Services
Year-round help, not just a filing season
Most clients come for their tax return and stay because it is easier to have one person who already understands their situation.
Business tax returns
Sole proprietors, LLCs, partnerships and S corporations. Kathy also helps you choose the right business structure before you file, which is often where the real savings are.
Tax planning
A mid-year review so April has no surprises: quarterly estimated payments, retirement contributions, timing of large purchases, and what a pay raise or side business will cost you in tax.
Payroll & payroll tax filings
Paychecks, quarterly payroll returns, Arizona withholding and unemployment filings, and year-end W-2s and 1099s, done on time so penalties never start.
Notices and tax problems
Got a letter from the IRS or the Arizona Department of Revenue? Kathy reads it, explains it in plain English, and responds for you. Prior-year and unfiled returns, too.

About Kathy
A Flagstaff CPA for more than 25 years
Kathy Oliver is a Certified Public Accountant licensed in Arizona. She has spent her career preparing individual and small-business tax returns, and she has built her practice one referral at a time. Clients describe her as competent, patient and kind, which is what you want from the person reading your financial life.
Her practice is deliberately small. That means no hand-offs to a junior preparer you have never met, and no call center. When you have a question in July, you reach Kathy.

Questions
Common questions
What should I bring to my first appointment?
Last year's tax return, your W-2s and 1099s, mortgage and property-tax statements, records of charitable gifts, and anything from the IRS or the Arizona Department of Revenue. If you own a business, bring a profit-and-loss summary or your QuickBooks login. Kathy sends a full checklist when you book.
How much does a tax return cost?
Fees depend on how complex your return is, not a flat rate for everyone. Kathy quotes a range after your first conversation, before any work begins.
Are you taking new clients?
Yes, with limited openings each season. The earliest spots go to people who reach out in January.
Can we work together if I'm not in Flagstaff?
Yes. Many clients send documents electronically and meet by phone. Kathy prepares Arizona returns and returns for clients who have moved away but kept her as their CPA.
