Tax Accountant for Individuals & Small Businesses in Maine
Thoughtful tax solutions for your peace of mind.
Working with a tax accountant should feel clear, supportive, and well-paced. At Highlight Financials, tax is more than filing forms, it is about understanding your full financial picture and using it to help you move forward with confidence.
Whether you are an individual, a growing business owner, or navigating a more complex tax situation, your tax accountant is here to bring clarity, accuracy, and steady guidance to the process, so everything is handled thoughtfully and you always know where you stand.
Tax Preparation and Filing
Accurate, timely tax preparation is a critical part of a sound financial strategy. As your tax accountant, we take a thoughtful, detail-driven approach that ensures compliance while uncovering opportunities to reduce tax liability where possible.
You have worked hard all year. Now it’s time for your numbers to work just as hard for you.
-
It starts with a conversation. You’ll schedule a brief introductory call so we can understand your goals, review your situation, and confirm we’re the right fit. From there, you’ll receive a clear onboarding checklist and a secure upload link for your documents. No confusion, just confident next steps.
-
Before preparing your return, your tax accountant reviews prior-year filings, current financials, and any major life or business changes. This proactive review helps identify issues early and ensures your return reflects your complete financial story—not just the numbers on the surface.
-
Your return is prepared with care and precision, then reviewed for accuracy and potential savings. We keep you informed throughout the process and review the final return with you before filing—so you understand exactly what’s being submitted and why.
Our work is built on partnership. As a tax preparation client, you receive three consulting hours per year at no additional cost. That means questions answered, planning conversations welcomed, and guidance available when decisions come up, not just at filing time.
-
Transparent pricing, no surprises.
Individual returns start at $400
Business returns start at $630
Final pricing depends on complexity and is confirmed before any work begins. You’ll always know what to expect—and why.
Tax Resolution
Receiving an IRS notice or facing unfiled returns, audits, or back taxes can feel overwhelming. You don’t have to face it alone.
As your tax accountant, we provide experienced tax resolution support and act as your advocate with the IRS and state agencies—handling communication, documentation, and follow-up on your behalf.
-
We begin with a no-pressure introductory call to understand what’s happening and what support you need. If we’re a good fit, you’ll receive an engagement letter and a secure upload link for notices, transcripts, or correspondence.
-
We review your records, tax transcripts, and notices to understand exactly where things stand. Then we outline a clear plan—whether that includes filing past-due returns, setting up a payment plan, or negotiating directly with the IRS.
-
Once the path forward is defined, your tax accountant manages the process from start to finish. You’ll stay informed without having to navigate the IRS yourself. Our goal is simple: restore compliance, reduce stress, and help you move forward with peace of mind.
-
Tax resolution services vary based on complexity. Most clients begin with an initial consultation and document review starting at $300, followed by a clear, upfront quote for the full resolution plan.
