TIRED OF YOUR ACCOUNTANT?

Fire your fossil. Try a Tax CFO.

If they only call you in April, that is a filing service. A Tax CFO plans with you all year, and the first look is free.

Your free Second Look

The call is 30 minutes. Free. Nothing to sign. Three things in your return worth a look, each with the page it sits on. A straight answer on whether your books can be trusted today. A switch plan if you want one. We request everything from your old firm, so you skip the awkward conversation. You decide what to do.

Steven Palmieri is a Tax CFO practice, not a CPA firm. Services on this site are provided by Steven Palmieri, Dallas, Texas. We only use this to respond about your Second Look. No spam, ever.

Three signs your firm is a fossil

If two of these sound familiar, it is time.

They still want paper

A checklist in the mail, a folder to drop off, a portal nobody can log into.

Replies take a week or more

By the time the answer arrives, the decision has already been made without it.

April brings a surprise

They saw your numbers once, after the year ended, when nothing could be changed.

Their firm, once a year

  • Books touched at year-end, if at all
  • Tax talk starts in April, when nothing can change
  • Answers in a week, or two
  • A PDF you cannot read on your phone
  • They look at the company and stop there

Ours, every month

  • Books kept clean every month
  • A tax plan before December, while you can still act on it
  • Answers the same week
  • Numbers you can read on your phone
  • You as the owner too: personal taxes, personal credit, the statement lenders ask for

Questions owners ask before switching

Do I have to tell my current firm myself?

No. With your signed authorization we request your prior returns and records from them directly.

Is the middle of the year a bad time to switch?

It is the best time. Tax planning only works before the year closes.

Are you a CPA firm?

No. We do not perform audits, reviews, or compilations. We keep your finances clean, prepare and plan your taxes, and act as your CFO. If a lender requires audited or reviewed statements, a CPA firm does that piece.

What does it cost after the Second Look?

A fixed monthly fee based on the size and complexity of the business. You see the number before you decide anything.
