Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers to the questions we hear most from new and prospective clients.

Do I need bookkeeping done before I can file my taxes?

It depends. If your books are behind or incomplete, we may need to do catch-up bookkeeping before we can prepare your return. We'll let you know during the intake review if additional work is needed — and the pricing for that will be scoped separately and transparently.

Is tax prep really included in the monthly packages?

Yes. Every monthly engagement package includes both your business and personal tax preparation at no additional charge. That's a significant value — most firms charge for tax prep on top of bookkeeping fees.

What if I just need a one-time tax return and nothing else?

That's completely fine. You don't need to be on a monthly package. Just fill out the intake form, we'll prepare your return at the published rates, and you're set. Many of our individual clients use us for tax prep only.

How long does it take to get my return filed?

Once we have all your documents, most individual returns are prepared within 5–7 business days. Business returns may take 7–14 days depending on complexity. You'll have a chance to review and approve before we file.

Do you work with clients outside of Arkansas?

Yes. While our office is in Little Rock, we work with clients nationwide. Everything is handled digitally through our secure client portal — documents, communication, and delivery.

Why do you require a 50% retainer?

The retainer secures your engagement and allows us to begin work immediately. It ensures we can dedicate the time and resources to prepare your return accurately. The remaining balance is due before filing.

Can I switch from a one-time engagement to a monthly package?

Absolutely. Many clients start with a one-time tax return and upgrade to a monthly package once they see the value of year-round support. We'll help you transition smoothly whenever you're ready.
