Blueprint Planning
The written plan itself. Entity elections, retirement & deferral, and estimated payments mapped before the year runs — so tax season executes a plan instead of discovering one.

Taxes handled so you can build what’s next.
Most accountants meet your tax year in April — after every number in it is already decided. We work the other way: planning, not just filing. Your entity elections, retirement moves, and estimated payments get mapped in a written Tax Blueprint before the year runs, prepared and filed by a CPA-led team — with a licensed CPA on every return.

Sht. 01 — Services
One firm for every line of your return.
Six services, one plan. Preparation and planning live under the same roof here, so the return you file in April is the one we drew up with you months earlier.
Individual Tax
Personal returns prepared, reviewed, and signed off by a licensed CPA — with the year’s planning already baked in, not bolted on in April.
Business Tax
Business returns held to the same standard as everything here: accurate, optimized, and on time — strategy reviewed before filing, not after.
Entity Election
LLC, S-corp, partnership: the structure decision that quietly sets your tax bill. We work the election on purpose and document it properly.
Growth Advisory
When the business changes — hiring, buying, expanding — the plan changes with it. Big decisions get checked against your Blueprint before they’re made.
Bookkeeping
Monthly numbers you can actually plan from — so your Blueprint runs on real figures all year, not on year-end guesses.
Sht. 02 — The Tax Blueprint
Open the Blueprint.
This is the document at the center of the firm: a written plan with an executive summary and an action table, every move carrying a priority. Pick a planning area and unroll its section of a sample Blueprint.
“More money in your pocket, not the IRS’s.”
Entity Election
Executive summary — How your business is structured decides how every dollar gets taxed — so the election is reviewed on purpose, every year, not inherited from the year you formed.
Action Priority
Review your current entity election against this year’s income picture Discuss with CPA
Work through the S corporation election and its deadlines before the window closes Confirm & Document
Record the election decision, its reasoning, and its effective date Implement
Revisit the structure when ownership or income changes Future Discussion
Retirement & Deferral
Executive summary — Retirement contributions are among the last moves that can still change a tax bill after the year ends — if they are sized and scheduled before the deadlines pass.
Action Priority
Set this year’s contribution target while there is still time to fund it Increase Now
Confirm the contribution types and deadlines that fit your situation Confirm & Document
Coordinate deferral moves with your estimated payments Discuss with CPA
Put next year’s funding rhythm on the calendar Implement
Estimated Payments
Executive summary — Estimates built from this year’s real numbers — recalculated as the year moves, instead of copied from last year’s return and hoped over.
Action Priority
Replace last year’s guess with vouchers built from current figures Implement
Recheck the estimate at mid-year and again in the fall Confirm & Document
Walk through what changed and why the number moved Discuss with CPA
Adjust the final voucher if income shifts late in the year Future Discussion
Prior-Year Review
Executive summary — Last year’s return, read like a drawing of what to fix: missed signals, open elections, and carryovers that change this year’s plan.
Action Priority
Read the prior return for planning signals and missed moves Implement
Flag elections and carryovers that affect this year Confirm & Document
Bring the open questions into your planning conversation Discuss with CPA
Set the watch list for next year’s review Future Discussion
This is a sample. Yours is drawn from your actual returns, your actual year.

How do I get started?
Booking a consult is the best way to get on the schedule and speak with one of our CPAs. We’re happy to meet in person, over Zoom, on Google Meet, or whatever works best for you.

What is a Tax Blueprint?
It is the written plan at the center of how we work: your entity elections, retirement and deferral moves, and estimated payments mapped out in advance — an executive summary plus an action table that gives every move a priority. You can download a sample Blueprint from this page and see the exact structure before we ever build yours.
What does it cost?
Our pricing is flat-fee and project-based, and we publish our minimums up front: Essential from $635, Core from $1,710, and Elite from $4,800 — each with a licensed CPA on every return. Those figures represent our minimum pricing; all package pricing is project-based and subject to change.
How quickly will my return be ready?
It depends on your package: Essential runs six weeks, Core four weeks, and Elite two weeks. Planning packages also build your estimated tax vouchers into the year, so the deadlines stop arriving as surprises.
Who actually works on my return?
A licensed CPA signs off on every return. Zee Barfoot, CPA, our Managing Partner, leads the firm, and Austin Malone, CPA, our Director of Taxation, heads tax strategy and review. We are small by design: you work with the same licensed advisor all year — no call center, no hand-offs.
