More Than Just Tax Returns
Services
To paraphrase Benjamin Franklin’s famous quote “In this world, nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes.”
At BWCO we like to also think that you can be certain to find a fabulous group of hard-working women, dedicated to the craft of not making your taxes feel like death!
In all seriousness though, we love what we do, and hope you find we have so much more to offer than just a tax return.

Our Tax Process

Enjoy the convenience of a streamlined experience as we navigate the intricacies of taxation together.
1. Client Outreach & Coordination
Each January we craft a highly sought-after tax packet (or as clients refer to them “that tax thing”), which we then send out to our individual and business clients. The packets include a “what’s new in the tax year” intro, a detailed tax questionnaire, and a lengthy and boring, yet very much required tax engagement letter.
Upon receipt of all client documents, we will start the process of digitizing documents. This start date is predicated on how you provide these documents to us. Is the document packet complete, or will we have to hound you fifteen times for missing items? Are the electronic images readable and in a format that doesn’t require a secret decoder ring? It’s helpful that you open and read the packet mentioned above to ensure a smooth document experience. Also, NO text message images – this is for your security and our sanity!
2. Preparation
An experienced member of our tax team will initially review your digitized support document file and prepare a draft of your tax return. She may contact you with questions and/or requests for missing information.
The quicker you respond to our team, the faster your return will move through our process. Once our tax team is finished with their part, the return will be put into your CPA’s “review queue”.
3. Review & Delivery
Your CPA reviews and finalizes your tax return and will contact you to discuss your tax return and coordinate any refund or payment arrangement details. She will also discuss any significant changes from the prior year and answer any questions you may have. During this conversation, we may also suggest additional tax estimates and/or check-ins throughout the upcoming year.
Your CPA will then send you a secure electronic copy of your return for review and signature through DocuSign and our client portal system.
Once you have digitally signed your tax return, a signed copy notification will be returned to us, which indicates that you have reviewed your tax return and authorize us to file it electronically with the IRS. We will e-file your tax return with the IRS within 2-3 business days of receiving the signature notification.
