Why Prescott clients choose our CPA firm

Retirement changes the tax question from what did I earn into which account do I draw from and when. Business owners have a parallel question about salary, distributions and entity choice. Both are planning problems, and both get answered badly when the only contact with your accountant happens in April. K&R is a full service firm with 1000+ active clients, a 4.9 Google rating, CPAs and Enrolled Agents on staff, and a practice built around the eleven months that decide the filing.

Retirement income sequencing
Arizona does not tax Social Security benefits and fully exempts military retirement pay, which changes the math on which account to draw first, when to convert to a Roth, and how required distributions land.

WHO WE WORK WITH

How the accounting relationship starts

We open with a free consultation, then read your prior tax returns and, for retirees, the shape of your accounts. That review usually turns up a missed deduction, an exposure worth closing and one action still available this month. The recommendations arrive in writing, we carry them out together, and your accountant stays reachable between filing seasons instead of disappearing until next year.

Arizona tax rules that shape a Prescott return

Arizona taxes the seller through the Transaction Privilege Tax rather than taxing the buyer through a sales tax, and Prescott layers its own municipal rate over the state and Yavapai County figures. Retail, contracting and commercial leasing each sit in a separate classification, and a builder registered under the wrong one usually finds out through a letter. On the individual side, Arizona leaves Social Security benefits out of taxable income and exempts military retirement pay in full, which affects Roth conversion planning and the order of withdrawals. Rates and thresholds get checked against current Department of Revenue publications, not last year's notes.
Most tax firms see you once a year. We build long-term relationships because consistent guidance compounds over time.

FAQs

Get answers to common questions about our tax preparation, accounting, and advisory services for businesses and individuals in your area.
Does Arizona tax my Social Security or pension income in Prescott?
Arizona does not tax Social Security benefits and fully exempts military retirement pay. Other pensions and IRA withdrawals are generally taxable at the state level, which is exactly why the order you draw from your accounts matters more than most people expect.
I run a contracting business in Prescott. Which tax trips people up?
Transaction Privilege Tax classification. Contracting is treated differently from retail, and a business registered under the wrong classification, or working across several Yavapai County jurisdictions, is the usual source of a state notice.
Is a Roth conversion worth doing in retirement?
Sometimes, and it depends on the years around it. We model the conversion against your bracket, required distributions and Medicare thresholds before recommending an amount, rather than converting a round number and hoping.
Can you work with us from Mesa without regular travel?
Yes. Prescott clients use the encrypted portal and video meetings, with replies inside 1-2 business days. If you want an in person review, the Mesa office is at 6861 E Main St.
We own a rental in Prescott and one out of state. Can you handle both?
Yes. We prepare returns in all 50 states, so out of state rental income, multi state filings and nonresident returns are handled in the same engagement.
What accounting services do you offer Prescott clients?
Tax preparation and tax planning for individuals and businesses, bookkeeping and financial statements, payroll services, entity formation and restructuring, estate and trust returns, and IRS representation. Most Prescott clients start with the tax return and add bookkeeping or payroll once they see the reporting.
How much does tax preparation cost for a Prescott client?
It depends on the entity, the number of schedules and the condition of the bookkeeping, so we quote after the free consultation instead of publishing a price that would not apply to you. You get the figure in writing before any work starts.

Tax preparation and tax planning services

Individual tax returns, partnership and S corporation returns, rental schedules, estates, and filings for individuals with income in more than one state. Preparation is the visible part of the service. The number itself is shaped earlier by entity choice, owner compensation, the Arizona small business income election, the timing of a sale or a purchase, and how quarterly estimated payments are calculated. For retirees the same planning logic applies to withdrawals rather than payroll, and we run those projections before December.

Bookkeeping, accounting and CFO advisory

Bookkeeping services keep your accounts reconciled in QuickBooks Online, monthly financial statements go out inside 30 days of close, and the reporting includes cash flow and the KPIs that matter for your business rather than a bare profit and loss. Part time CFO sessions run three or four times a year for owners who want to think through pricing, hiring or a buyout with an experienced advisor. Accounts over $350K in annual revenue keep a dedicated account manager.

When You Should Hire a Tax Professional for IRS Representation
Not every IRS notice requires professional help, but audits, substantial back taxes, and collection actions like levies or liens are clear signs that handling it alone can cost you far more than hiring the right representation.
