What Brought You Here?
The books are behind, tax season caught you flat-footed, or you're wondering if you're paying more than you should.
Tax Season Suprise
Your accountant needs your books and they're not ready. You're scrambling to find receipts and hoping you didn't miss anything important. We get your records in order and make sure you're prepared before the deadline.
An IRS Notice in Your Mailbox
That letter from the IRS is sitting on your desk and you're not sure what to do with it. As Enrolled Agents, we're federally licensed to represent you directly. We handle the response, the calls, and the resolution.
Leaving Money on the Table
You filed your return but you're not confident you claimed everything you could have. Most business owners miss deductions they're entitled to. We review every transaction and identify what others overlook.
The Books Are Months Behind
Every week you tell yourself you'll catch up. Every week you don't. Now it's a pile of statements and transactions you can't make sense of. We dig in, sort it out, and bring you current.
Outgrowing DIY Bookkeeping
QuickBooks made sense when you started. Now it's full of miscategorized transactions and accounts you don't recognize. We clean it up, restructure it properly, and keep it running right going forward.
Starting a Business
LLC or S Corp? How do you set up your books? What about payroll taxes? The early decisions matter. We help you choose the right structure and build your accounting foundation correctly from day one.

What Our Clients Say
We've worked with over 200 businesses. Here's what a few of them have to say.
"Diane Castell has been my accountant almost 10 years and she is amazing. I highly recommend her for personal and business tax prep. She is efficient, knowledgeable, and easy to work with. I always walk away feeling confident her work is correct and that I saved way more money in taxes using her than trying to do it on my own. I have moved to different states and continue to count on Diane for my tax prep."
Andrea Zavitz
"Diane is so important to my business. If not for her I would be flailing. Tax preparation for a "C Class" corporation is best done by a highly trained professional, Diane is exactly that. She handles my company's books and is extremely knowledgeable about the current requirements and details needed to file accurate and critical corporate tax returns. She answers all of my questions without hesitation and actually encourages me to ask them. Her work is prompt and punctual. She is a true expert and deeply experienced in her field. I highly recommend her company to any persons or businesses in need of tax related services."
