No surprises, no jargon. Here's exactly what working with 4K Accounting looks like — from your first free call through completed returns and everything in between. Most new clients are fully onboarded within one business day of their introductory call.
Everything starts with a free, no-pressure 15-minute call. You tell Mindy your situation — individual taxes, a new business, bookkeeping that's gotten behind, a question about an IRS letter — whatever brought you here. There's no agenda, no sales pitch. This call exists so you can decide if 4K Accounting is the right fit before committing to anything.
If you'd rather send a message first, the contact form works too. Either way, Mindy responds within one business day.
After your introductory call, Mindy reviews your situation and prepares a written fee quote — a flat, clearly stated price for the work you discussed. No hourly billing estimates, no "it depends" non-answers. You'll know the exact cost before any work begins.
If anything in your situation is more complex than the initial call revealed, Mindy will flag it and update the quote before proceeding. You never get an invoice that surprises you.
Once you've approved the quote, Mindy sets up your private client portal in TaxDome — the secure platform 4K Accounting uses for all client document exchange and communication. You'll receive an invitation email and login link.
Inside your portal you'll find a personalized document checklist specific to your situation (not a generic list — just the items Mindy actually needs). Everything is uploaded and signed through the portal: no emailing tax documents, no physical drop-offs required.
With your documents uploaded, Mindy gets to work. For tax returns, she prepares your federal and state return, identifies every deduction and credit you qualify for, and checks for anything that could trigger a review or that would benefit from proactive planning before you file.
For bookkeeping clients, Mindy reconciles your accounts, categorizes transactions, and reviews the period for accuracy and tax implications before closing the books. You get clean records that are ready for reporting — not just data entry.
If a document is missing or a question comes up during preparation, Mindy sends a message through TaxDome. Most returns are completed within 5–10 business days of receiving a complete document set; bookkeeping is delivered on the schedule agreed at onboarding.
Completed tax returns are delivered to your TaxDome portal for review. Mindy includes a brief summary of what was prepared, any notable findings (deductions taken, planning opportunities identified, items to watch for next year), and the signature packet. You review at your own pace and e-sign directly through the portal — no printing, no mailing.
Once signed, Mindy files electronically with the IRS and Michigan Department of Treasury. Confirmation and copies go to your portal. Payment is processed through CPACharge after filing.
For ongoing clients — bookkeeping, payroll, or tax planning — you're accessible to Mindy year-round through TaxDome messaging. Questions don't wait for tax season.
Your work is handled by Mindy Kiliszewski, CPA — not a seasonal staffer, not a preparer you'll never meet again. The same person who knows your situation is the one who does the work.
Every engagement is quoted as a flat fee before work begins. No hourly billing, no invoice surprises. You know the cost when you approve the work, not after it's done.
Tax questions don't only come up in April. Clients reach Mindy through TaxDome messaging year-round — for a mid-year question, a new hire, an IRS notice, or a business decision with tax implications.
