REAL RESULTS

What climbing looks like in dollars.

Three example engagements, anonymized and simplified — the kind of outcomes the right preparation makes possible.

FREELANCER $3,200 recovered in missed deductions

Situation: A designer had self-filed for two years, claiming almost no business expenses.

What we did: Rebuilt her expense picture — home office, software, mileage, health insurance premiums — and amended both prior returns.

Result: $3,200 back across two amended returns, plus a clean deduction system for this year.

SMALL BUSINESS $4,500 saved through entity restructuring

Situation: A contractor was operating as a sole proprietor with six-figure profit — and paying self-employment tax on all of it.

What we did: Modeled an S-corp election with a reasonable salary, then handled the setup and payroll transition.

Result: Roughly $4,500 in annual tax savings, recurring every year going forward.

FAMILY $6,400 recovered from two amended returns

Situation: A family's prior preparer missed education credits and a dependent-care benefit two years running.

What we did: Reviewed three years of past returns and amended the two with money left on the table.

Result: $6,400 in recovered refunds — and a family that now files with us every year.

Example outcomes, shown for illustration. Every situation is different — your results depend on your facts. Find out what's possible in yours →
