Would you like to get more from your Austin CPA relationship? Any accountant can "crunch numbers" for you or prepare your tax returns. Wouldn't you prefer something more valuable? At Marci Shafto CPA, the relationships we develop with our clients set us apart. We get to know you beyond the numbers so we can understand your specific needs and financial goals.

This type of personal interaction enhances our ability to guide our clients in achieving their goals. But one of my recent investments was an oil and gas MLP (master limited partnership) and my standard tax software was not up to the task. I was using Excel to try to keep track of things, but could not figure out how to enter all the data from the K1s into my tax software.
Services
Marci Shafto has delighted clients and built an excellent reputation during her 20 year career in Austin, Texas.

After 12 years of developing her tax expertise, Marci launched her own practice in 2014.
Small business taxes can be daunting. We offer a full complement of tax planning and preparation services for small businesses in the Austin area, including S Corporations, closely held companies, and limited liability companies. Whether your business is in start-up mode, maintaining a steady course, or looking to expand, we can help you plan ahead to minimize your tax liability and manage your tax risk.
Maybe you don't own a business, and you just need help with your family or personal tax preparation. We have many clients just like you. You want someone who can stay on top of the increasingly complex tax laws and take advantage of all the credits and deductions that you work hard to deserve. Your tax needs are as individual as you are, so our approach to your tax planning and return preparation is tailored to your specific needs and goals.
We offer both personal and business Bookkeeping Services in Austin, Texas. We recognize that you would likely prefer spending more time with your family or focusing on your business than getting bogged down with the details of your books. However, accurate financial records are essential in maintaining your financial health.
Dealing with the IRS can be very stressful but we have been doing it for over 10 years! If you receive an IRS notice or need assistance with tax resolution, having an experienced accountant in your corner can help ease anxiety you may have during a potentially challenging, and perhaps even emotional, process.

Report
Marci Shafto was recommended by several others on a real estate investment board. I am now doubting she even exists... Do not count on getting in touch with her if you are looking for a new accountant. The phone number goes to a generic voicemail and there is no response to email. Left two voice messages and sent email with no response through either channel. Maybe "Marci Shafto" is an advertising front for HR Block. Oh wait, HR Block would at least call or email back.

I've trusted Marci with my taxes for several years and she is the epitome of professional. She keeps up with changing tax laws and applies them to my tax returns. I have confidence that she is preparing my returns accurately, all the while making it a seamless process. I highly recommend her. She truly cares about her clients and is amazing at her job.
