Our goals were to get everything filed as quick as possible and to get back on track for 2020 and beyond.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor?

I had reached out to several vendors. My partner had a lot of anxiety about filing and had heard horror stories from other people in the industry, so it was important to find someone that understood and wasn't going to make him feel worse for not filing for 6 years.

Describe the engagement in detail.

We put together a binder of all the tax documents we had for the 6 years. Then I brought them into the office. The guys sent me an expense worksheet that we went through and compiled for each year. From there, we started filing one year at a time. Once the preparers had everything then each year was reviewed and sent over to us to check before filing. The process took under 2 months.

Describe their billing or cost structure.

The fees were very clear and we paid all costs up front and were not charged anything additional.

We had a few guys that did the initial prep work and then it went to the next level for review. Everyone was very communicative with us and it was always clear where we were in the process.

The work flow was awesome. We knew what was happening and it was always clear what they needed. For six years of tax work the process was so clear and efficient.
