Many people know they're better off hiring a tax professional to prepare their taxes. But not all tax preparers offer the same quality of service. It takes a dedicated tax preparer to safely get you the biggest returns possible, and to offer reliable year-round service.

Fortunately we found tax preparer Debbie Coe with offices in San Rafael and Sebastopol CA, who clients say is dedicated to her profession, and who also offers accounting services that meet her clients' specific needs. She serves clients in Marin, Sonoma, Napa, Alameda, and Contra Costa counties and San Francisco, offering tax preparation and bookkeeping services.

Debbie Coe, in Marin County: Dedicated to Accuracy

It seems that everyone is in a rush during tax time, and tax preparers are no exception. So it's common for some to just make guesses and fill in the blanks when they're in a hurry, without consulting their clients to get the real numbers. But when they hurry through your return so they can get on to the next client, you miss out on valuable deductions and they make mistakes that can get you audited.

That's why you need someone proven dedicated to taking the time to find all the deductions that safely get you the biggest return without the danger of an audit. And clients of tax preparer Debbie Coe say exactly that about her.

"I take the extra time with my clients and I never rush them out the door," Debbie shares. "I want to be sure everything is correct and that my clients get the biggest returns back."

And unlike less dedicated preparers who refuse to guarantee their work because they know they've rushed through the process, Debbie Coe proves she's working for her clients' good. "I give everyone a standard guarantee that if I make a mistake, I'll fix it for free and I'll take care of any sort of penalties or interest that is a result of the error," she promises.

Year Around Availability with Debbie Coe in Marin County

It's a mistake to hire a part-time tax preparer or chain service that closes up shop after April 15, because when they disappear, you suffer the frustration and inconvenience of finding a new preparer and you also miss out on having someone who is there to help you 12 months a year, not just during tax time.

Debbie Coe has been serving individuals and businesses in Marin County, Sonoma County, and across the Bay Area since 1985, so they can trust that she'll be there for them year after year, including when they have questions or needs all throughout the year.

"It's easy to feel overwhelmed if you put off your taxes," Debbie says. "But my clients really feel better about the whole process because they've hired me year after year, and I give them simple ways they can stay organized during the year that makes tax time easier when it comes."

Debbie Coe has offices in San Rafael CA (Marin County) and Sebastopol CA (Sonoma County) and has lived here in the Bay Area since she was four years old. She's dedicated to her tax preparation and bookkeeping clients, and when she can find the time she enjoys getting together with friends, hiking, kayaking and photography.

Friends and family describe Debbie as loving, caring, funny and honest; and her clients cite her personable attitude, saying she's bubbly and relatable, and makes the sometimes-daunting task of filing taxes fun.

Bookkeeping Services from Debbie Coe Tax Preparation

Debbie Coe is also an accountant who offers comprehensive bookkeeping services to individual and business clients in Sonoma County, Marin County, and beyond. This makes tax season easier for her clients, because as their accountant and tax preparer, she's able to anticipate savings and deductions throughout the year.

"I used to only do taxes, but one client asked me to do her books," Debbie shares. "She didn't really have a system in place, so her finances were chaotic. But I helped her get organized, and it really built up her business. That's when I realized how many people just needed a little help with their bookkeeping, so I started offering that service."

One client named Marie who we spoke to for this article said, "Debbie Coe is really the best! I've been working with Debbie for about 10 years, and I don't know how I'd live without her! I'm self-employed and she handles all my finances. I like that she's on top of what's going on with my finances all the time and that she is good at advocating for me if there's ever an error or problem with the bank or other companies."

Debbie Coe: Dedicated to Individualized Services for All Clients

Oftentimes professionals in creative, artistic, and healing fields feel overwhelmed when it comes to keeping books and preparing taxes. But tax preparer and accountant Debbie Coe solves their problem. "I've found that many clients feel panicked by the deadlines and are afraid of making a mistake in their books or on their taxes," she acknowledges. "But I've had a lot of clients like them before, so I know how they're feeling and I can help them." In fact, only two of Debbie's clients have ever been audited in all her years as a tax preparer, and both of those audits turned out in the clients' favor.

A client named John backed this up during a research phone call when he told our researcher, "I've used her service for the last 16 years in conjunction with the small business I have. She has integrity, and personal interest in a high level of service. At one point I had to go through an audit. Her assistance made all the difference in the world, and I had a most successful outcome. I'm most impressed."

So it's obvious that hiring a dedicated professional makes all the difference in getting you thoroughly-prepared returns, year-round service including bookkeeping and small business accounting, and individualized services to support clients without financial backgrounds. And as clients throughout Sonoma and Marin County have attested, Debbie Coe is that dedicated professional.

Perhaps a Debbie Coe Tax Preparation client named Marke said it best when he told us, "I've certainly been pleased with Debbie Coe. I've used her services for about a decade. Like I've told her, what I buy from her is more than just tax service. I buy from her peace of mind and the confidence that my taxes are done right."
