What is our CPA VIRTUAL
Cloud Tax Preparation Service
Our VIRTUAL cloud tax preparation service allows us to work more efficiently while giving you the value you deserve. We use a secureonline portal to share documents and hold video meetings so you save time from driving back and forth to us. If you prefer a chat on the phone instead of an online video meeting....no problem.
How it All Works
Free Consultation
Have a phone or an online video consultation so we can explain the process, get to know you, and discuss your tax situation
Invitation
We email you a link to set up your account and log-in credentials to our secured Intuit "Link" portal so you can answer a few questions, upload images of your tax documents, and communicate back and forth during the tax prep process.
Tax Preparation and Wrapping Up
We receive alerts whenever you provide information and add documents so we stay on top of your return.
Once your return is completed, we will review it with you before we both e-sign it, and lastly, we e-file it for a quick refund.
