Filing
Filing reports what already happened
By the time a return is on the screen, every decision that moved the number has been made. A preparer can only describe your year accurately. That is worth paying for, and it is where most people stop.

Pierre Alcegaire runs a tax practice that answers until ten at night, seven days a week, in English and Haitian Creole. Filing is the front door. The planning behind it is what actually moves your bill.

The whole argument, in three panels
Most people do not have a tax problem. They have a structure problem.
Pierre writes a six part series on this for his own clients. It compresses to three ideas, and they are the reason a planning engagement costs more than a return and returns more than it costs.
Structure
Structure decides what happens next
How the business is formed, what you pay yourself, when income lands and which retirement accounts absorb it. None of that is a filing question. All of it is settled before December.
Year round
The work is spread across the year
A strategy call, a structure review, then quarterly check ins as income moves. Most of what saves money has a deadline that is nowhere near April.
Seven ways in
Start with a return. Stay for the structure.
Every engagement below is his own, published on his own site. The prices and the turnaround are on this page because you should not have to book a call to learn them.

How long it took the IRS to accept Kirsten Johnson's return after he filed it.
Had a great experience working with Pierre on our taxes. I was really impressed with his speed and knowledge of the filing process, and he took the time to walk me through everything on a call. It felt very relationship-focused, not just transactional, and I appreciated the insight into how they can help us moving forward. Highly recommend!

Three trades, on purpose
Contractors, trucking, and home service businesses.
These are the three he names on his own site, and the reasons he gives are specific to each of them.
Contractors and construction
General contractors, excavation, HVAC, roofing, electrical.
High profit variability, large tax inefficiencies, and almost no proactive planning.
Logistics and trucking
Owner operators, small fleet owners, dispatch companies, freight brokers.
Deduction complexity, entity optimisation, multi-state exposure, equipment strategy.
Home service businesses
Plumbing, landscaping, cleaning, pest control, restoration.
Rapid growth, owner led decisions, and immediate sensitivity to return on spend.
Thresholds he publishes: $60K+ in business profit, or $100K+ in personal income. What that looks like in practice
What planning has actually returned
Three anonymised engagements he publishes himself.
An S-Corp election with a salary split, a Solo 401(k) and equipment depreciation for the contractor. Per diem deductions, Section 179 and multi-state planning for the owner operator. A reasonable salary, SEP-IRA maximisation and a vehicle strategy for the plumbing company. Results vary based on individual circumstances. These are illustrative examples.

Pierre Alcegaire, founder
One person, and he answers his own phone.
A degree in accounting, an MBA in data analytics, five years in the profession and a background in corporate finance. He is a rental property investor and a business owner himself, which is why the advice tends to be practical rather than theoretical.
He started the practice because sophisticated tax strategy sat with executives and the very wealthy while contractors and owner operators, who need it just as much, were handed a filing service and nothing else.
More about PierreAsked and answered
The questions people ask before they call.
A flat fee of $185 covers personal and small business tax filing. You are told the number before any work starts, and it does not move because your return turned out to be more complicated than it looked.
Returns are filed within 24 hours, or you get 25% off. That is the commitment. One client's return was accepted by the IRS within an hour of filing.
Yes. Tax preparation and planning are both available in English and in Haitian Creole, so nobody in Franklin County has to sign a return they only half understood.
Filing reports what already happened. Planning changes what happens next: your entity structure, how you pay yourself, when income lands, and which retirement accounts absorb it. Filing is backward looking and reactive. Planning is year round.
No. Clients within about 50 miles of Chambersburg can meet in person. Everyone else works with Pierre remotely, with the same process and no geographic limit.
Eight in the morning until ten at night, Monday through Friday, and until six on Saturday and Sunday. Seven days a week, which is the point when you run a business during the day.
It depends on your profit and how you pay yourself. A break even analysis comes first, so the election only happens when it genuinely saves you more than the payroll and compliance cost.
Individual returns including W-2 and 1099, self-employed and contractor returns, business returns for LLCs, S-Corps and partnerships, multi-state filings, and rental and investment income.
Refer a friend or family member and you both get $25 off.
