Marc has been doing my taxes for years, both when I was a small business owner, and as an individual after I changed careers. My tax returns (as well as the 1099s that his company sent out to my contractors every year) were always submitted to the IRS on time, without need of extensions or revisions. His work has always been painstakingly thorough, checking everything twice, and asking just the right questions to make sure I got the most out of my deductions. I have been extremely satisfied with him as my accountant, and have referred several people to his company including my parents. I trust Marc, and feel lucky to have found someone with such high standards of integrity and attention to detail to handle my accounting needs. I highly recommend Marc and his team.

To put it simply, Marc is incredible. Whether warmly answering my questions and concerns with knowledge and ease, clarifying certain ins and outs of complicated tax matters (especially in terms of being an independent contractor), or giving key guidance to get through what seemed like a tax maze to me, Marc is a godsend. He is patient, always friendly, generous, and reassuring. If he doesn't know the answer to something, he will always tell you where you can go to get that answer. Some advice we asked of Marc was both crucial and significant to my wife and I purchasing our home, and his rates are extremely fair. You can do no wrong with having Marc Drinkwater and Progressive Accounting handling all of your tax-related needs. You will not regret it!

Please reach out to us by phone or email to discuss the services you need us to provide. After that initial contact, if you’d like to hire our firm, we will have you sign our engagement agreement. Once that is signed, you can begin sending us your tax documents (either by mailing hard copies to our office, or uploading digital files to your own secure, confidential client portal). We will provide you with tax organizers to help you compile your tax documents and ensure that no information is omitted. Once we have reviewed your tax info, we will follow-up by email with any questions, or arrange a phone call or video chat for a more detailed discussion.
This can vary widely. A tax return that only reports a single W-2 can probably be completed in 15 minutes; a tax return that reports multiple rental properties could take several hours. To estimate the cost at the onset of a project, we will need a rough overview of the types of items you’ll be reporting. For example, do you own a house? Do you actively trade stocks? Do you have a side business? Do you have children in daycare or in college? If you are a new client, having us review your prior-year tax return will also help us gauge how much work will be needed.
This can vary widely, depending on the nature of the tax return being prepared, and depending on our own availability/workload. Our process is thorough and is designed to ensure that no tax information is omitted, and that no opportunities for tax savings are overlooked. A tax return that may only take a couple days to complete during our slow season may take a couple weeks to complete during our peak season. To help set accurate expectations, please request from us an estimated date of completion at the beginning of our engagement with you.
