Meeting in St. Louis

In person or by video.

St. Louis is within the range for in-person meetings from Edwardsville, and video is always an option.

Hours are weekdays, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Missouri and Illinois

Two states, one plan.

Illinois and Missouri don't have a reciprocal tax agreement. If you live in Illinois and earn income in Missouri, or the other way around, you'll typically file in both states and claim a credit so the same income isn't fully taxed twice.

Businesses that operate on both sides of the river often have filing responsibilities in both states too. It's manageable, but it's the kind of detail that gets missed when nobody is looking ahead. Planning for both states at once is simpler than untangling them after the fact.

Getting started

Tell Christian what you need

A short inquiry in three steps gives him a useful starting point. No documents needed.

Pick a time on his calendar

Right after the form, choose a time for a 15-minute introductory call. You both get a Microsoft Teams link by email.

Agree on the work

When working together makes sense, a consultation defines the scope and a quote. If the full picture changes the work, you'll talk it through first. No surprises.

Questions

St. Louis questions.

You're based in Illinois. Can you work with my Missouri business?

Yes. Christian is licensed as a CPA in Missouri. Meetings happen by video or in person, whichever works better for you.

Does a second state cost more?

Pricing is based on complexity, states and forms, so a second state is part of the quote.

How much does it cost?

There's no price list, because pricing depends on complexity, the number of states and the forms involved. After a consultation you get a quote based on what you've shared. Sometimes the full picture only comes into view once the work begins. If that changes the scope, Christian walks you through it before anything changes. No surprises.

The best time to plan is before December 31.

Much of what shapes a tax bill is decided during the year. A short conversation now leaves time to act on it.
