Happy New Year!!   

We had a big change this year, Steve Van Fleteren retired on 6/30/22.  For those who would email documents to Steve please avoid using his email because it will delay the completion of your return. 

All of us are going through a transition and we are asking that you please be patient.  Many of the meetings and phone calls will now fall to me.  This will take up significant amounts of my time.  In an effort to help, I have added new staff and increased the hours of our seasonal help. We currently have four CPAs and four accountants, all who have experience working on tax returns.  For this reason, I have assigned responsibility for various clients to my staff to help provide you the excellent service you are used to receiving.          

It is still necessary to limit the amount of tax meetings since there are only so many hours in a day.  For returns that don’t have a meeting, our procedure will be to have a team member contact you directly, to obtain final pieces of information, provide tax results, and answer any other questions.  If you need a meeting, please contact the front desk.      

What can you do to help us with our process? Get your stuff in early!!  Often waiting to give us your documents because you are missing one piece or you get busy can delay the completion of the return.  The earlier we can review your documents the sooner we can determine what else we need.  Next gather all important tax documents mailed to your home and review tax documents that you receive online so you can login to get them printed.  It is usually a broker statement or a K-1 that comes later don’t wait on these things.  Any return we receive after April 1, 2023 will have to be put on extension. The 2022 tax season procedures and tax information form are attached. 

We strive to continue to provide excellent and efficient service.  This information will also be available on our website and our Facebook page. Please contact us if you have any questions regarding our procedures.  We are happy to help and look forward to serving you. 

Sincerely,

ANGELA RHODE, CPA
