Thank you!

by | Nov 1, 2022 | Community, Team

To our valued clients & friends,

What a tax year this has been! With all the changes to current tax laws and the tax and accounting industry it definitely keeps things interesting. We speak with CPA’s, firm owners and other business professionals who all strive to provide excellent service. We are not struggling alone.

There are a few things we did not do as well as we would have hoped for. It took too long to complete tax returns that were on extension and our communication with clients, future clients, friends, and colleagues needed improvement.

On the other hand, the things we did well consisted of completing tax returns on time (including extensions) for those who gave us documents in a timely manner. We strengthened our TEAM by adding a new Office Manager, Lisa Haiss,  and Staff Accountant, Josh Legant. We continue to strengthen our policies and procedures to improve on the things we did not do well.

We are incredibly grateful for, and overwhelmed by, the amazing support that we continue to receive from the community, our family and colleagues.

We owe everything to our wonderful clients, and we want to THANK YOU for your patience, your understanding, and your trust.

We will spend the remainder of the year doing tax planning, further strengthening our processes, and preparing for the next tax season.

From the bottom of our hearts, Thank You!

We are sure the 2022 tax season will have its fair share of challenges, but we are excited to tackle any that we face, and we look forward to doing it with you.

Sincerely,
Matthew R. Senter and Senter, CPA Team

Confessions of a Bookkeeper

Let’s clear something up right away: bookkeeping is not just typing numbers into a spreadsheet while drinking coffee and judging people’s expense decisions.

Well, it’s partly that. But there’s so much more to it.

So You Filed Your Taxes… Now What?

You did it. You gathered the documents, answered the questions, signed where needed, and got your tax return filed. If we helped prepare it for you, we can confidently say you handled your part like a pro. Now comes the part nobody loves but everyone participates in anyway: waiting for your refund.
