Who We Serve
Built for people whose finances deserve structure.

Individuals & Households
Reliable, accurate tax preparation with a clean intake process, help understanding what is needed, and confidence that your filing was handled properly.
Freelancers & Gig Workers
Your income may not fit a traditional paycheck. Your tax process still deserves structure, organized records, and plain-language guidance.
Creators & Independent Professionals
Preparation that understands nontraditional income, business-related documents, and the recordkeeping habits that make next year easier.
Sole Proprietors & Owner-Operators
A growing business needs more than revenue. We help separate and organize business records so your filing rests on a stronger foundation.

How It Works
A clear process from intake to filing.
You will always know where your return stands and what happens next.
Start secure intake.
Begin through BASI Financial's dedicated CrossLink intake — the secure system used for your tax information and documents.
We review your tax situation.
We confirm scope, complexity, and fit, then share what to expect, including the documents needed and the expected fee.
Submit required documents through the secure CrossLink workflow.
One clear checklist. Documents go only through the secure intake — never through email or this website.
BASI prepares and reviews your return.
Your return is prepared carefully, checked against your documents, and reviewed before anything is sent to you.
Review, authorize, pay, and file.
We walk you through the major items in plain language. Once you approve, authorize, and complete payment, your return is e-filed and we confirm when it is accepted.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Are you accepting new clients?
BASI Financial is preparing for the upcoming filing season and will open secure tax intake soon. When intake is live, the "Start Your Tax Intake" button on this page will take you directly to it. Submitting intake begins a review; it is not a guarantee that every return can be accepted.
How do I send documents?
Only through BASI Financial's dedicated CrossLink intake workflow, which you will receive access to once your engagement begins. Please do not send tax documents, Social Security numbers, or bank information through this website or by ordinary email.
How much does tax preparation cost?
Fees are based on the scope and complexity of your return — never on the size of a refund. After we review your situation, we confirm the expected fee or fee range with you before any preparation begins. Final payment is due before your return is e-filed.
Do you prepare self-employed returns?
Yes. We prepare returns for freelancers, creators, contractors, gig workers, and sole proprietors with organized business records. If your records need substantial reconstruction, we will let you know and discuss a separate cleanup scope first.
When is payment due?
Final payment is completed before your return is transmitted. A modest engagement deposit may be requested for self-employed, prior-year, amended, or other higher-effort work, and is credited toward your final invoice.
Can you guarantee a refund?
No. Tax results depend on the facts and the law that apply to your return. We prepare your return carefully, identify the information relevant to your filing, and explain the result clearly — but no preparer can promise a particular refund or outcome.
How long does preparation take?
Once your file is complete, straightforward returns typically take a few business days to prepare and review; more complex returns can take longer. We will give you a realistic timeline and keep you updated. Timing of IRS and state processing after filing is outside our control.
What if my return is outside BASI Financial's scope?
We will tell you clearly and early. Some situations — such as certain business entity returns, complex international reporting, or matters requiring representation we are not authorized to provide — fall outside our current scope. Where possible, we will point you toward an appropriate qualified professional.
