FOUNDER & OWNER:  MATTHEW A. KELLER, CPA

Member of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants

 

Services Available:

  • I travel to you because I know traveling can be a real challenge for many Seniors. (My Mom is 94). So I MAKE IT MY BUSINESS to meet you at your home if that is more convenient for you.  You read it right!  A CPA that actually makes housecalls to assist Seniors! I will meet with clients in their homes and can also help over the phone and via the U.S. Mail service. I live in nearby Wyckoff, NJ (for the past 33 years) so I am available year round, not just during tax season should you have any questions.

  • Income Tax Preparation - Most Senior Citizens should not have to pay $500 - $800 (or more) to have their tax returns prepared and filed.  Most Seniors have common income types such as:

         Social Security (SSA-1099)
         Pensions (1099-R)
         IRA Distributions (1099-R)
         Interest (1099-INT)
         Dividends (1099-DIV)
         Stock / Brokerage Account Activity (1099-B).

    In most cases, these are not overly complex returns and should not demand premium fees. My goal is to prepare and file your tax return at a fair price.  I complete and file each tax return myself. I also travel to meet with you at your home to make the whole process easier. I complete the return, but do NOT file it until I have reviewed it with you. Once you are satisfied and have signed an IRS-required consent form, I securely file your return from my office. 

  • Financial & Personal Affairs - assist with organizing, reconciling, and tracking.

  • U.S. Mail / Paperwork (e.g. Incoming mail review/prioritization/resolution including monthly bill payment)

  • Seniors suffering loss of spouse or loved one. Help with determining next steps. (SS, Probate, Life Ins, etc)

  • Do you have a need that is not covered above? Just call me. I may be able to help. BUT... if I can't, I'll help direct you to a resource that can.
