Services We Offer
Individual & Business Tax Preparation
Federal and applicable state returns for individuals, families, and business entities.
Tax preparation is handled with care, accuracy, and a focus on long-term outcomes — not just filing the return. Advisory support may be recommended after review when ongoing guidance would be helpful.
Advisory Memberships
Year-round tax and advisory support beyond filing season.
Advisory memberships provide structured, ongoing access for questions, planning, and business-related guidance throughout the year. Memberships are recommended when appropriate after your return is reviewed and are not required to remain a tax client.
Memberships may include:
• Core Advisory support • Proactive planning • Business advisory • Combined individual and business coverage
Partner Advisory
Invite-only | Limited Availability
A high-touch advisory relationship for select clients who need ongoing, strategic involvement.
Partner Advisory is reserved for clients with complex, evolving needs who benefit from a deeper, more collaborative advisory relationship.
This offering is extended by invitation only and is not available for self-enrollment.
Scope, cadence, and pricing are customized and established in advance to maintain clarity and focus.
All Hands Advisory (Special Engagement)
One-time, fixed-fee advisory engagements for complex situations.
For major life events, high-impact decisions, or situations that fall outside ongoing advisory support. Scope and pricing are set in advance to keep expectations clear.
Tax Guidance Sessions
One-time advisory sessions for questions, clarity, or planning.
For clients who need focused guidance without ongoing support. Sessions are prepaid and designed for specific questions, decisions, or short-term planning needs.
Support Options
Tax Prep Only
Tax preparation services delivered accurately and securely.
Book individual or business filings with full documentation support.
Ongoing Support
Optional advisory memberships provide year-round access for questions, planning, and business guidance beyond tax preparation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Do you work with clients outside Arkansas?
A: Yes! I work with clients all over the country.
Q: When should I book my appointment?
A: Entirely up to you! I have some clients who book out 3 months in advance. Then others who wait for me to complete the return first before scheduling a review.
Q: What’s the difference between tax preparation and advisory support?
A: Tax preparation focuses on accurately filing your return based on what already happened. Advisory support is optional and provides year-round access for questions, planning, and guidance as situations arise after your return is filed.
Q: Do I need an advisory membership to be a tax client?
A: No. Advisory memberships are optional. They are recommended when ongoing access or proactive planning would be helpful based on your situation.
Q: Can I get help with questions after my return is filed?
A: Yes. Ongoing questions, notices, and planning conversations are supported through advisory memberships or one-time Tax Guidance Sessions, depending on scope.
Q: What if I have a major life or financial change?
A: Significant events or high-impact decisions may require a one-time All Hands Advisory engagement. Scope and pricing are set in advance to keep expectations clear.
Q: Is business-related guidance included?
A: Business-related advisory requires the appropriate advisory level. If a business is involved, recommendations will reflect the added complexity.
Q: Can I choose which advisory level I want?
A: Advisory recommendations are based on professional judgment and the scope of support needed. When ongoing support is appropriate, the recommended option will be provided for review.
Q: Can I get proactive tax guidance throughout the year?
A: Yes. Proactive guidance is provided through advisory memberships when appropriate. Recommendations are made after your return is reviewed so support is aligned with your needs.
Q: What does it mean when I’m added to the tax season process?
A: It means your return is officially in our system and moving through the required steps. You’ll be notified when action is needed — otherwise, no response is required.
