Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Who does AP Accounting & Tax typically work with?

+

We specialize in high-income individuals, self-employed professionals, and small business owners — particularly those with complex situations like multi-state income, equity compensation, S-Corp structures, or significant investment portfolios.

What is the difference between tax planning and tax preparation?

+

Tax preparation is the filing of your annual return. Tax planning is the year-round strategy that shapes how much you owe before you file — proactively reducing your liability rather than simply reporting it after the fact.

Do you offer virtual appointments?

+

Yes. Both virtual and in-person appointments are available. Virtual meetings deliver the same quality of personal attention and strategic depth as in-person sessions at our Greenwich office.

What states do you serve?

+

We serve clients in Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, California, and beyond. We have particular expertise in multi-state situations, especially for CT residents earning income in New York.

Is an S-Corp the right structure for my Connecticut business?

+

It depends on your profit level, structure, and long-term goals. For many CT entrepreneurs earning consistent profits, an S-Corp can unlock meaningful tax savings — but only when built and maintained correctly. We evaluate your specific situation before recommending any path.

How is AP Accounting & Tax different from larger CPA firms?

+

We're a boutique firm built on proactive, year-round strategy rather than reactive tax preparation. Every client works directly with Alexis — not handed to junior staff — and benefits from over 15 years of experience including her background at Ernst & Young.

What if I have urgent questions between tax seasons?

+

Responsive support is fundamental to how we work. You can reach the team by phone, email, or scheduled appointment — no waiting until next April for answers to questions that matter now.

How do I get started?
