and filed return.
- 01
Request an estimate or start your intake
Begin with a preliminary tax estimate or complete the client intake so we understand your situation before your appointment.
- 02
Complete intake and sign your agreement
Fill in the required intake information and electronically sign the applicable service agreement.
- 03
Send in your supporting documents
Submit the requested supporting documents through the approved secure document submission workflow.
- 04
We review and prepare your return
Our team reviews your documents, follows up about anything missing, and prepares your return once everything required is received.
- 05
You review and authorize filing
You review the prepared return and approve it for filing. Nothing is filed until you say so.
Sending an intake form doesn't file a return on its own. We only file after you've reviewed and approved your prepared return.

Wondering where you'll land this year?
A preliminary estimate gives you a read on things based on what you tell us up front. It isn't a promise — but it's a handy planning tool before you sit down to file.
Estimates are a starting point only, based on the details you share, and can shift once we review your actual documents.
Trust you can actually verify
We don't post made-up reviews. The moment a client shares approved feedback, it goes right here. Until then, here's the real proof of how we work.
