For far too many people and businesses, taxes are more confusing, stressful, and onerous than they should or need to be.

At Aldaris, we believe in exploration.

Extensive, thoughtful, thorough exploration is the core of our mission and the key to our success. We invite you to read more about the service philosophy that led to the founding of Aldaris and that we still live by today.
We Make Things Simple
Don’t get us wrong, we’re not saying taxes aren’t complicated. There’s so much to keep track of—credits, deductions, itemizations, receipts. And forms … so many forms! And just when you think you’ve got everything figured out and nailed down, new laws throw you for a loop. It gets overwhelming.
That’s why Aldaris is your ideal tax partner. When codes change, we’re genuinely excited to investigate tax laws and your shifting circumstances and weigh the pros and cons of your options. Then, we distill it all and present it in a way that illuminates your different paths forward so that you can choose which is best for you.
Our aim isn’t to dazzle you with our knowledge throughout the process. We’ve seen how tax professionals try to impress clients by overloading them with technical expertise, only to compound the client’s confusion and anxiety. Our standards of success are clarity and concision, not over-explanation and excess information. Our guidance is easy to understand and follow, giving you the confidence to make decisions that best align with your personal and financial goals.

Frequently
Asked Questions!
How long should I retain my financial records?
You should keep your financial and tax records for at least three years as the IRS typically has three years to examine your records.
How do I check the status of my tax return?
To check the status of your return, go to https://www.irs.gov/refunds and click on “Check My Refund Status.” You will need to provide personal information to verify who you are before you can view the status of your tax refund.
What should I bring to my first tax consultation?
If you are individual tax payer, bring at least two years of tax returns. If you are a corporation or a small business, you should bring at least three years of tax returns as well as three years of financial statements. Likewise, whether you are an individual or corporation, you should bring any documents you wish us to review and advise you on.
I’m a sole proprietor, do I really need a CPA?
It depends. If a sole proprietor is not used to keeping track of their time, maintaining a set of books, and is overwhelmed with the taxation of sole proprietors (as well as setting aside funds for taxes), then this would be the opportunity to reach out to an accountant.
How often should I talk to my accountant?
It depends. For individuals, at least once per year, usually in the third quarter, is the best time to reach out to your accountant. For corporate clients, at least two times per year. Some individuals and corporations may need to see their accountant more as unique tax situations arise throughout the year.
How much does an accountant cost?
This is a common question we receive. Every accountant has their own method of billing clients. We recommend that rather looking at cost only, you should evaluate the services an accountant offers and determine if there is value in those services. Our practice employs a hybrid of fixed fee and value-based billing.
