The 15-minute discovery call is free — a fit check, no pitch. The 30 and 60-minute sessions are paid working consultations: real strategy, written follow-up, and the fee credited back if you proceed to a full engagement.
Every session is led personally by Samuel Oduro, EA, MBA — Managing Partner of Empower Capital Tax Advisors. Specialty: digital assets (IRC §1001, §1012, §1091, Rev. Rul. 2023-14, 1099-DA), equity events, and cross-border. AI notetakers welcome.
A fit check. We map your situation, confirm we're the right firm, and outline next steps. If it's a fit, a fixed-fee proposal follows by email.
Focused working session on a single, well-defined question — entity structuring, crypto reconciliation, an IRS notice, an equity event, or a cross-border position. Written follow-up included.
Full diagnostic for multi-asset planning, multi-year crypto remediation, entity restructuring, QSBS / §1202, pre-transaction planning, or layered cross-border situations.
Working consultations, not sales calls. Same sequence in both tiers — scaled to time and depth of deliverable.
Upload prior returns, brokerage or exchange summaries, and any IRS notices via the secure link in your confirmation. Samuel reviews before the call.
Zoom opens with §7216 consent on screen. Your notetaker joins if you've enabled one. We work the actual problem — no sales pitch.
30-min: summary & action items in 48 hours. 60-min: full diagnostic memo with positions, citations, and next steps in 5 business days.
Engage within 30 days and your session fee is credited dollar-for-dollar toward the engagement. No pressure if you don't.
Bring an AI notetaker if you'd like — Otter, Fireflies, Granola, Zoom AI Companion. Calendly surfaces this in your confirmation email. Every paid session opens with the IRC §7216 tax-information disclosure consent on screen before substantive discussion — this governs how your data is used, including any AI processing.
Notes and recordings are yours. We do not share session content with any third party without your written consent. All sessions are confidential professional communications under Circular 230.
Payment runs through Calendly via Stripe at the time of booking. Need to invoice through your business? Email tax@empowercapital.co and we'll send a QuickBooks invoice on Net-15 terms instead.
