How it works

File. Organize. Manage. Plan. Grow.

Most people meet us over a tax return. That is rung one. As the money gets more complicated, the work moves up the ladder with you.

  1. 01

    File

    Get the return done right.

  2. 02

    Organize

    Get the books straight.

  3. 03

    Manage

    Payroll, invoices, compliance.

  4. 04

    Plan

    Know what the numbers say.

  5. 05

    Grow

    Hire, fund, expand, sell.

“See you next year” is not a plan. The better question is what you should do with the next twelve months.

03

Two sides

One office. Two kinds of work.

What you need depends on where the money comes from. Start on the side that fits.

05

Tax season

Need your money sooner?

If you qualify, a refund advance puts part of your federal refund in your hands before the IRS sends it.

$7,500

Maximum advance, subject to approval

Read this part

Approval determined by MetaBank. Terms and eligibility apply. An advance is a loan against your refund. It is not a bigger refund and it is not a faster IRS. Not everyone is approved, and the amount you are offered may be less than the maximum.

06

Trust

Who is handling your money.

You are about to give somebody your income, your bank details and your Social Security number. Reasonable questions deserve answers first.

Where are you?

Suite 204 on Gratiot in Eastpointe. A real office with real hours, where you can sit across the desk from the person doing the work.

Who does my return?

The same people, in the same office, year after year. You are not routed to a call centre and you are not reassigned every season.

What happens to my documents?

They are used to prepare your filing and kept for the retention period the IRS requires. Client information is never sold.

What if something goes wrong?

You call the office and speak to a person. Notices, amendments and follow-up questions are part of the work, not a separate emergency.

Next step

Make bigger money moves.

Book a time, or call the office and ask. Either way you will speak to somebody who can tell you what your situation actually needs.
