Testimonial from one of our clients who are benefit from Tax Preparation Services:
Client: Mark, Owner of Elite Auto Repairs – A small auto repair shop
Annual Revenue: $250,000
Challenge: High tax liability, missed deductions, and tax season stress
Before Implementing Tax Preparation Services:
- Mark had been using basic bookkeeping services to manage day-to-day business finances, but tax season was a major pain point every year.
- He usually filed taxes at the last minute, leading to stress and costly mistakes.
- Mark overlooked key business deductions for tools, supplies, and employee training — leading to an overpayment of around $5,000 annually.
- Late filings resulted in IRS penalties and interest charges, adding extra costs and stress.
- Without a clear understanding of his tax liability, Mark struggled to plan for major business expenses.
Solution:
Mark decided to upgrade his bookkeeping service by adding tax preparation for $1,299/year. The tax preparation service included:
- Organized year-end tax documentation
- Filing of business tax returns (state and federal)
- Review of eligible deductions and tax credits
- Compliance checks to avoid penalties and audits
- Quarterly tax projections and payment guidance
After Implementing Tax Preparation Services:
- Mark’s tax preparer identified $15,000 in deductible expenses (including new tools, repair supplies, and business-related travel).
- His business tax filing was submitted on time without errors, avoiding penalties and interest charges.
- Mark’s effective tax rate dropped by 4% due to better expense tracking and strategic filing.
- His tax liability decreased by $4,000 in the first year.
- Quarterly tax payments were scheduled in advance, improving cash flow consistency and eliminating tax season surprises.
- Mark felt more confident knowing that his taxes were compliant and optimized for savings.
Result:
- $4,000 in tax savings in the first year
- Avoided late penalties and interest fees
- Improved cash flow by planning for quarterly tax payments
- Reduced stress and better financial control
