Ring Tax prepares, reviews and represents on returns for CPA firms, EA firms, bookkeeping firms and financial planners. We're a US-based Enrolled Agent firm. Your clients stay yours, the work happens in your systems, and you review and sign before anything is filed.
We start with a call about volumes, return types, software, deadlines and rates.
We sign an agreement covering scope, turnaround, confidentiality, data security and a mutual non-solicit of your clients.
You give us access, and we work inside your tax software and document system, under your procedures.
Every return comes back with written review notes on open items and judgment calls.
Your reviewer signs as the preparer of record. We sign only when that's the arrangement.
Your client data stays in the United States. Sending tax return information to a preparer outside the US requires each client's written consent; the exception in Treas. Reg. §301.7216-2(d) covers preparers inside the United States. Working with us doesn't need that consent.
Enrolled Agents have unlimited practice rights before the IRS, so the person who prepared a return can also answer the notice that follows it.
Cody Ring, EA, MBA, has prepared multi-state returns and worked IRS controversy cases at a national accounting firm, and has led a prep team of 11, including offshore staff. He knows where outsourced prep usually breaks down, and he builds the review around it.
