The short answer
AZ Easy CPA does not prepare tax returns or process payroll in house. We work with trusted tax and payroll partners instead. We keep your books accurate and organized all year, then share what your partner needs, so tax season and payroll run smoothly.
Why do we use partners for tax and payroll?
Bookkeeping, tax preparation and payroll each reward specialists. Keeping our focus on your books means we do that work well, and your partners get records they can actually use.
It also means you are never stuck. If you already have a tax preparer or payroll provider you like, we will happily work with them. If you do not, we will introduce you to people we trust.
Who do we partner with?
Business and personal tax returns
Our tax partners prepare business returns and the owner's personal return from the books we keep, and handle tax planning conversations like quarterly estimates.
Payroll processing and filings
Our payroll partners run paychecks and payroll tax filings. We make sure payroll lands in your books correctly every pay period, including for S-Corp owners paying themselves a salary.
Already have someone?
Keep them. We coordinate with your existing CPA, tax preparer, payroll company, attorney or lender and send them what they need.
