College Financial Aid Services
One of the unique areas we specialize in is helping families qualify for more College Financial Aid. With over $236 billion dollars in college financial aid available for undergraduate studies, it is critical for families to know what to do, when to do it, and how to do it. Aid should go to those families that need it, but in reality, it goes to those families that best understand the system. The financial aid process is complex and confusing, but we can help with variety of services. Please see our page of testimonials to see what families have to say.

Based on specific information obtained from you, we develop customized solutions that can increase financial aid eligibility, reduce college costs, and often times lower your income taxes. We thoroughly explain and go over the strategies and solutions in a 90-minute presentation meeting along with a hard copy manual for your future reference.
Financial Aid Consultation - If you need guidance or assistance with any aspect of financial aid process, whether it is applying or analyzing offers, we can help. We provide in-house consultation on a half hour increments.
FAFSA Consultation - The annual FAFSA (Free Application for Financial Aid) form is a nightmare for majority of the families due to the numerous confusing questions asking for income, assets, and tax information for both the parents and students. Completing this form incorrectly can cost you thousands in less aid. We can help. We provide in-house consultation on a half hour increments.
Award Appeal Consultation - If your financial aid award is not what you expected, then often times appealing it can be beneficial. We can evaluate and help you possibly change the outcome. We provide in-house consultation on a half hour increments.
EFC Reduction Consultation - EFC stands for Expected Family Contribution and is the key number that determines a family's financial aid eligibility. The higher the EFC the lower your financial aid package. We can help with customized solutions to help lower your EFC number.
Income Tax Estimation for FAFSA - In order to qualify for financial aid, the FAFSA form needs to be filled out as early as possible in the beginning of the year. Unfortunately, since the FAFSA form asks for income tax information, many families do not complete this form until March; after their taxes are completed. We can help by generating a reliable estimate to allow families to apply as early as possible. This increases your chance of financial aid eligibility!
Personal Client Services
FBAR Consultation - The FBAR (Foreign Bank and Financial Account) form is an important document that needs to be filed annually by U.S. persons that have a financial interest or signature authority in financial accounts outside of the U.S. This includes U.S. citizens; U.S. residents; entities, including but not limited to, corporations, partnerships, or limited liability companies, created or organized in the United States or under the laws of the United States; and trusts or estates formed under the laws of the United States. We can guide you and complete the form so you can be in compliance.
OVDP Consultation - The OVDP (Offshore Voluntary Disclosure Program) offers people with unreported taxable income from offshore financial accounts or other foreign assets another opportunity to resolve their tax and information reporting obligations, including the FBAR. Although the program does not have a closing date, the IRS may end the program at a later time. The penalties for violation are very steep including possible prison time. We help clients get approval under this voluntary program and prepare the necessary letters and tax returns to get them in compliance with the laws.
