Frequently asked questions about Sacramento tax preparation

Straight answers for local taxpayers

  • Do I need to visit your office in person?

    You are always welcome to visit us at our Sacramento office if you like face-to-face conversations, but it is not required. Many clients in the 95825 area and across the city choose to work with us completely remotely using our secure portal, email, and phone. We can gather your information, prepare your return, review everything with you, and file electronically without you needing to leave home or the office. Whether you prefer a handshake at Cottage Way or a virtual meeting on your lunch break, we are happy to work in the way that is most convenient for you.

  • Are you taking new clients in Sacramento?

    Yes, we are accepting new clients and especially welcome those looking for a long-term tax “home” rather than a one-time transaction. We work with a wide range of people, from young professionals to growing families and retirees who want consistent support year after year. When you become a client, you get to know your preparer and can reach out with questions beyond tax season. Our goal is to build ongoing relationships so you always know where to turn when tax questions come up.

  • What areas of Sacramento do you serve?

    We serve clients across the entire Sacramento region, including Downtown, Midtown, East Sacramento, Land Park, Natomas, Arden-Arcade, the Pocket, and nearby communities. Because much of our work can be done virtually, your exact neighborhood matters far less than finding a tax professional you trust. Many clients choose us because we combine local knowledge with flexible ways to meet and share documents. Whether you live near our office on Cottage Way or across town, you will receive the same personal, attentive service.

  • Do you offer bookkeeping or just taxes?

    Our primary focus is tax preparation and tax planning for individuals and small businesses, where our Enrolled Agents’ expertise has the biggest impact. While we do not provide full-service bookkeeping in-house, we can often work with the records you already have or suggest simple ways to organize your income and expenses. In some cases, we may recommend a trusted bookkeeping partner if you need more ongoing support with your books. This allows us to concentrate on accurate, strategic tax work while making sure you have resources for the day-to-day financial details.
