Who We Serve

You work too hard
to leave money behind.

🏥

Physicians & Healthcare Professionals

W-2 from a hospital or practice, often with 1099 income, equity, retirement plan questions, and a return that TurboTax cannot handle.

$250K – $1M+
⚖️

Attorneys & Partners

K-1 income from the partnership, deferred compensation, complex compensation structures, and often multiple states in play.

$300K – $2M+
📈

Executives & Finance Professionals

RSUs, ISOs, NQSOs, carried interest, large capital gains — every one has planning opportunities that only surface if someone is actively looking.

$200K – $5M+
💻

Tech & Senior Corporate Employees

High W-2, equity comp vesting events, possible side income, and a stack of brokerage forms best handled by someone who does this every day.

$180K – $800K
💑

Dual-Income Households

Two high earners. Two W-2s. Maybe rental property. Possibly a side business. Retirement accounts on both sides. Never simple — always manageable.

$300K – $1M+ HHI
🏡

Real Estate Investors

Rental income, passive loss questions, depreciation strategy, 1031 exchange coordination — all handled alongside your W-2 return.

Any W-2 + Real Estate
The Problem

Most high earners
overpay quietly.

  • 1

    Your preparer is reactive, not proactive

    They file what happened last year. They don't contact you in October to discuss what you can still do before December 31st — which is when most savings actually happen.

  • 2

    Equity compensation events are routinely mishandled

    RSU vesting, ISO exercises, ESPP sales — each has a right way and a wrong way. The wrong way means paying tax twice on the same income, or triggering AMT unnecessarily.

  • 3

    Software asks questions. It doesn't think.

    Online filing is fine for simple returns. Once you have investment income, equity events, multiple states, or real estate — a questionnaire cannot replace professional judgment.

  • 4

    Nobody watches for what you don't know to ask about

    Investment basis corrections, retirement contribution timing, charitable giving structure, deferred compensation elections — these get missed because no one brought them up.

  • 5

    You're spending your own time on something you hate

    Your hourly rate — even just mentally — is worth more than what you're saving by doing this yourself. Delegating this is just good math.

What We Typically Find

Common savings for clients who come from another preparer or DIY software.

Equity comp basis correction $2K – $8K
Retirement contribution optimization $1K – $5K
Investment income structuring $500 – $4K
Missed above-the-line deductions $500 – $2K
Passive loss / rental property $1K – $10K+
Typical first-year savings $3K – $20K+

What Your Current Return Is Missing

The things that don't
appear on a W-2.

Planning opportunities that exist for every high earner — and disappear if nobody catches them before December 31st.

Equity Compensation

RSU & Stock Option Tax Basis

When RSUs vest, the income is on your W-2. When you sell, many preparers miss the basis adjustment — causing you to pay tax twice on the same income. Extremely common, very fixable.

Retirement Planning

Backdoor Roth & Contribution Timing

High earners above the Roth income limit have options — backdoor Roth IRA, mega backdoor 401k, deferred compensation timing — that require coordination across your W-2 and benefits elections.

Investment Income

Tax-Loss Harvesting & Gain Deferral

Long-term vs. short-term character, wash sale rules, gifting appreciated securities, opportunity zone elections — none of this happens automatically without someone watching your situation.

Charitable Giving

Bunching, DAFs & Stock Donations

Donating cash when you hold appreciated stock costs you money. A donor-advised fund or a bunching strategy may double the tax benefit of what you're currently giving.

Multi-State Income

Remote Work & Sourcing Rules

Remote workers, traveling executives, and anyone earning income across state lines often has state allocation errors in their return — sometimes overpaying, sometimes creating exposure.

Year-End Planning

The October–December Window

Roth conversions, income deferral, loss harvesting, charitable gifts — most of the best moves must happen before December 31st. A preparer who calls you in February is too late for any of it.

Services & Pricing

Flat-fee pricing.
No surprises.

You get a quoted price before we touch anything. It doesn't change. No hourly billing, no "it got complicated" conversation at the end.

Questions

Frequently asked

Do I need to come into an office?

No. Everything happens through our secure document portal, email, and video calls if needed. We work with clients across the country entirely remotely.

How is this different from TurboTax or H&R Block?

You get a licensed CPA reviewing your specific situation — not software walking you through questions. We look for planning opportunities, not just entries. And we're available if something comes up later.

I already have a CPA. Why switch?

If they're reaching out proactively before year-end, reviewing your equity comp carefully, and walking you through what they found — stay with them. If you got a finished return and a bill, a second opinion might be worth it.

My return is complicated — RSUs, multiple states, a rental. Can you handle it?

Yes. That's precisely the profile we work with most. Multi-state income, equity compensation, and Schedule E rental returns are core competencies, not reluctant exceptions.

What does "flat fee" actually mean?

We quote you before we start. That number doesn't change regardless of how many follow-up questions we need to ask. No hourly billing. No surprise invoice at the end.

When should I reach out?

Anytime. We take clients year-round. For current-year returns, reaching out by late February gives us the best runway. We file extensions when needed and take on new clients through September.
