Evaluation Guides / How AE Tax Advisors Works

This section describes, in general terms, how AE Tax Advisors approaches its planning and advisory work. It is intended to help you know what to expect, and to give you a basis for comparing the approach with other firms. It is not a promise about any particular engagement, and the specifics for your situation are discussed with you directly.

You will find guides on the overall approach, the discovery call, document review and analysis, planning recommendations and implementation, ongoing support and year-round planning, who the firm serves, what the firm does not promise, and how the firm thinks about risk and compliance.

How to Use This Section

If you are considering a discovery call, read the guide on the discovery call first, so that you know what to bring. If you want to understand the firm's philosophy, read the overall approach and the guide on what it does not promise. If you are comparing firms, use the questions in the other sections to test what you read here.

These pages describe general approach and not outcomes. Tax results depend on individual facts and on the law in effect, and no result is guaranteed.
