Santa Cruz Pacific

Hi friends - we sincerely hope you are safe and well out there and have a quick update to the happenings over at Santa Cruz Pacific for you. We are still hard at work on your taxes and accounting needs but have made a few changes to ensure we are staying safe and healthy. Some of us are still going to the office for short periods of time but most work is being done remotely. It is best to reach Conrad or Melissa by email. We are giving all paperwork time to "cool off" be...fore being handled - from the moment it is dropped off to the time we prepare it, to help ensure safety. Please feel free to reach out with any questions or concerns and remember - we're all in this together!

It's that time again! 2019 client tax organizers and engagement letters have gone out. Organizers should have arrived by USPS and the engagement letters via email. Please let us know if you did not receive your bundles of joy and we'll hook you up.

Happy New Year friends! As we head in to 2020, staying on top of tax law and how it affects us and our clients is definitely a resolution we plan on keeping.
