Tax Preparation

Tax planning is just the beginning. At Cerebral, we take it further: we Plan, Execute, and Verify. Tax preparation is a key part of our ‘Implementation’ phase. It’s where we file the necessary returns to formally report your tax plan with the IRS.  

Meanwhile, our Verification process ensures your books are standardized, your documentation is complete, and your tax plan is audit-ready and defensible. Your Maintenance Package includes the preparation and filing of all necessary income tax returns to keep you fully compliant with federal and state requirements.

Find out how much you can save. We’ll implement it for you.

How Our Tax Preparation Services Work

Information Gathering

We have a safe and secure online portal system to exchange documents and for Team Cerebral to request information and instant messages with our clients. A convenient mobile app is available for those who need to communicate on the go!

Preparation

Once we have received all your initial information, we will begin preparing your tax returns. If we have any follow-up questions, we will contact you. Our portal allows us to update you throughout the preparation process so you know the stage your return is in.

Audit-Ready Verification

After your return has been prepared, an onshore senior member of Team Cerebral will give your return a thorough review of your tax return with multiple quality checks to ensure accurate filing. We standardize your bookkeeping to ensure every deduction is defensible and that we have met our 2x Savings Guarantee.

What Do Our Clients Say About Us?

We came to Alexis with a challenging and somewhat all over the place tax preparation project. It was a mixture of regular personal income tax as well as business. In a word, the job she did was fantastic!

Alexis did what we’ve never had anyone do when it came to our tax preparation in years past, she listened. She carefully noted all that was going on and quickly went into action to get things done.

Her communication during the process was second to none. We were kept up to date at every turn. We conducted the entire transaction online and it went so easier at times we thought it was almost too easy! At the end of the day Alexis took care of us beyond our expectations and we will be customers for life and recommend her to anyone.

Thank you Alexis, you are the best in the business. We appreciate you so much!

I am a physician who was looking for a good accounting service. There is a monthly fee, but well worth it. You save a lot more in tax liability as they are comprehensive and strategic.

FAQs

Does tax preparation include tax planning services?

Typically, no. Nonetheless, we consider effective tax planning crucial for reducing taxes, and we provide several methods to assist you in creating a tax plan. Discover your tax planning options here.

Do you prepare tax returns without being in a maintenance package?

No, we only prepare tax returns for clients in maintenance packages. To learn more about our maintenance packages, click here.

I’ve never paid this much before. Why should I now?

We get it: our fees may be higher than what you’ve paid in the past. But here’s why.
Most CPAs simply prepare and file your tax return. They don’t offer proactive tax planning, and they certainly don’t help you take full advantage of the tax code. We do.
At Cerebral, we don’t just hand you a plan and walk away. We guide you through every step, execute the filings for you, and ensure your strategy is implemented and reported correctly on your tax return. This hands-on approach prevents costly mistakes and delivers real results.
