L.C. Miller CPA, PS

Fixed fees based on how complicated a return is, rather than on its size or the hours it takes, set L.C. Miller CPA, PS apart from many tax preparers. The practice, led by a certified public accountant, says it avoids raising fees every year and keeping only the clients willing to pay more, and calls its model a low-price approach with high customer satisfaction.

Personal tax returns

Individual federal and state returns are filed electronically for fast processing and quick refunds. The firm includes a free review of the previous year's return to check for missed deductions or credits, and says a client who is unhappy with the result may decline the return without paying. It also notes that self-preparation suits some people, but small mistakes can add up.

Business tax returns

For companies, the firm prepares returns for all business types, including S corporations and partnerships.

Bookkeeping and payroll

Qualified bookkeepers handle data entry, reconciliation and reporting so an owner can concentrate on running the business and not on the paperwork. For payroll, the client enters employees' basic hours and wages and the firm takes care of the rest.

Review by an experienced CPA

Every return passes through the review of a CPA who, the firm says, has more than twenty-four years of experience across taxes, accounting and banking.

Ways to hand over documents and meet

The practice aims to fit around the client. Tax documents can be mailed to a post office box, scanned and sent digitally, uploaded through the website, sent to a dedicated texting number or picked up by staff for clients who live nearby. Those who cannot meet in person can prepare their return over a computer conference or a phone call, so the process works for people far from the office.
