​​

A lot of important tax legislation passed last year - and again this year - and many of these changes impact all of us in meaningful ways. Our team is fully up to date on the new laws and guidance, and we're ready to help you navigate what they mean for you.

 

As always, your feedback means a great deal to us, and referrals are truly the highest compliment we can receive. We're currently welcoming new clients who are looking for thoughtful, strategic, and high-quality tax preparation and guidance. We are not just committed to preparing your taxes, we take a look at your wholistic financial life to make sure you are maximizing any and all benefits and tax rates.

​

Small Business Heads up:

​

We offer in-house small business book-keeping and payroll services through QuickBooks at reduced rates!

​

Our intentions and expectations are to always keep our pricing structure fair and equitable. In 2025 and now 2026, the cost to prepare a return continues to increase. Please be prepared to see a slight increase in your return cost. These costs represent real expense we incur from our providers to help us in providing a necessary service. 

 

We are excited for the upcoming 2025 tax filing season and look forward to working with you in the months ahead. Below are a few highlights and reminders from both this year and last to help you stay informed.

​

All the best,
—The SSW Accounting Team
