Three rules we don't bend
Quoted before we start
You get a number in writing after we've seen what your return involves. If the scope changes, we re-quote before doing the work — never after.
No percentage of your refund
Our fee is based on the work, not on what the IRS sends you. Anyone charging a share of your refund has an incentive that isn't yours.
The consultation is free
The conversation where we work out what you need and what it costs doesn't carry a charge, whether or not you go ahead.
Prices shown are starting points for straightforward returns of each type and are not a quote. Rental property, multiple states, prior-year filings and business complexity all change the number. Call 313-771-4400 and you’ll have a real figure in one conversation.
What people say after they've paid it
Every quote is flat and agreed before any work starts — here's what clients made of the result.
“She helped me take my credit score from 420 to 740 in just a few months — and went back to fix my taxes from previous years too. She filed my amendments, found deductions I didn't even know I missed, and made sure I got the max return.”
“Lashanda's been doing my taxes for years and I trust her completely. She breaks everything down so it's easy to understand and never misses a detail.”
“I was going through a rough time and everything felt overwhelming. She took it off my plate, explained where I stood, and I finally stopped avoiding the mail.”
Never miss a tax deadline again
Quarterly dates, filing reminders and the deductions people miss — sent when they matter, not all year round. Free.
