Our Process
1. Initial Discovery Consultation
We start with a 30-45 minute discovery call to understand your goals and current situation. We’ll review any necessary documents, such as prior-year tax returns or financial statements, and outline the next steps. After the call, we’ll send you a detailed proposal with the scope of work and fees.
2. Onboarding and Setup
Once we agree to move forward, you’ll be introduced to your account manager. Together, we’ll review information transfer, and communication preferences, and set expectations for timelines and deliverables. This step ensures a smooth start to our collaboration.

Next, we create a custom tax and accounting plan to meet your needs. Using advanced software and insights, we’ll design a strategy that aligns with your goals and maximizes tax savings. Depending on your investment structure, this might include strategies like cost segregation or 1031 exchanges.
