Six reasons people file with us
Personalized Service
Led by LaToya Clark-Thompson, and you deal with the person doing the work. One preparer who knows your situation, not a queue and a different name each season.
Free Prior-Year Review
A no-cost review of the return you already filed — whether you did it yourself or paid someone else. If something was missed, an amended return can often still recover it.
Qualified Expertise
Years of hands-on preparation behind every return, and an explanation of what drove your liability rather than just a figure at the bottom of a page.
In-Office or Virtual
Come into the Easley office, or do the whole thing through the secure client portal. Both routes get the same preparer and the same return.
Nationwide, From the Upstate
We are based in Easley, just outside Greenville, and file for clients across South Carolina and in other states. Where you live does not have to decide who prepares your return.
What the Best Rate Guarantee actually means
It is a comparison against a real number, not a vague promise to be competitive. Bring the return you filed last year and what you were charged for it, and the quote comes in at least 10% under that figure for the same scope of work.
Two things are worth saying plainly. The comparison needs the prior invoice — without it there is nothing to beat, and we will quote normally instead. And "the same scope of work" matters: if last year’s return missed a schedule that should have been there, this year’s is a different job, and we will tell you that before we start rather than after.
What a free review usually turns up
The free prior-year review exists because most people never have their return looked at by anyone but the person who filed it. It costs nothing and carries no obligation to file with us afterwards.
What it finds, when it finds something, is rarely exotic. It is usually an ordinary business cost that was never recorded, a filing status that no longer fits, a credit that was available and not claimed, or income reported on the wrong schedule. Where the amount justifies it, an amended return can often still recover it — there is a window for that, which is why the review is worth doing before the window closes rather than after.
And sometimes it finds nothing, in which case that is what we tell you. A review that always discovers a problem is a sales process, not a review.
The same preparer, either way you work with us
The in-office and virtual routes are the same service. In the Easley office you sit down with your documents and go through them together. Virtually, the documents go into the secure portal, the questions come back to you there, and the return is reviewed and signed electronically.
What does not change between them is who prepares the return and who answers when you ask why a number is what it is. Please do not email or text tax documents either way — anything sensitive belongs in the portal, not in an inbox.
Questions people ask before switching
How does the Best Rate Guarantee work?
Bring your previous year’s return and the invoice you were charged for it. We quote at least 10% below that figure for the same scope of work. The prior invoice is what makes the comparison possible — without one there is nothing to price against, so we quote normally instead.
Is the review of my old return really free?
Yes, and it carries no obligation to file with us afterwards. We look at the return you already filed — by yourself or through someone else — and tell you what we find, including when the answer is that it looks right.
What happens if the review finds a mistake?
We tell you what it is and what recovering it is worth, which is not always more than the cost of doing so. Where it is worth acting on, an amended return is usually the route, and there is a time limit on filing one.
Do I have to come into the office?
No. The whole process runs through the secure client portal if you prefer — documents in, questions answered, return reviewed and signed electronically. The Easley office is there for people who would rather sit down and go through it in person.
Do you only work with people in Greenville?
No. The office is in Easley, just outside Greenville, and we prepare returns for clients across the Upstate and in other states. Where we work lists the areas we serve most, but the virtual route is not limited to them.
Who will actually be preparing my return?
LaToya Clark-Thompson leads the work and the firm is built around you dealing with the person doing it, rather than being handed between preparers. If you want to talk before committing to anything, a consultation is free.
Not the question you had? The full tax FAQ covers more ground, and our client reviews say what the work is actually like.
