We prepare taxes, plan taxes and argue with the IRS on your behalf. Tax consultants up front, CPAs on staff for the hard stuff, fees agreed in writing before we start. Not one photo of people forced to smile.
Most of our work is billed by the hour, starting at $400. Some business work can be a flat fee. Either way, you get an estimate in writing before we start. Surprises are for birthdays, not invoices.
Your Form 1040 prepared and e-filed by your tax consultant and reviewed by a CPA, with a walkthrough call before you sign.
Returns for sole proprietors, LLCs, S-corps and partnerships, filed on time every time.
Boring, like neurosurgery. Also like neurosurgery, much better done before something goes wrong.
Got a letter from the IRS? Don't open it alone. A few years unfiled? We've seen worse.
Also available for tax clients: monthly bookkeeping and payroll, so your shoebox of receipts can finally retire.
Every deadline gets a reminder. Every reminder says exactly what we need. No pithy text.
Enter your expected net profit for 2026. You'll get a rough federal estimate. Florida has no state income tax, so this is the whole bill for most of our clients.
A rough estimate using 2026 federal brackets, the standard deduction and a simplified qualified business income deduction. It leaves out credits, itemized deductions and other income. It's a calculator, not a consultant. Call us for a real number.
Three of the calls we get most. If one of these sounds like you, you're in the right place.
Receipts in a box, a bank login and a deadline. We sort it, file it, and check whether an S-corp would save you money next year.
Don't open it alone. Send it to us. We read it, tell you what it actually means, and write the response.
One last part-year return for the old state, Florida residency documented properly, and no more state income tax.
XVI Accounting is a small tax firm on purpose. You get a tax consultant who actually knows you, instead of a different preparer every spring. Our consultants handle returns, planning and IRS issues, and our CPAs review the work.
Most of our clients came because someone told them about us. We like it that way. We'd rather spend our time on your return than on large, useless graphics. And no, we still won't tell you what 16 has to do with it.
“If you ever learn about a tax bill from the IRS instead of from us, we haven't done our job.”
Or book a free 20-minute call. Tell us what you need and what's keeping you up at night.
A tax consultant looks for missed deductions and anything the IRS might question.
A flat fee or an hourly rate, whichever fits your work, agreed before we begin.
Portal access, a calendar of your deadlines and a consultant who knows your file.
Each year we keep the books and file the Form 990 for a few Palm Beach County nonprofits at no cost. Every dollar they don't spend on accounting goes to the people they serve.
Run a local nonprofit? Tell us about it →Individual returns and tax planning are billed hourly, starting at $400 an hour. After a quick look at last year's return, you get an estimate in writing before any work begins.
Mostly by the hour, starting at $400, with time tracked and itemized on every invoice. Some business work can be a flat fee instead. We'll recommend what fits, and you agree to it before we start.
Last year's tax return is the most useful thing. If you're a business owner, bring access to your bookkeeping software or your bank statements. That's enough to get started.
Yes. We file back returns, respond to IRS and Florida Department of Revenue notices, and set up payment plans. The sooner you send the letter, the more options you have.
We wiped it. The only thing more stale than the photos were the inside jokes. This one has a calculator.
No. Many clients never visit. Documents go through a secure portal, and meetings happen by phone or video. You're always welcome to stop by for coffee, though.
Often yes, once your profit passes a certain point, but it depends on your income, payroll costs and plans. We run the numbers on your actual figures during the consult.
Florida has no state income tax, but your old state may still want a final part-year return. We help you file it and document your Florida residency properly.
Yes, for our tax clients. Monthly bookkeeping and payroll keep your numbers ready at filing time, but tax work is the heart of the practice.
Documents are exchanged through an encrypted client portal, never by plain email. We follow IRS data security requirements for tax professionals.
Call us and ask. Some things are better on the phone.
Someone told you about us, so ask them for our number. Or just use the one below. Pick up the phone and call.
We prefer the phone. If you must type, use the form and a tax consultant will reply the same business day.
