Brown Chism & Thompson PLLC

Tax returns for individuals, companies and trusts in Tulsa

Brown, Chism & Thompson PLLC, a Tulsa, Oklahoma firm, has several CPAs on its staff and works as a certified public accounting practice. Its tax work runs from simple individual returns through to complex business and multi-state filings. The firm prepares personal income tax returns and plans for individuals, federal and all US states, as well as returns for S corporations, C corporations and LLC or partnership businesses. It also handles non-profit organizations, trusts and estates.

Business returns across several states

Business clients get federal and state income tax returns for entities including S corporations, C corporations, LLCs and partnerships. Where a business works in more than one state, the firm prepares the multi-state returns that go with it, which is the part of the work the firm presents as its most complex. The aim is to keep each filing correct for the state it is due in.

Checking returns before they are filed

The firm says every return is checked and re-checked for the issues the IRS typically flags, and that the arithmetic is reviewed carefully to ensure it is right and to limit contact with the tax authority. Returns are filed electronically, which the firm says allows a client to receive a refund as quickly as possible.

Help with problems with the IRS

Where a client already has a problem with the Internal Revenue Service, the firm offers to help resolve it efficiently and discreetly. Its list of typical problems includes receiving an IRS audit notice, failing to file tax returns, needing more time to pay a tax bill, and needing to reach a settlement with the IRS. The firm presents this as work it does regularly for clients in these positions.

Responsiveness, quality and professionalism

The firm names three principles that guide its work: professionalism, responsiveness and quality. It says that its CPAs are easy to contact and ready to answer questions, and that its attention to detail when preparing accounts and reports means clients can rely on what is submitted. Responsiveness is presented as one of the reasons clients in the Oklahoma region stay with the firm.

Personal and business clients, large and small

The firm works with individuals, small businesses and larger organizations. It says it offers a personal level of service, planning for each client's tax needs and dealing with any tax problems that need resolving. Its staff of certified public accountants is described as bringing a wide range of accounting and tax experience to each engagement.
