Tax preparation · Vancouver, WA
Tax preparation for construction business owners.
Your returns, prepared by the same team that can keep your books and plan your taxes. Filing becomes the last step of a planned year, not a scramble.
Start with your filing needs
Bring your filing questions into one conversation.
Not sure which records to gather or which returns you need? Start by explaining your business structure, the tax years involved and what’s already been prepared or filed.
Tell Maya which returns, states and tax years you need help with. We prepare personal and business returns, and she’ll confirm the fit on the call.
What to have ready
A short list beats a shoebox.
- Last year’s returns
- Year-end financials, or access to your books
- 1099s and W-2s you issued or received
- Records of equipment and vehicle purchases
- Estimated tax payments you made during the year
Tax documents aren’t collected through this website. Maya will tell you how to send them once you’ve agreed on the work.
