Our Process

1. Initial Discovery Consultation

We start with a 30-45 minute discovery call to learn about your goals and current financial situation. During this call, we’ll review key documents like previous tax returns or financial statements and map out the next steps. Afterward, we’ll provide a detailed proposal outlining the scope of work and associated fees.

2. Onboarding and Setup

Once we’re ready to move forward, you’ll be introduced to your dedicated account manager. We’ll go over the information transfer process, communication preferences, and set expectations for timelines and deliverables. This ensures a smooth start to our partnership.

3. Strategy Development

Next, we’ll create a personalized tax and accounting plan that fits your unique needs. Using advanced software and expert insights, we design strategies that align with your goals and maximize your tax savings. Depending on your investment structure, this could include strategies like cost segregation or 1031 exchanges.

4. Implementation

With the plan in place, we move to the implementation phase. Our team will guide you through applying tax strategies, setting up your accounting system, and making sure all the necessary documentation is properly prepared. We ensure everything is compliant and audit-ready.

5. Ongoing Support

As your portfolio grows, we provide ongoing support. You’ll have regular financial reviews, access to real-time dashboards, and updates on new tax-saving opportunities. We adjust your strategy as needed to keep things on track with your goals.

6. Tax Return Preparation and Filing

Finally, we handle your tax return preparation and filing, making sure everything is fully compliant with federal and state requirements. We maximize every eligible tax deduction, and once your return is ready, we’ll review it with you before filing on your behalf.
