The amount of time it takes to prepare a tax return depends on the complexity of the return and how organized your financial documents are. A simple, individual tax return may take just a few hours to prepare, while a more complicated business return can take a few weeks. Talk to our professionals about your specific situation to get a better understanding of your expected timeframe.

It depends on your situation. If you are filing a simple tax return, such as one for an individual with no major assets or investments, then it may not be necessary to hire an accountant. On the other hand, if you have complex taxes to file, an accountant can ensure that all deductions and credits are taken advantage of.

Corporations and partnerships file a separate return. Single member LLC's and sole proprietorships are included on your personal return.

As soon as you can, it’s a good idea to start thinking about retirement planning. Even if you are still many years away from retiring, an accountant can help you develop strategies and solutions to ensure that you have the resources available when the time comes. They can also suggest investment opportunities and set up tax-advantaged savings plans that could help you save more for your retirement.

Having an accountant involved in the estate planning process can be extremely helpful, as they are well versed in the tax implications of various aspects of estate planning.

They can also help ensure that all documents are filed correctly, and that all taxes are paid in a timely manner.
