Before your first meeting, gather prior year tax returns, records of income and expenses, and relevant business financial statements such as profit and loss reports or balance sheets. Payroll documents and vendor records are also valuable.
Organizing your documentation streamlines the process and helps our team at Universal Accounting & Bookkeeping LLC prepare accurate advice and filing tailored to your circumstances.
An accountant handles general financial records; a CPA (Certified Public Accountant) has passed a rigorous exam and often offers tax preparation and advisory; a bookkeeper manages day-to-day financial transactions and record-keeping. Each serves distinct but complementary roles.
Complex tax situations, multiple income streams, or business ownership benefit from a professional’s expertise to optimize returns and reduce errors beyond what software offers.
Common documents include W-2s, 1099s, receipts, financial statements, prior returns, and any relevant deductions or credits documentation.
Time depends on complexity and document readiness; generally, 1-3 weeks from document submission to filing if records are complete.
Tax preparation involves completing and submitting tax returns, while tax planning is proactive advice to minimize liabilities and maximize benefits throughout the year.
