Hey everyone! ???? ? Dr. Seuss once asked, How do you eat an elephant? ? I'll tell you in a second, but first—cheers to making it past the 3/15 tax deadline! Now, onto the big one: 4/15. For those who don’t know me, I’m a CPA, and my firm specializes in Controller packages for small-to-medium businesses—bookkeeping, payroll, tax strategy, and prep. Historically, we’ve focused on this niche and had to turn down many one-off tax returns. Our pricing was simply too high compared to uncertified tax preparers (someone will always do it cheaper - you know how that goes). ? Here's the answer Dr. Suess had: One. Bite. At. A. Time. Well, we’ve finally neared the end of 'eating our elephant'. Over the years, in the background, we've been building a dedicated tax return department that offers CPA-reviewed tax prep that can start as low as $349. ? While this is a huge milestone we met for our followers, we need your help to get it finished. In order to successfully help as many folks as we can, we need your feedback on testing it out and making it an even easier process. To do this, we'd like to cover the booking fee for the first 50 who sign up (usually $145). Please apply CRPUS50BEST at checkout to book for free. The process should take you about 30 mins and you can do it from your phone or computer. Please keep in mind, that this is straightforward tax filing—that means its isolated to just income tax processing, minimal advice, all-online, with a quick 30-minute review (virtual or in-person) after you submit your documents. We are excited to earn your 5-star review. Oh, and hablamos espa?ol ?? ?? English: https://lnkd.in/gV9Sbd3N ?? Spanish: https://lnkd.in/gDyax3s9 Cheers!
