Virtual · all 50 states

Your CPA, wherever you are

Shahbaz & Associates works with businesses, real estate investors, and individuals in every state. Tax preparation, year-round tax planning, bookkeeping, and CFO services, handled by video, a secure portal, and e-signatures, with the same CPA team all year.

How working with us virtually works

Four steps, all online, from first call to filed return.

  1. Book a free consultation

    Tell us about your business or tax situation. We'll talk it through by phone or video and send a clear, fixed-fee proposal.

  2. Share documents securely

    Upload statements, prior returns, and records to your own encrypted client portal. No email attachments, no mailing paper.

  3. Meet by video

    Your CPA reviews your numbers with you on screen: planning ideas, questions, and decisions, on your schedule.

  4. Sign and file electronically

    Engagement letters and returns are signed online, and we e-file federal and state returns for every state you owe in.

Questions about working remotely

Can you be my CPA if I'm not in Virginia?

Yes. Most of our clients work with us virtually. CPAs can prepare federal returns for clients anywhere in the U.S. and state returns for every state, so where you live doesn't limit what we can do for you.

Do you file returns for every state?

Yes. We prepare and e-file returns for all states with an income tax, including multi-state returns for business owners, remote workers, and real estate investors with property in several states.

How do I send you my documents?

Through a secure, encrypted client portal. You upload files from your computer or phone, and we request anything missing in the same place. You can also sign engagement letters and returns there.

Will I have a dedicated CPA, even virtually?

Yes. You work with the same team year-round, by video, phone, and the portal, for tax season and for planning conversations during the year.

What does virtual service cost?

The same as working with us in person. Fees depend on the services and complexity, and you get a fixed-fee proposal after a free consultation. You can also get an instant estimate on our pricing page.

Can I still visit an office?

Of course. We have offices in Fairfax and Richmond, Virginia, and you're welcome to meet in person whenever it suits you.
