Small Business Tax Preparation Services
Tax Preparation Done Right
Most taxpayers are dissatisfied with their tax preparation experience and results. Most tax firms will put your return in an assembly line, not ask pertinent questions, make redundant requests and, when it's completed, ask you to sign the return without an explanation of what's on the return nor what they could do to reduce their taxes on this year's return or in the future.
At Dark Horse, we're here to do more than just file your taxes. We've built our tax preparation experience to be as seamless and easy as possible, asking the right questions along the way and ensuring you understand everything that's on the return and what strategic moves you have at your disposal. We're confident this will be your best tax preparation experience to date.
Our Tax Prep Process
1
Step One
We'll start by looking at last year's return to make sure there are no missed opportunities or IRS red flags. We'll use this return and our knowledge of what has changed in the current year to provide you with a quote.
2
Step Two
Upon client acceptance, we'll send you an invite to a client portal with a digital tax questionnaire customized for your individual situation. In this portal, you'll be able to upload all of your documents securely and answer any questions we may have for you.
3
Step Three
We'll prepare the return and ask any clarifying questions that may arise along the way.
4
Step Four
When your return is complete, we'll be in touch to explain your tax return from top to bottom so that you're confident that no stone has been left unturned.

After years of feeling underwhelmed by every tax professional I worked with, we finally found Chris Ries at Dark Horse. We did a wide search for a CPA who could handle both our business and personal needs. Chris stood out from the start. He's not just deeply knowledgeable about tax law - he's genuinely thoughtful and strategic in how he applies it to your specific situation. What truly sets Chris apart is how responsive and engaged he is throughout the entire year. Our strategy sessions allowed us to get ahead of issues long before tax season, which made the whole process significantly smoother and less stressful.
Kyle T.
With our prior accountant we didn't feel we were receiving adequate tax guidance and felt we were always paying more than our fair share of taxes. We have been very pleased with the service we have received with Adam Ripperdan. He has taken the time to review in detail our current situation and upcoming plans. With that information he has helped us create tax strategies for our businesses, investments, and personal taxes that not only help us save on taxes but also helps us plan for the future. I highly recommend Dark Horse CPAs.
