The Team at Hockaday has a refined tax return preparation process, including an online document sharing function and communication both through their system and the Team. They accurately understood the details of my return, which included 2 nonprofits and a company that I own, and provided helpful advice related to expenses, franchise taxes and relevant changes to tax law under the Big, Beautiful Bill. Laura Marquez was on top of everything as my assigned accountant. Highly recommend the Joseph C Hockaday company.

I’ve had a great experience working with Joe Hockaday CPA. From the start, it was clear that Joe and his team have a deep understanding of current IRS rules and regulations, both for corporate and personal taxes. What really stood out to me was how organized and timely they are. Every step of the process was handled professionally, and I was kept informed the entire way, no guessing, no chasing for updates, just clear and consistent communication. If you’re looking for a CPA firm that knows what they’re doing and actually makes the process smooth and stress-free, this is the one I would recommend.
