Why it’s different here
At The Tax Standard, we do more than file your return. We keep our calendar intentionally small so every client gets unmatched attention ensuring your confidence in the process from day one.
You choose the date your return will be ready by reserving your Tax Return Ready Date. Submit docs one week before, and we stick to the deadline.
Our pricing is simple and based on complexity of your taxes. You will know what it costs before you start. No surprises, ever.
Your taxes will be handled by a licensed Certified Public Accountant who works for you (not the IRS). Plus, we know you’ll love her.
I don’t stack hundreds of returns. Rather, I take on fewer clients so I can give each tax return the attention it needs. Your return isn’t just another file, it’s personal and I treat it that way.
You’ll always know the status, the cost, and what’s next… no confusion, no chasing updates. Every step is clearly communicated so you’re never left in the dark.
who we’re built for
You want more than “just taxes.” You want clear timelines, upfront pricing, and a real CPA who keeps you in the loop from start to finish. You’re comfortable with secure online tools, value peace of mind, and expect your return done right the first time.
If you value organization, clarity, and timely results, welcome. You’ll feel right at home here.
“Working with Jessica was an outstanding experience from start to finish. Her communication was clear, timely, and incredibly helpful. We had a particularly challenging business tax situation, and she handled it with expertise and professionalism — took the time to explain our options and ensured we felt comfortable with every decision.”
“She communicated frequently and clearly, so I always knew exactly what to expect. I was so impressed with the spreadsheets and the video overview of my tax return. Highly recommend!”
“She spelled out the process, pricing (very fair) and gave us an easy to follow online interface. Once I did my part she got everything done in a day or two. The Tax Standard is our new CPA!”
“She’s organized, quick and communicates exactly what she needs. I never had unanswered questions and never felt pressured or rushed. Taxes were very easy this year.”
Transparent pricing, tailored to you.
For those who (dare I say…) expect more than just numbers punched into software. I dig deep to uncover every deduction and credit you deserve so your return is accurate, optimized, and stress-free.

per activity
For sole proprietorship, self-employment, side income, and investment properties.
Running a business and managing rentals is no small feat (I get it!). That’s why I make sure you claim every deduction and reduce your tax liability, so you keep more of what you’ve rightfully earned.
starting at
For businesses and organizations operating as separate entities, returns begin at $1,000. Final pricing reflects the quality of your financials and the overall complexity involved.
This service includes full entity-level preparation, basis tracking (where applicable), and a thorough review to ensure everything is reported accurately and aligned with your broader tax picture.
ANSWERS BEFORE YOU NEED THEM
If you value accuracy, clear communication, and you’re comfortable using digital tools in a calm, non-rushed process, then yes, this is likely a great fit. I work best with individuals and families who are organized and want a high-quality tax prep experience without the stress of last-minute filing.
Sound great? I’d love to work together. Book a call with me to make it official.
It’s a simple four-step flow, and I lay it all out here: How It Works
In January, clients of The Tax Standard will receive an email to reserve a Tax Return Ready Date. Dates are first-come, first-served, and I recommend booking early to secure your preferred timeline.
Your fee includes:

Absolutely. You can schedule a 30-minute call to review everything together. I want you to feel confident and informed before you sign.
I’m a wife and mom to four busy kiddos first, and a CPA second. That’s why I intentionally limit the number of clients I take on each season. It allows me to give every return the care it deserves, while also showing up fully at home. It’s my way of balancing family life with doing work I love.
Extensions only give you more time to file, not more time to pay taxes owed.
At this time, I support extensions on a case-by-case basis. Also, you’ll never get a last minute phone call from me requesting an extension because I ran out of time. Here, extensions are always planned.
To keep things streamlined and efficient, my process is fully remote. That said, you’ll always have the opportunity to meet with me over Zoom or phone if you’d like personal guidance.
Protecting your sensitive financial data is our top priority. We’re compliant with FTC Safeguards rule, ensuring your information remains completely safe and secure (as long as you don’t email it to us directly). We take data privacy seriously so you can rest assured that your confidential details are in very responsible hands.
Great! Just book a call with me here and I’d love to get those questions answered.
Breathe…
Let’s work together.
