What to expect
A friendly 30 minutes to get to know your situation, hear what you’re looking for, and answer any questions. From there, we’ll send a tailored proposal that fits what you actually need.
A note on how we work: tax preparation, monthly accounting, and entity setup are available on their own. Proactive tax planning comes paired with prep and ongoing support, so your strategy stays coordinated year-round.
Questions we’ll answer
- What services do you offer and what level is right for me?
- How can Taxstra help reduce my specific tax burden?
- What will a tax planning engagement look like?
- How much will your services cost given my situation?
No judgment. No confusing jargon. Just clear, honest answers and a secure, digital-first process. If we’re not the right fit, we’ll tell you, and point you in the right direction.

Common questions.
Is the discovery call really free?
Yes, 100%. The 30-minute consultation is completely complimentary. We use this time to understand your situation and determine if we can add value. There's no obligation to hire us afterward.
What should I have ready for the call?
No preparation is strictly required, but it helps to have a general idea of your current income sources, any business entities you own, and any specific tax concerns you want to discuss. We'll guide the conversation from there.
Do you work with clients outside of Illinois?
Absolutely. We work with clients in all 50 states. Our fully digital process means location is never a barrier, and we handle multi-state filings routinely for anyone with income or property in more than one state.
What if I just need simple tax preparation?
That is completely fine. We provide accurate, thorough tax preparation for individuals and businesses of all sizes, whether or not you ever want planning or accounting on top. The discovery call helps us match you with the right service level, with no pressure to add more.
Ready when you are.
Whatever you need, it starts with one conversation.
