Forensic Accounting
Forensic accounting is necessary any time there is missing money. This may be due to divorce litigation, skimming, check kiting, internal controls, theft, or inventory shrinkage. A trained expert can track down the missing money and help to recover it. Forensic accounting is a specialized form of accounting that is designed to find and track down financial crimes. It is often used in cases of fraud or embezzlement. Forensic accountants use their skills to investigate financial crimes and to gather evidence that can be used in court. They may also be called upon to testify in court as expert witnesses. In recent years, forensic accounting has become an essential tool in the fight against white collar crime.
Tax Planning
Tax planning should be the keystone of financial decision making due to its significant impact on one's overall financial health and well-being. By integrating tax considerations into your financial plan, you gain a broader view of our financial landscape and can make informed decisions that align with your tax objectives.Tax planning allows us to minimize your tax liability, maximize our overall financial well-being, and create more disposable income that can be invested or used to fulfill other financial goals.
Choose the right tax planner to help you navigate the complexities of tax laws and regulations so that you can make informed financial decisions.
I am currently working with Doug through some stuff. Doug can do get you where you need to be. He is a very chill guy and really easy to talk with. Especially coming from someone who knows nothing about taxes. His prices are very reasonable. Especially for what he got me. Always answered my questions and got back to me faster then I expected.
Working with Doug was way faster and easier than trying to use tax software. He made the whole process painless, and he was so fast. Not only did he do my taxes, he found a mistake I had made last year meaning I'll get money back.
This is my 4th tax filing with Doug Zandstra and every year has been flawless! Speedy, accurate, and makes the whole process very easy to navigate. Doug and the team are wonderful, grateful for them every year!
I recently moved from the east coast to Michigan and finding the right CPA to complete my taxes was a top priority. Doug is personable, fantastic to work with, extremely efficient, and goes above and beyond for his clients. I highly recommend him!
Doug prepared a few returns for me. He was fast, efficient, and explained it with ease. I know I've chosen the best CPA in Grand Rapids, especially with business taxes.
I called up Doug for Tax Preparation services late January. He was quick, efficient, and friendly. He completed my returns extremely quickly, and I will plan to use his services in the future!
Working with Doug was way faster and easier than trying to use tax software. He made the whole process painless, and he was so fast. Not only did he do my taxes, he found a mistake I had made last year meaning I'll get money back.
Usually I do my own taxes but I ran into some confusion in 2018, so I had to file both years at once this year. I was worried I would make a mistake or get myself in more trouble so I asked Doug for help. He quickly handled everything and I barely lifted a finger. Thankfully; Doug has a secure file server and texting capabilities for his clients. I was also able to text Doug any time and I was happy to know my data was secure. I am an IT technician and I greatly appreciated this, I have a busy schedule and this greatly helped accommodate my needs. I did find his pricing to be a little high, but given the simplicity of it all, and my own peace of mind, I would probably do it again. Thanks Doug!
Doug was great! He made tax season very easy for me and my wife! He does things right, and he's quick to help if you have questions.
Doug Zandstra was quick to respond to my tax need. He is easy to speak with and a professional who works diligently to solve any tax issues.
