Books reviewed
CPA review of your accounting software file + a 2-page financial pack with commentary.
For professional-service firms · DMV metro
TFS is the structured tax and advisory partner for professional-service owners — attorneys, physicians and dentists, consultants, and agency principals. One package, a written cadence, and a CPA/EA who reviews your numbers monthly, not once a year in April.
Final scope and pricing depend on your facts and a signed engagement letter.
Built for
Owner-led professional firms — typically an S-corp or PLLC with real revenue, a payroll, and books in a supported accounting platform. You bill for expertise, your time is the inventory, and your tax picture is dominated by owner compensation, entity structure, and quarterly estimates.
Solo professionals earlier in the arc — a side practice, a first year of self-employment — usually fit Foundation rather than Growth, and we’ll say so in the fit conversation.
The frictions
Each answered by a structural feature — a cadence, not a promise.
Estimates that surprise. Quarterly payments set once in April, wrong by October.
Estimates recalculated on cadence, from books a CPA actually reviewed that month.
Owner pay by gut feel. Salary vs. distribution decided at year-end, defensively.
Owner compensation reviewed on the quarterly advisory call, documented before year-end.
Books that lag decisions. Hiring and pricing calls made on quarter-old numbers.
Monthly CPA review with a 2-page financial pack and commentary — visibility on a schedule.
April as an ambush. One conversation a year, after everything is already decided.
A November planning session and a December strategy letter, every year, by design.
A practice year on cadence
Map it against your own year — this is the segment’s strongest proof.
CPA review of your accounting software file + a 2-page financial pack with commentary.
A 60-minute strategy call; estimated payments recalculated and scheduled.
90 minutes on year-end moves — before the year closes, while choices still exist.
Your annual tax strategy, in writing.
Business and owner returns prepared and e-filed — no ambush, because nothing is new.
Cadence shown is the Growth rhythm — the most common fit for established practices. Growth requires current books; if books need cleanup, that’s a named add-on (ONB-Books) before the cadence starts. Foundation and Executive run their own written cadences.
Which package
Same prices, same caveat — we recommend the fit after a conversation and CPA review.
Solo professionals and early practices — year-round tax support, quarterly estimates, Q4 planning.
Is Foundation right for me?The established practice — monthly CPA review, quarterly advisory, November planning, current books required.
Is Growth the right fit?Multi-entity owners — practice plus real estate, management entities, trusts, or a transaction ahead.
