Business Tax Services, Backed by an IRS Enrolled Agent
Ample(x) Consultants now offers business tax preparation, tax planning, and IRS representation — delivered in partnership with Hogberg Tax, led by Enrolled Agent Mike Hogberg — so you get year-round tax support, not just a once-a-year filing.

If you need bookkeeping, you already have us. If you need a tax expert who thinks the way we do — strategic, proactive, and focused on results — this partnership is for you.
Strategy first
Every tax decision starts with your goals, not just this year's return — planning that carries across compliance, confidence, and long-term risk avoidance.
One team, fewer handoffs
Your books and your tax strategy stay in sync all year, so nothing gets lost between your bookkeeper and your preparer.
IRS-credentialed if things get complicated
Mike is an IRS Enrolled Agent, credentialed to represent you directly before the IRS if an audit or dispute ever comes up.
Tax preparation works best when it is connected to what is happening in your business all year, not treated as a once-a-year event. When your accounting, payroll, and taxes work together, you can make decisions before year-end — instead of discovering problems after the year has already closed.
Tax Planning Shouldn't Start in March.
The best tax decisions are often made before the tax year ends. Our year-round approach helps business owners understand potential tax obligations and identify planning opportunities while there is still time to act.
- Quarterly estimated tax planning
- Year-end tax projections
- Business deductions and available credits
- Timing of income and expenses
- Owner compensation and distributions
- Payroll and withholding review
- Entity structure considerations
- Multi-state tax considerations when applicable
Own an S Corporation? Your Salary Matters.
S Corporation owners who work in their businesses generally need to pay themselves reasonable compensation. Determining the appropriate balance between salary and distributions can affect payroll taxes, income taxes, and IRS compliance. Our team can help evaluate compensation using the business's financial information and coordinate tax strategy with payroll.
- Reasonable compensation analysis
- Salary and distribution considerations
- Payroll and withholding review
- Documentation and support
- Year-end compensation planning
Your Accounting, Payroll & Taxes Should Work Together.
Your tax return shouldn't be the first time someone takes a close look at your financials. Ample(x) Consultants brings accounting, bookkeeping, payroll, financial reporting, tax planning, and tax preparation together so your financial information can support better decisions throughout the year.
Accounting
Clean, accurate books and financial reporting provide the foundation for better tax planning. See our accounting and bookkeeping services.
Payroll
Payroll, owner compensation, and withholding can be reviewed with the tax impact in mind. Learn more about our payroll services.
Taxes
Year-round planning leads into tax preparation with fewer surprises and better information, coordinated with our fractional CFO and advisory services.
One financial picture. One coordinated strategy. Year-round support.
Received a Letter From the IRS?
An IRS or state tax notice doesn't always mean something is wrong, but it should not be ignored. Our tax team can review the notice, determine what information is being requested, help prepare a response, and provide representation before taxing authorities when appropriate.
- IRS notices
- State tax notices
- Audit support
- Documentation requests
- Tax authority correspondence
- Representation when applicable

Business Tax Questions
Do you prepare S Corporation tax returns?
Yes. We support S Corporation tax preparation as well as year-round planning involving shareholder compensation, payroll, distributions, and estimated taxes.
Do you work with businesses that aren't bookkeeping clients?
Yes. Businesses can engage us for tax services even if Ample(x) Consultants does not currently handle their bookkeeping. We may request financial records or recommend cleanup work if the books need corrections before the return can be prepared.
Can you help determine reasonable compensation for an S Corporation owner?
Yes. Our tax team can help evaluate reasonable compensation considerations using the owner's role, business financial information, payroll, and other relevant factors.
Do you offer year-round tax planning?
Yes. We encourage business owners to plan throughout the year rather than waiting until tax filing season.
Can you help with an IRS notice?
Yes. Our tax team can review IRS notices, help determine the appropriate response, and provide representation when appropriate.
Can you help with payroll and taxes together?
Yes. Ample(x) Consultants provides payroll services, allowing payroll, owner compensation, withholding, accounting, and tax planning to be coordinated.
Do you work with businesses outside Arizona and Iowa?
Ample(x) Consultants works with businesses remotely. Tax services and filing requirements should be evaluated based on the states in which the business operates or has filing obligations.
When should I start tax planning?
Ideally, before year-end. Many planning opportunities require action during the tax year, which is why we encourage ongoing tax conversations rather than waiting until filing season.
