QUALITY 

 How do you know if you're getting the best Accountant? Contrary to popular belief, you can NOT tell if it's a "good" tax return by how much you "get back" at the end of the year. It's like judging a used car by the paint job. You can't tell until you look under the hood and take it for a test drive.

PRICE

These days everyone's watching the bottom line. So why not enjoy big firm experience at small firm prices. We offer a competitive pricing structured around "what services you need". Ask about the BUNDLED SERVICE PLAN our all-inclusive monthly fee, which includes "unlimited calls and e-mails" so you never get a bill for talking to you CPA.

SERVICE 

Most people are reluctant to switch accounting firms until something devastating happens. A huge tax bill, or worse, an Audit. Why wait until it is too late? If you have a gut feeling that somethings not right... you're probably right. Are you getting all the deductions available? Do you feel like your accountant doesn't have time for you? Or even worse, that they are too small for you? If so, it may be time to make a switch.

HONESTY 

Have you been talked into a Nevada or Delaware Corporation when you live and do business in California? Don't waste your money. So many people have been sold on the idea of complicated shell corporations with promises of little to no taxes, or to set up a costly and complex web of inter-related corporations and LLCs for "liability purposes" when all they may need is a simple S-Corporation. As a business owner myself I hate wasting my time and your money. Honest advise from honest people is what you will get!

FIRM CULTURE 

Our focus is to help educate our clients. The more you know, the better our relationship. We have all had that "bad" boss, who didn't appreciate us or value the effort and experience we brought to the table. Here at WOLF CPA, we treat our staff like family. A paycheck is not enough. Most people want what I call an "emotional paycheck". It makes work a happier place and clients sense those things.

THE RIGHT QUESTIONS?

It can be difficult at times to know when and where to ask the right question. The old adage of "there's no such thing as a stupid question" or "it doesn't hurt to ask" just don't work when it comes to running a profitable business. 

How many business mistakes can you make before it does hurt? Asking the wrong question at the wrong time can open up conversations and unwanted inquires that were not even a topic before you asked the question. Especially when you're dealing with the IRS. 

One right question could be, "what can I do to prevent an audit?" or "what can I do to limit my business risk?". Unfortunately, there is very little that can be done after the fact. Once that return has been filed or those financial statements have been issued now you have address those issues and be able to prove what was filed. And if the numbers don't match, the IRS starts asking "how many other things don't match?"  You can't just rewrite history once you've spent the money. Many people believe the IRS is inept. Well, I am here to tell you that is NOT the case. They are highly trained "financial assassins" with a uncanny intuition for when someone is lying or hiding something and the ability to financially devastate you and your business... If you haven't done your due diligence. They don't care if you go out of business or if you can't afford to pay the tax. All they care about is the law and if you can prove that you are in compliance. So don't give them that power. 

Using a professional to do your accounting is like buying insurance. It will only help to protect your business from "financial" predators. Do you have the time and money to fight the IRS and other government agencies that have the right to audit you? It's money well spent. Will it guarantee that you will not be audited? NO. But filing a tax return with glaring errors is a sure fire way of calling down the wrath of the IRS and turn you into an easy target. I've represent several clients that either filed their own business returns, or had an under-qualified tax preparer who triggered an audit by simply putting deductions in the wrong box. These simple input errors ended up costing them tens of thousands of dollars in taxes and penalties, not to mention expensive legal representation... because you NEVER want to take on the IRS on your own. Plus weeks of preparing documents, worksheets and sorting receipts, not to mention the sleepless nights. Is it worth it? If you're thinking, "Yes... it's worth saving a couple hundred dollars in accounting fees", then you're NOT the right client for us. We're not the cheapest, but do you really want the cheapest CPA? Probably not. You want someone with a good reputation, a good track record, and someone you can talk to. If that's the case, then look no further.

So how much will this cost me? In this case the old adage is true. You get what you pay for. We have several service options that allow you to mix and match the service level to the price you can afford. And let's be honest, as you grow you become a bigger target. You may have outgrown that beloved bookkeeper or Enrolled Agent. Maybe it's time to have the conversation. Maybe it's time for a higher level professional. Not just a "Tax Guy", but someone who has the education and experience to help your business and take you to the next level. 

Your CPA should be the first line of defense to help position you for success and help you navigate the treacherous waters of business compliance. Your CPA should be a business advisor, a sounding board, not just a score keeper to add up the income and expenses at the end of the year and crank out a return. If that's what you are getting then you're not fully utilizing your CPA. It's up to you to communicate your needs. Don't wait. It's easy... it's painless... and doesn't cost anything to get a second opinion. 

If you have taken the time to read this page, and you sense that "something is different about these guys", then listen to that little voice and make the call that can change your life.
