About the firm

Who is TaxFocused Collab?

Taxfocused Collab Inc. is a tax preparation, bookkeeping and advisory firm led by Miguel Matos, with offices on Sedgwick Avenue in the Bronx. The team behind your return averages 15 years of experience and has prepared and filed more than 10,000 returns for over 2,400 clients.

The firm runs as a full virtual tax office. Documents move through an encrypted portal, returns are reviewed on video calls, and everything can be signed from your phone. You get Bronx prices and big-firm tooling, whether you are up the block or across the country.

Simple W-2 return or an S corporation with payroll in three states, the promise is the same: your pro signs and files only when the return is accurate and you are getting the best outcome the law allows. Talk to the team and see the difference.

Accuracy

Every return is prepared and reviewed by a professional who signs their work, backed by the technical depth to handle complex filings.

Access

Message your pro securely from the app, book a video call when you need one, and reach a person at (646) 389-0043 when it cannot wait.

Advocacy

We prepare with the whole picture in mind: your estimated payments, your withholding, and the letter from the state you hoped would go away.

How it works

How does filing with us work?

Four steps, most of them from your phone. No office visit required, unless you want one.

Step one

Create your portal account

Sign up and answer the onboarding questionnaire. It is how you get a free, accurate quote instead of a guess.

Step two

Scan and send your documents

Photograph W-2s, 1099s and statements with the app. Everything lands in encrypted storage, never in an email thread.

Step three

Your pro prepares, you approve

A professional prepares the return, walks you through it, and sends it for e-signature only when it is right.

Step four

We file and plan ahead

Your return is filed, your copies live in the portal year-round, and estimated payments are mapped so next April is calm.

Save time

The average taxpayer spends 13 hours preparing a return. Spend yours somewhere better and let a pro carry it.

We speak tax

The code gets more complex every year. Our network handles everything from a single W-2 to multi-state business returns.

Peace of mind

Your pro signs and files only when the return is accurate and complete, with every legitimate saving claimed.

Security protocols

Encrypted document exchange, secure messaging and e-signatures. Your Social Security number never rides in a text.

The virtual tax office

Can I really handle my taxes entirely from my phone?

Yes. TaxFocused Collab runs a complete virtual tax office, so the answer to "when can you come in?" is "you do not have to." Scan documents with the mobile app, message your pro securely, review your return on a video call, and e-sign the finished product wherever you are.

Your completed returns and records stay in encrypted storage year-round. When a lender asks for two years of returns on a Friday afternoon, they are three taps away.

New here? Create your portal account and complete the onboarding questionnaire to get a free quote on your exact situation. It takes about ten minutes.

Common questions

Straight answers before you commit.

Personal returns start at $185 for single and head of household filers, $285 for joint filers and investors, and $400 for self-employed filers and property investors. Business returns with one personal return included start at $800. The final fee depends on the forms your situation requires, and you get a free exact quote by completing the portal questionnaire.

Create an account in the client portal and answer the onboarding questionnaire. Your quote is based on the actual forms and schedules you need, so it holds up instead of growing at the end.

No. The whole engagement can run through the secure portal, the mobile app and video calls, and most clients never visit. The Bronx office is there when you would rather sit across a desk.

Yes. Book an advisory video call with a licensed CPA or Enrolled Agent for $40 for 15 minutes, $60 for 30, or $120 for a full hour. You can share your screen and get answers on your specific situation before committing to anything.

Plans start at $500 per month with a monthly income statement and balance sheet, posting and reconciliation for up to three financial accounts, and monthly sales tax reporting. Quarterly estimated tax payments and audit representation before the IRS, New York State and the Department of Labor are included. Larger plans add accrual accounting, payroll mapping, cashflow projections and monthly advisory meetings.

Yes. The $285 tier covers stocks, options, K-1s, rental property, crypto and NFT activity, with more than 300 deductions and credits reviewed. Self-employed filers and property investors with a Schedule C start at $400.

Yes. The business tier starts at $800 and covers S corporation and partnership returns with all schedules, plus one personal return for one business owner. Monthly accounting plans exist for businesses that want the books handled year-round too.

Through the client portal and mobile app. Photograph documents with the built-in scanner and they move through encrypted exchange into secure storage. Please never email or text images of tax documents, to us or to anyone.

Send it to us before you respond, and note the deadline printed on it. We support clients across agencies, and monthly accounting plans include audit representation before the IRS, NYS and the Department of Labor. If the deadline is inside a week, call (646) 389-0043 rather than waiting on a form.

Yes. Become a Tax Pro is live beginner training on preparing Form 1040 returns, taught by an IRS Enrolled Agent. No experience is required, and it suits people building a seasonal income, a new career or their own practice.
