About

I’m Alvarez Faison, and founder of GFM, LLC — Accounting, Bookkeeping & Tax Services (est. 2012).

I specialize in accounting, bookkeeping, and tax preparation for individuals, rental property owners, and small to mid-sized businesses. Whether you need straightforward individual tax filing or structured bookkeeping and multi-entity compliance, my approach remains organized, accurate, and compliance-focused.

My firm operates securely and efficiently through encrypted document exchange and scheduled phone/Zoom consultations, allowing clients to work with me remotely with ease.

I focus on accuracy, compliance, and structured financial reporting — helping business owners stay organized, avoid costly mistakes, and maintain defensible, well-prepared tax filings.

In addition to tax preparation, I provide ongoing bookkeeping services designed to keep businesses organized year-round — ensuring reconciled accounts, accurate reporting, and a smooth tax season.

I work best with clients who value organization, clear communication, and a proactive approach to financial planning and compliance.

If you're looking for a professional, detail-oriented firm that prioritizes structure over shortcuts, I’d be happy to assist.

Frequently asked questions

What is your typical process for working with a new customer?

begin with a brief phone or Zoom consultation to understand your situation and confirm scope of work. Once engagement terms are agreed upon, I provide a secure document upload link and checklist. After reviewing your records, I prepare your return or financials and schedule a follow-up discussion before filing or final delivery. My process is structured, organized, and designed to avoid last-minute issues.

What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?

I am an Enrolled Agent (EA), federally licensed by the U.S. Treasury to represent taxpayers before the IRS. I maintain ongoing continuing education in federal and state tax law, accounting standards, and compliance updates to ensure clients receive accurate and current guidance.

Do you have a standard pricing system for your services? If so, please share the details here.

Yes. My pricing is based on scope, entity type, complexity, and record condition. Individual tax returns typically start at $350, and business returns start at $750, depending on complexity. Ongoing bookkeeping services are structured as flat monthly retainers to provide consistent reconciliation, reporting, and compliance throughout the year. Short-term projects, cleanup work, or catch-up bookkeeping may be billed hourly starting at $60 per hour or quoted as a flat project fee depending on scope. All pricing is confirmed after a brief consultation to ensure clarity before work begins.

How did you get started in this business?

I founded GFM, LLC in 2012 to provide structured, compliance-focused accounting and tax services to individuals and small businesses. Over the years, I’ve built my practice around accuracy, organization, and long-term client relationships.

What types of customers have you worked with?

I work with individuals, rental property owners, sole proprietors, S-Corporations, Partnerships, and small to mid-sized operating businesses. Many clients seek structured bookkeeping, multi-entity tax compliance, or assistance correcting prior-year issues. I also assist clients with improving internal controls, restructuring chart of accounts, and implementing systems to support growth and audit-ready financial reporting.

Describe a recent event you are fond of.

Recently, I assisted a business owner in restructuring their financial reporting and correcting prior-year filings, helping them regain clarity and compliance. Seeing clients move from disorganization to confidence is always rewarding.

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a pro in your area of expertise?

Look for a licensed professional who prioritizes compliance, documentation, and structured processes long-term planning — not just low pricing. Clear communication and organized record keeping are essential for a smooth engagement.

What questions should customers think through before talking to pros about their needs?

Clients should consider: • What services are truly needed (tax only vs bookkeeping + tax) • Whether records are organized • Desired turnaround timeframe • Long-term financial goals Preparation and clarity upfront lead to better outcomes.
