ow much time is required of our staff?

Usually fewer than ten hours of all employees’ time combined, normally one hour to begin and the rest in two or three segments.

How are you compensated for your services?

Your company remits to us the contracted percentage of refunds or credits received.

If you have need for services that are outside those specified in our contract, such as research on a specific issue or ongoing tax filings, we can provide those for an additional fee. We are very flexible with these kinds of arrangements and have accommodated a variety of requests from our clients.

What is your fee if we receive no tax savings?

Since our fee is a percentage of the savings we obtain, if there is no benefit, there is no fee.

How can we continue to save on taxes once our contract with you expires?

Included with our service is a seminar in which we educate key people on how to keep appropriate records and how to know which taxes and which exemptions are valid for your company.

How long does it take for you to complete an audit?

Average time is about ninety days, but minimizing time is a top priority with us.

Could your services be duplicated by our in-house accounting department?

No, not without several years of very focused research and experience. We believe it is more efficient for you to draw from what we have already invested. The focus of most accountants is income tax, and we have found few who are conversant with our areas of specialization. Errors are prevalent because of insufficient knowledge, incorrect assumptions, misinterpretations, and changing laws.
