What We Handle
Every service, for The Fan
The full firm is available to The Fan clients — the same people on your engagement from the first call to the last.
Tax season in The Fan does not wait for a quiet week. If you are staring at a Form 1040 with a W-2, a 1099, and a folder of receipts, the real question is usually simple: what will the CPA actually do, and what will cost extra. O’KEEFFECPA & Associates is a certified public accountant practice in Richmond, VA that treats tax preparation, IRS resolution, and small-business setup as one conversation, not three separate shops. Downtown Richmond is next door; Henrico County, Chesterfield County, and Hanover County are the usual next stops when work or family sits just outside the neighborhood.
The Fan sits inside Richmond, with Downtown Richmond close enough that a consult does not have to mean a long drive. The firm keeps offices at 1 N. 5th Street, Suite 502 in Downtown Richmond, 4110 E. Parham Road, Suite 204 in Henrico, and 2121 Eisenhower Avenue, Suite 200 in Alexandria, so you can pick the desk that matches the day. Book a free, no-obligation consultation, then use appointment booking, the client portal, and online payments instead of chasing paper. Forms and documents live in that portal so you are not rebuilding the same packet every April.
Residents here mix W-2 work with side income, rentals, and small firms that outgrow a shoebox of statements. Personalized tax help starts with what you actually filed last year, not a slogan. Gerard Madden put it plainly: “Chris has been doing my taxes since 2006. Always available with excellent advice and service.” If the next step is a return, an IRS notice, or an LLC vs S-corp decision, say that on the call. The Fan is the neighborhood; Richmond is the market; the work is the return, the notice, or the books in front of you.

How we work in The Fan
Individual & Business Tax Preparation
Individual & Business Tax Preparation for The Fan is Form 1040 work and Form 1120-S work in the same practice, not a handoff to another firm after the personal return. W-2 wages, 1099 income, and a small-business return can sit in one engagement so the numbers agree. A free consultation and the client portal are how you start: you upload documents, we map the return, and you see the filing plan before anyone talks extras.
IRS Tax Resolution & Dispute Representation
An IRS notice on a The Fan kitchen table is not a reason to call a resolution mill. IRS Tax Resolution & Dispute Representation here covers Offer in Compromise, Currently Not Collectible status, penalty abatement, and levy relief when those paths actually fit the file. The first consult is for reading the notice, naming what is negotiable, and what is not — then you decide whether to engage.
Small Business Formation & Entity Selection
Contractors and shop owners in The Fan often need entity selection before the next invoice, not after the first K-1 arrives messy. Small Business Formation & Entity Selection walks LLC vs S-corp against your facts: owners, how you pay yourself, and whether a pass-through return is the right next filing. Startup setup is the documents and the tax posture, not a branding exercise.
Bookkeeping Services
Bookkeeping Services for a The Fan operator means monthly bookkeeping and transaction recording so April is not a reconstruction project. Small business books are the running record; tax preparation is the annual filing that uses that record. If you already track spending yourself, say so — the lowest-cost suitable option is the one that matches the mess you actually have.
Payroll Services
Once The Fan business adds a person on payroll, withholding and quarterly filings stop being optional housekeeping. Payroll Services covers payroll compliance so wages, deposits, and reports stay in one rhythm instead of a scramble each quarter. This is separate from tax preparation; it is the employment-tax work that sits beside the return.
Tax Planning & Consulting
Tax Planning & Consulting is for The Fan clients who do not want estimated taxes to be a April surprise. Year-round planning looks at tax-efficient structure and estimated quarterly taxes while there is still time to change a withholding or a retirement contribution. It is advisory with named next steps, not a second label on the same Form 1040.
Federal Acquisition Services
Federal Acquisition Services is available when a The Fan client is actually in government contracting support, not as a badge on every page. Federal acquisition rules and the return have to talk to each other or the books drift. If that is not your work, we will say so on the consult and keep the engagement on tax, books, or entity work.
Amended Tax Returns
If a prior-year The Fan return missed a form or misstated income, Amended Tax Returns is Form 1040-X work — a prior-year correction, not a rewrite of this year’s filing. Bring the original return and the documents that changed. We will tell you whether an amended filing is the right move or whether the issue belongs in resolution instead.
Back Taxes & Unfiled Returns
Back Taxes & Unfiled Returns is for unfiled years sitting in a The Fan closet, not for a sales pitch about wiping out debt you still owe. Catch-up filings come first so the IRS file matches reality; then we talk collection options if tax remains. Honesty on what the IRS will and will not settle is the point of the no-obligation consultation.
Self-Employed & Schedule C Tax Filing
Self-Employed & Schedule C Tax Filing is built for The Fan residents whose income is 1099s, a trade, or a practice, not only a W-2. Schedule C, self-employment income, and estimated taxes belong in one picture so the payment coupons match the profit. If you also need books or an entity change, that is the same practice, scheduled as its own scope.
Tax Preparation & Filing
Tax Preparation & Filing is the core return work for The Fan when you need the forms prepared and transmitted, with a clear line between filing and add-on planning. You get a diagnostic of actual complexity first, then the lowest-cost appropriate path — basic filing when that is enough. Documents go through the client portal; the consult is how you see what is in scope before you commit.
The Fan questions, answered
Can I meet for a free consultation without driving out of The Fan?
Yes. Downtown Richmond is the closest office, at 1 N. 5th Street, Suite 502, and Henrico is the next option at 4110 E. Parham Road, Suite 204. Book a free, no-obligation consultation, then use the client portal for documents if you would rather not carry a binder across town.
Do you only file individual returns, or can a The Fan small-business owner stay with the same CPA?
The same practice handles individual returns, business tax preparation, Schedule C work, bookkeeping, and entity selection. Clients who started with household taxes and later incorporated have stayed in that model rather than splitting the file. If all you need this year is Form 1040, that is a valid engagement — we will not upsell a structure you do not need.
How do you charge, and how do I know a The Fan return is not padded with extras?
Fees follow return complexity and the hours in the file, not a slogan price. Market quotes for individual returns often sit in a wide band because W-2-only work and mixed 1099, rental, or K-1 work are not the same job. The consult names what is in the filing, what is advisory, and what would be a separate scope such as payroll, software setup, or entity formation.
I have an IRS letter. Should I use a tax-relief company or a Richmond CPA?
Start with the notice, not a mill. Offer in Compromise, Currently Not Collectible, penalty abatement, and levy relief are tools for specific facts; some balances are not negotiable, and we will say that. A no-obligation consultation is for mapping options on your file before you pay anyone to “settle” a debt the IRS will not reduce.
