Please review the scope of services we offer in this section. Your invoice sets forth the specific services you are purchasing, the party entering the agreement, and the costs for such Services.
a. Tax Planning
Our tax planning service helps our clients reduce their tax liability. Our EAs will review and analyze your unique tax circumstances to prepare a plan that identifies at least twice our fee in estimated tax savings. The tax deliverable includes a detailed overview of specific tax strategies, as well as the requirements to implement said strategies. The service includes a consultation with a licensed EA to explain the various tax strategies in the plan, and the implementation instructions required to implement the plan.
Important: It will be your responsibility to implement the strategies listed in your tax plan. If you have any questions on the implementation instructions provided, you may contact us to provide additional clarification. There will be no additional fees assessed by us for answering implementation-related questions within 30-days of the delivery of the tax plan. However, additional fees may apply for ongoing support after this period.
b. Ongoing Tax Support
Our ongoing tax support service provides additional support to our tax planning clients. This add-on service includes quarterly meetings with a licensed EA and email support to provide additional tax guidance to our clients. This may include addressing new circumstances that may impact your taxes, advising you on quarterly estimated tax payments, reviewing the status of your tax plan, or answering any tax questions you may have.
