When a tax return stops being simple.
Somewhere along the way, your taxes got complicated. A brokerage account started sending 1099s. A K-1 showed up from a family partnership. There’s a rental house now, or a required distribution from an IRA. The software that worked fine in 1998 started asking questions you couldn’t answer with confidence.
So you went with a firm. And for a while, that worked too. Then the partner you signed with retired, and a different junior staffer prepared your return each spring. You called with a question and waited days for someone to call back. One year you caught a number that was wrong. The firm never did.
Here’s the part nobody says out loud: most people live with that for two or three years before they do anything about it, not because it’s fine, but because switching feels like a project, and tax season always seems too close.
Meanwhile, every return filed is another year of hoping somebody checked the work.
Our approach
We put our name on your return and stand behind every number.
At Voss & Associates, the rule hasn’t changed since 2001: the credentialed CPA who signs your return is the one who prepared it, reviewed it, and answers your questions about it. Not a seasonal hire. Not a rotating staffer. The same firm, year after year, with a credentialed CPA who remembers that the rental sold in March and your required minimum distribution (RMD) changed in June.

Every engagement begins with a consultation where we agree on the work. No guessing what you signed up for. No work you didn’t ask for.
If your situation involves something outside our depth, we’ll say so up front, before you commit. We built the practice on telling people the truth about fit.
Tax decisions don’t wait for spring. When you’re weighing a sale, a withdrawal, or a gift, you can reach a credentialed CPA who already knows your situation and get an answer that accounts for your whole picture.
The Clean Books Standard
Most firms go silent May through January, then scramble February through April. We run the opposite way — a clean file isn’t an accident, it’s a standard we hold every month.
We move your file and clean it up.
Sign one authorization and we pull your prior returns, schedules, and books from your old firm. The switch happens in the background.
- Prior-year return reviewed for missed deductions
- Every account reconciled, books brought current
- Live within 30–60 days of signing
We project your tax bill before April.
When your year calls for it, we run a full projection before year-end, so you know what you’ll owe with months to plan, not days, and weigh the tax impact of big decisions first.
- Available for Projection Meetings
- Quarterly federal & Mississippi estimates
- No scrambling for cash nobody warned you about
One firm, every filing, year-round.
Business return, personal return, payroll, sales tax, the Mississippi Department of Revenue (MS DOR), the IRS — all under one roof, all signed by a credentialed CPA. A letter shows up, we handle it.
- A credentialed CPA on the line, not a call center
- Monthly financials hit your inbox
- IRS & MS DOR letters handled by the firm
What that means for you.
The quieter wins that come from one credentialed CPA owning your return start to finish.
Because a credentialed CPA prepares and signs your return, there’s no gap where mistakes hide. The CPA responsible for your file is the one who catches errors before filing, not your spouse in May.
Because we agree on the scope before any work begins, the invoice is never a mystery.
Because K-1s, rental schedules, brokerage activity, and retirement distributions are our daily work, the parts of your return that made software nerve-racking become routine.
Because the firm works year-round, you can ask the tax question before you sell the property or take the withdrawal, while the answer can still save you money.
Because Voss has filed from the same Hattiesburg office since 2001, the firm that knows your return today can know your family’s returns tomorrow.
Because a credentialed CPA does the work start to finish, your return never gets passed to a seasonal preparer who’s gone by May.

Before you call
The questions people ask first.
A few questions tend to come up before anyone actually picks up the phone, so let’s just get them out of the way. The big one is usually cost. The truth is it depends on what your tax return involves, and we’re not going to pretend otherwise. But here’s what we can tell you: we’ll sit down at your consultation, look at what your situation actually requires, and talk it through straight. No padded scope, no work you didn’t ask for, and no guessing about what we’re doing for you. A lot of firms can’t say that.
Then there’s the switch itself, which most people assume is going to be a headache. It really isn’t. You sign the authorization, and that takes care of it. You don’t have to call your old CPA, you don’t have to explain yourself, and you don’t have to have an awkward conversation with anybody. A lot of folks stay somewhere they’re unhappy for years just to dodge this one step. It takes about ten minutes.
And then there’s the quieter one people don’t always say out loud: is my return even big enough for a CPA firm? If it’s more than a W-2 and a standard deduction, it’s worth a quick Fit Conversation. And if it turns out it really is simple enough to handle yourself, we’ll tell you that too.
Zero pressure. Ever.
Your consultation is a real conversation with a CPA, not a sales pitch. If Voss isn’t the right fit for your business, we’ll tell you on the call and point you toward a firm that is. No contracts to trap you, no surprise invoices, and every return signed by a credentialed CPA who stands behind the work.
Month to month, stay because it works.

Everything you’d want to know before handing your return to a new firm.
A credentialed CPA, and the same one each year. The partner who signs your return is the one who did the work and the one who takes your calls about it.
Yes. Returns with partnership K-1s, rental schedules, brokerage activity, IRA distributions, and trust income are the daily work of this firm, not the exception.
A no-cost first call where you tell us about your situation, ideally with last year's return in hand. We tell you what we see and honestly whether we're the right firm for you. No obligation either way.
You sign an authorization and we request your prior returns and records directly from your current firm. Most clients never have to contact their old accountant at all.
You forward it to us and we respond. We stand behind our work and will represent it to the IRS or the Mississippi Department of Revenue, with the scope and fee for that work set in writing before it starts, the same as everything else we do.
Hand your return to a CPA who'll still know it next year.
