What We Do:

Tax Preparation

We prepare and file tax returns for individuals, families, partnerships, businesses and trusts.

Trust Returns

We have a long history of preparing all manner of trust returns, including irrevocable, insurance, grantor, GST-exempt and charitable remainder trusts. Trust beneficiaries who are clients receive K-1s in a timely fashion for their individual returns.

Tax Payments & Estimates

You can remove tax payments from your to-do list, as we can make quarterly estimated and final tax payments on behalf of our clients.

Tax Planning

Your tax professional and portfolio manager confer about your particular tax situation, often making adjustments as the year progresses. We create tax projections to help you to plan.

Part of your Financial Team

Each tax client works with a dedicated tax professional in addition to their portfolio management team. We take pride in our secure in-house systems we use to prepare each and every return. If you have any questions, we are always here to answer them for you.
