We use a secure online portal (“Vault”) to collect and deliver documents, offering convenience and data protection. Documents may also be submitted via mail or dropped off at our office. Our tax software supports complex tax scenarios, and we review each return with you in a scheduled in-person or virtual meeting. Final tax returns are uploaded to the Vault, and e-filing is completed after we collect your signatures, either in person or through DocuSign.
