One coordinated relationship

Choose one service—or connect several.

The right scope depends on your records, responsibilities, goals, and complexity. Harbor begins with a focused conversation and recommends the services that fit the situation.

Year-round support

Tax Strategy, Preparation & Advisory

Tax work should inform decisions throughout the year—not begin when forms arrive. Harbor connects planning, projections, preparation, and forward-looking guidance so opportunities, obligations, and important decisions can be considered before key deadlines.

Year-round support

IRS Notice & Resolution Support

An IRS notice can be easier to address when the issue, records, deadlines, and available response paths are organized early. Harbor helps clients understand correspondence and coordinate a clear next step.

Discuss this service

What this can include

Review and plain-language explanation of IRS notices
Account-information and supporting-record organization
Response-package preparation and deadline coordination
Tax-payment and resolution-option support
Coordination with an eligible representative when broader representation is required

Designed for

Individuals and businesses that have received an IRS notice or need structured support addressing a federal tax-account matter.

IRS representation rights depend on the practitioner's credentials and the matter involved. Harbor provides representation only when legally authorized and coordinates with an eligible attorney, CPA, or enrolled agent when required.

Year-round support

Fractional CFO & Forecasting

When decisions outgrow basic financial statements, Harbor adds forward-looking analysis and structure without requiring a full-time finance executive.

What this can include

Cash-flow forecasting and scenario modeling
Budgets, forecasts, and performance reviews
Key-performance indicators and management reporting
Financial-process and system improvements
Decision support for growth, hiring, investment, and financing

Designed for

Established and growing organizations that need stronger financial visibility, forecasting, and a consistent thought partner.

Year-round support

Business Formation & Entity Support

A new or reorganized business needs more than a filing. Harbor helps coordinate the tax, registration, accounting, payroll, and reporting steps that create a practical operating foundation.

Discuss this service

What this can include

Tax-focused entity-selection conversations
Federal and state tax-account registration coordination
Tax-election timing and preparation when appropriate
Opening balances, bookkeeping, payroll, and reporting setup
Coordination with legal counsel when legal advice or documents are needed

Designed for

New businesses, ownership changes, and reorganizing companies that want tax and accounting systems considered from the beginning.

Harbor's formation support focuses on tax, accounting, registration, and implementation matters. Harbor does not provide legal advice; an attorney may be needed for legal documents or legal questions.
