Full cleanup, reconstruction, and tax preparation

This service is designed for artists whose records are significantly disorganized or incomplete. This may include mixed personal and business accounts, missing documentation, multiple sales platforms without usable summaries, or no reliable bookkeeping.

This is a comprehensive, hands-on engagement intended to bring clarity and structure before taxes are filed.

What I provide

• Diagnostic review to assess scope and complexity

• Full cleanup and reconstruction of records necessary for tax filing

• Organization and reconciliation of available data

• Federal and applicable state income tax returns once records are defensible

Required first step

• A paid diagnostic review is required before engagement

• Scope, timing, and estimated hours are confirmed in advance

Timing note

• Availability for this level of work is limited later in the tax season

• “Chaos-level” cleanup requires significant lead time. Early engagement is strongly encouraged. Requests received after March 1 will be accepted as availablility permits.

Typical time commitment
Approximately 8–20+ hours

Billing structure
All services are billed at $160 per hour, with a 1-hour minimum and 10-minute increments thereafter. An initial one-hour retainer is required to secure your place on my schedule and is applied to your first invoice. Estimated hours may vary based on transaction volume, complexity of the tax situation, number of states involved, and whether multiple businesses (multiple Schedule Cs) are included. Any tax filing or government fees assessed by federal, state, or local agencies are billed in addition to the hourly rate. All services and scope of work will be confirmed in an engagement letter prior to the start of work. If scope changes materially, I will discuss this with you before proceeding.
