What is the process of working with Brass Tax Services?

The process begins with a free consultation where we will discuss your specific tax & accounting needs and answer any questions you may have. From there, we will create a plan based on your specific needs and work with you to gather the necessary information needed to complete the project.

Do you offer monthly accounting services?

Yes. We offer ongoing monthly service plans for businesses, which can include bookkeeping, payroll, tax planning, tax preparation and compliance work. Plans are tailored to the services you need, and we'll discuss the details during your free consultation.

How much do monthly accounting services cost?

Monthly plans currently start at $199/month for Tax Essentials, $349/month for Business Accounting and $499/month for Full-Service Business. Your final price depends on the services you need and the complexity of your business, and is agreed upon before services begin.

What can be included in a monthly accounting plan?

Depending on the plan and your needs, a monthly plan may include bookkeeping, account reconciliation, payroll support, payroll-tax compliance, year-round tax planning, quarterly estimated-tax guidance, business tax preparation, owner personal tax preparation and general accounting and compliance support. Some work, such as cleanup or special projects, may be quoted separately.

Can you handle my bookkeeping?

Yes. We can keep your books organized and up to date throughout the year so your business is ready for tax season and you have a clear picture of where you stand.

My bookkeeping is behind. Can you help clean it up?

Yes. We can help bring your books up to date. Cleanup work is typically quoted separately based on how far behind the records are and how complex they are.

Do you offer payroll services?

Yes. We can set up and maintain payroll records, calculate and deposit payroll taxes, and prepare and file required payroll tax forms.

Can you handle my bookkeeping, payroll and taxes together?

Yes. Bringing bookkeeping, payroll, tax planning and tax preparation together under one relationship is what our monthly plans are designed for, so you don't have to coordinate separate providers.

Can you handle both my business and personal tax returns?

Yes. We prepare business tax returns as well as personal returns for business owners and individual clients.

Can Brass Tax Services take over from my current accountant?

Yes. We can work with you to transition your accounting and tax work, gather the records we need and pick up where your previous provider left off.

Should my business elect S-Corp status?

It depends on your situation. S-Corp election can offer tax advantages for some businesses, but it isn't the right fit for everyone and comes with added requirements such as reasonable owner compensation and payroll. We'll review your circumstances and help you decide whether electing or converting to an S-Corp makes sense.

What is an Enrolled Agent?

An Enrolled Agent is a tax professional federally authorized by the U.S. Department of the Treasury to represent taxpayers before the IRS. Seth Hendrixson, owner of Brass Tax Services, is an IRS Enrolled Agent.

Can you represent me before the IRS?

Yes. As an Enrolled Agent, Seth can represent taxpayers before the IRS on matters such as audits, notices and other tax issues, working to protect your rights.

How do I know my tax return is accurate and complete?

We are dedicated to providing personalized and accurate service. We stay up to date on the latest tax laws and regulations, and we use professional tax software along with careful review procedures to support accurate and complete preparation of your return.

What is the cost of your services?

Pricing depends on the complexity of your situation and the services you need. Ongoing monthly plans currently start at: Tax Essentials — $199/month; Business Accounting — $349/month; Full-Service Business — $499/month. Final pricing depends on factors such as transaction volume, number of employees, number of entities, filing requirements and complexity. Bookkeeping cleanup, IRS representation, entity formation, complex sales-tax filings, insurance audits and other special projects may be quoted separately.

Do I have to live in the Denver area to work with you?

No. We serve clients across Colorado, and much of our work can be handled by phone and email.
