    Why clients switch from 1-800Accountant

    Three reasons the
    move pays for itself.

    01

    Same dedicated tax preparer, every time

    No more re-explaining your business to a new rep every quarter. Returns are prepared and signed in house by an IRS registered tax preparer who learns your operations and stays with you.

    02

    Strategic advisory

    Quarterly tax planning is included, not an upcharge. We proactively find savings, not just file what you give us.

    03

    Seasoned credentialed network

    WAYG's contracted CPAs and IRS Enrolled Agents bring years of experience. We don't farm work to junior staff. You get senior expertise on every engagement.
