Initial consultations are always free. Pricing varies depending on the scope of work involved. I will work with you to determine the components of your tax return and provide you with a list of recommended tax preparation and planning services, along with an estimate of the cost. For most tax returns, I charge a fixed fee or a narrow fee range rather than an hourly rate. However, some projects make more sense to bill at an hourly rate. If that is the case, you will be notified prior to the start of the project.
Yes. I accept new clients year-round. I welcome projects and tax inquiries from U.S. based clients and can work with you in person or remotely. Schedule a consultation to see how I can best serve you.

I have been a practicing public accountant for over 30 years. I co-managed a Washington, D.C.-based firm for 12 years, and I have operated my current firm, John Wall, CPA, in Manassas, Virginia, for over 15 years.
I help individuals and businesses with their federal and state tax planning, taking into account their various assets and liabilities. If you or your business needs other services, such as bookkeeping, financial advising, or legal support, I am happy to provide referrals.
My firm is located in Manassas, Virginia. However, I serve clients nationwide, providing remote tax services across the United States and internationally.
