Tax Preparation Services in Appleton, Wisconsin

The U.S. income tax code is very complicated and convoluted. This is not news to you, I’m sure. Even for individuals with relatively “simple” returns, the rules and reporting requirements change constantly. Do you really have time to keep up with all of that?


Tax preparation services are our core business offerings. We spend a lot of time and resources making sure we know taxes and can optimize our clients’ income tax returns. We even offer recommendations for tax savings as a routine part of our tax services.

Trusted Tax Preparation Services

Our services do not end on April 15th. We are here year-round in case you have a question, you need a document, or you receive a notice from the IRS or another taxing authority. Here are some examples of the services we offer:

  • Suppose something changes in your life that affects your income and your taxes. We create multi-year tax plans to show you how those changes will affect your tax situation and what you can do about it.
  • Imagine getting a notice in the mail from the IRS. A lot of people will pay whatever the IRS says they owe because it’s easier, even though they may not owe a dime. Now imagine you have somebody you can call who will read the notice, figure out what has to be done, call the IRS, and help you solve the problem.
  • You may need a copy of your income tax return, your property tax bill, your W-2, or some other document. If you cannot find it, we can retrieve it from our files, because we keep electronic copies of all tax returns we prepare plus copies of the supporting documentation that you have provided us.
