About C. Ronald Fetzer and Associates, Inc.


WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT?

We hope that the following discussion of our firm's nature and character will assist the readers in their quest for professional guidance. The capstone to our pyramid logo is the client. You are our "employer". You come first in matters of business. This firm is a small firm with a niche practice. Our client base consists of people and businesses who want year round prompt answers to their questions, who want all the time and attention to detail that their accounting, paralegal and tax matters require and who want to access our "turnkey" approach to any project in which we are engaged. Your contacts with this firm are sacred to us. We do communicate and keep you informed as far as is humanly possible. We are punctilious, meticulous and vociferous where client communication is needed.

QUALITY CONTROL VS. TURNAROUND TIME:

This practice maintains high standards of work product. The normal turnaround time for client''s project is reasonable, given that each project is reviewed at least three times before being released to the client. Mr. Fetzer does not deviate from a life-long commitment to getting it right the first time. In order to insure accurate and legally correct product, he makes certain that his annual continuing education requirements are exceeded. His "teachers" are retired IRS agents and active tax attorneys.

"DUE DILIGENCE" REQUIREMENTS:

 

OVER THE PAST FEW YEARS THE IRS HAS INCREASED THE STANDARDS FOR WHAT IS REQUIRED BY THE TAX RETURN PREPARER FROM THE CLIENT BEFORE A WHOLE HOST OF DEDUCTIONS AND TAX POSITIONS CAN BE PLACED ON A TAX RETURN. EXCEPTIONS WILL NOT BE MADE FOR ANYONE. THIS BURDEN HAS INCREASED PREPARATION TIME FOR EVERY TAX RETURN AND ADDED TO THE COMPLEXITY OF THESE RETURNS MEASURABLY. DO NOT BLAME PREPARERS, IT HAS TO BE DONE. IF YOU ARE NOT BEING EXPOSED TO THIS BY YOUR CURRENT PREPARER, YOU OUGHT TO FIND A COMPETENT ONE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. THE IRS IS AGGRESSIVELY INSPECTING RETURN PREPARER RECORDS NEEDED TO KEEP YOUR TAX CREDITS AND DEDUCTIONS IN YOUR RETURN.

ETHICS:

Mr. Fetzer is dedicated to Judeo-Christian moral and ethical precepts that guide all of his personal and business relationships. In 1980, when Mr. Fetzer founded the forerunner company to this firm, he knew that the cornerstone of his practice had to be ethical behavior.

He quickly became known to his first clients for this meticulous approach. By 1984 he was teaching "Ethics in Business" (pro bono) to graduating seniors from the New York School of Fashion (Massey Institute of Design). He was addressing ethical issues on New York and New Jersey public radio and television. As a frequent guest of a variety of television hosts, he promoted his values as he shared financial and tax tips with the public at large.

OUR PROJECT CONCEPT:

"PROVIDE, INTEGRATE AND IMPLEMENT"

We offer an ala carte list of services approach to our clients. But, whenever desired by them, we offer one-stop shopping to the extent that we are legally allowed.

An example: Joe and Jane have their tax returns prepared here. One day, they need to make a decision about what form of business entity to set up. Part of their decision rest upon tax outcomes. Then, once they have the facts, they decide to create an LLC or a Corporation or a Partnership in Anywhere, U.S.A. They have been given advice for ALL of the tax and financial records, first moves, etcetera. They also are able to access tax and company record keeping guidance when needed as they grow their small business.
