Why founders here switch firms

K&R has structured its practice to provide year round client attention, serving clients nationwide. A growing Tempe company that adds staff in another state or signs a customer elsewhere stays with one team, and we determine whether you need to file in that state.

WHO WE WORK WITH

What the engagement looks like

Everything begins with a discovery call focused on understanding your situation. After that, we examine your file closely, checking for planning opportunities and items that need prompt attention. We put those recommendations in writing, carry out the plan alongside you, and keep revisiting it as your company grows.

FAQs

Get answers to common questions about our tax preparation, accounting, and advisory services for businesses and individuals in your area.
Does K&R have a Tempe office?
We operate from a single office in Mesa and support Tempe clients remotely through portal uploads and scheduled video or phone calls. Most clients handle everything this way without needing to visit in person.
Who actually prepares the returns?
Our preparers include credentialed CPAs and licensed Enrolled Agents. With your authorization, Enrolled Agents can represent you before the IRS if a filing is later questioned.
How much will my return cost?
Pricing depends on your entity type, the number of applicable schedules and the state of your bookkeeping, and we provide an exact figure after reviewing your situation on the discovery call. We provide that figure in writing before work begins.
Will you prepare my business return and my personal return together?
Yes, and for a founder that matters because your salary, distributions and payroll choices all flow into your personal filing. We plan both returns together, reviewing how your entity decisions affect your personal liability before either is filed.
We are behind with our current accountant. Can you step in?
We begin by reviewing what has already been filed and checking for missed deadlines or unresolved notices. Once that review is finished, we transition you onto our standard filing and reporting schedule, usually starting with the discovery call and file review steps.
