I have 5 years of individual tax preparation. I have experience with simple and complex tax returns. I will take my time and analyze all different scenarios, finding out your best filing status in order to make sure I get the maximum refund. I have been self employed preparing taxes for a little over 5 years. I have experience with rental properties, Sale of rental and personal property, business including depreciation and inventory returns, partnerships, multiple States, amended returns, and foreign income returns to name a few. I have limited experience in S corporation returns. I have the PITIN number issued by the irs to prepare taxes and I re certify every year and keep up with updates. I charge 40 dollars per hour for personal income tax returns and 30 dollars per hour for bookkeeping

Most accountants are very good at telling you what happened last year. I think that's about 12 months too late. I work proactively with business owners, entrepreneurs, real estate investors, and high-income individuals to identify tax-saving opportunities BEFORE the year is overโ€”while there's still time to do something about them. I'm not just a tax preparer. I'm a CPA, former CEO, entrepreneur, business owner, author, and strategic advisor. I know the tax code. But just as importantly, I know what it's like to sign the front of the check. ๐Ÿš€ A FEW THINGS I'VE DONE ALONG THE WAY โœ” Built and led a 60-person CPA firm as CEO โœ” Created proprietary Employee Retention Credit software โœ” Helped recover $100+ million in tax credits โœ” Generated $2+ million in annual tax savings for one healthcare company โœ” Author of the Tax Credits Are Sexyโ„ข book series โœ” Built, bought, operated, and sold businesses โœ” Raised capital and completed multiple acquisitions โœ” Served as Controller, CFO, CEO, entrepreneur, and CPA โœ” Top Rated Upwork freelancer with 100% Job Success I've spent my career at the intersection of taxes, accounting, entrepreneurship, and business strategy. That's why I look at a tax return differently than someone who has spent their entire career preparing them. โญ WHAT CLIENTS SAY โ€œKevin had always been a great source to help me with accounting, but when he got the IRS to send me two checks totaling over $250,000, it saved my business.โ€ โ€” Cody Tretschok โ€œWhen Kevin first told me I might qualify for a tax credit, I said, โ€˜We pay our CPA a lot of money. I'm sure they already took care of it.โ€™ Kevin cared enough to keep pushing. It turned out our CPA had not taken care of itโ€”and we received a very nice refund check from the IRS.โ€ โ€” Terha Marie ๐Ÿ“ฉ Think you're paying too much taxโ€”or have a tax problem that needs solving? Invite me to your project or send me a direct message. โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ” WHO I HELP โ€ข Business owners & entrepreneurs โ€ข S Corporation and LLC owners โ€ข Partnerships โ€ข Real estate investors โ€ข High-income individuals โ€ข Businesses with complex or multi-year tax issues The objective is simple: Reduce taxes legally. Improve cash flow. Avoid expensive surprises. Make better financial decisions. โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ” TAX STRATEGY & TAX PLANNING Tax preparation tells you what you owe. Tax planning asks a much better question: โ€œWhat can we legally do to reduce it?โ€ My work frequently includes: โœ” Advanced Tax Planning & Tax Strategy โœ” S Corporation & LLC Tax Planning โœ” Entity Structure & Reasonable Compensation โœ” Real Estate Tax Strategies & Cost Segregation โœ” R&D Tax Credits โœ” Retirement & Benefit Strategies โœ” Multi-State Tax Planning โœ” Prior-Year Opportunity Reviews I don't recommend strategies simply because they're clever. They need to make economic sense. โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ” TAX PREPARATION & COMPLEX PROJECTS โ€ข Form 1040 โ€“ Individual โ€ข Form 1120-S โ€“ S Corporation โ€ข Form 1065 โ€“ Partnership โ€ข Form 1120 โ€“ C Corporation โ€ข Form 990 โ€“ Nonprofit โ€ข Amended & Delinquent Tax Returns โ€ข Foreign-Owned LLC / Form 5472 Compliance โ€ข IRS Resolution & Tax Problems If your accounting or prior returns are a mess, that's okay. Some of my favorite projects start with: โ€œI have no idea what my last accountant did.โ€ โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ” BUSINESS & FINANCIAL ADVISORY โ€ข Fractional CFO Services โ€ข Financial Statement Review โ€ข QuickBooks Online / Bookkeeping Oversight โ€ข Cash Flow & Profitability Analysis โ€ข Financial Cleanup & Multi-Entity Accounting โ€ข Strategic Business Consulting I've served as a Controller, CFO, CEO, entrepreneur, and CPA. So I'm looking at your numbers as a business ownerโ€”not simply as an accountant. SOFTWARE: QuickBooks Online โ€ข Drake Tax โ€ข Excel โ€ข Google Sheets โ€ข Gusto โ€ข ADP โ€ข Xero โ€ข Sage โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ” WHY I STILL DO THIS AFTER 35+ YEARS Because I love finding opportunities other people miss. There's something incredibly satisfying about showing a business owner that the tax bill they assumed was inevitableโ€ฆ wasn't. I don't believe accountants should simply record history. I believe we should help create a better financial future. ๐Ÿ“ฉ READY TO TALK? Invite me to your Upwork project or send me a direct message. Tell me what's going on, what you're trying to accomplish, and any deadlines you're facing. I'll tell you what I think the next step should beโ€”and if I'm not the right CPA for the project, I'll tell you that too. Kevin A. Marshall, CPA Author, Tax Credits Are Sexyโ„ข
