Tax Preparation

At Cerebral, we recognize that tax planning is the foundation of your financial freedom. However, no matter how thorough your planning is, it will only be effective if you accurately report your tax situation to the IRS and the state. This is why tax preparation of your individual and business tax returns is critical to your tax savings success.

Your Tax Maintenance Package will include the preparation and filing of your any income tax returns you need in order to stay compliant with the governments.

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 that 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.

Quality
Assurance

After your return has been prepared, a senior member of Team Cerebral will give your return a thorough review of your tax return with multiple quality checks to ensure accurate filing.

Video
Walkthrough

As part of our white-glove service, we will prepare a video walkthrough of your tax return, providing a two-year comparison against the prior year and a comparison against your year-end tax projection.

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!

Cerebral Tax Advisors has done a wonderful job on our taxes for the last few years that we have used them. The process is extremely easy, they are very thorough, and quickly respond to any questions or concerns.

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 tax maintenance package?

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

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

We recognize that we might not be the cheapest option available.

However, unlike many CPAs who just prepare and file tax returns without offering guidance on improving your tax situation, we will provide you with advice on how to leverage the tax code to minimize your tax bills and ensure you’re not missing out on significant tax-saving opportunities.

Furthermore, most CPAs are generalists and might not be aware of all the available opportunities. In some cases, we’ve discovered that they might actually be costing you money, making their services not as economical as they seem!
