The questionnaire is an important tool for us. By completing the questionnaire in advance of the complimentary phone call, you get to bypass the mundane questions and get to the meat of your tax issues and concerns. Also, if there are any particular items that are not in our wheelhouse, we let you know in advance and connect you with a CPA we know will better fit.
