Frequently Asked Questions

What's changing?

Hawkins & Hawkins has been acquired by Blue Haven CPA. This marks the beginning of Blue Haven CPA and a new chapter for the firm — with a continued commitment to the same high level of service you’ve come to expect.

 What's staying the same?

A lot.

  • Your day-to-day service and support
  • Familiar processes and timelines
  • The personal, relationship-based approach
  • Miranda will remain as your point of contact when you call or stop by the office

​Our goal is continuity first, improvements second — not disruption.

Who is Blue Haven CPA?

Blue Haven CPA is a firm built on nearly a decade of experience working with individuals and small business owners on tax planning, tax preparation, bookkeeping, and payroll. The firm was created with a clear focus on clarity, consistency, and proactive support — not just at tax time, but all year long.

Will my pricing change?

No immediate pricing changes are being made as part of this transition. If any adjustments are ever needed in the future, they will be communicated clearly and in advance.

Will my services change?

No services are being removed. Over time, additional planning and support options may be introduced — but only where they add real value. Any changes will be thoughtful, intentional, and client-first.

Do I need to do anything right now?

Please drop off your tax documents as usual, and if you have any questions, reach out!

Who do I contact if I have questions?

You can continue to call or stop by the office as usual. You may also reach out directly to us with any questions or concerns — we’re always happy to talk things through.

What does this mean long-term?

It means stability, clarity, and a firm built to support you beyond just filing deadlines. Blue Haven CPA is designed to be a reliable partner — someone you can turn to throughout the year, not just during tax season.

Questions? We've Got Answers!

Q: Can I just get tax prep without ongoing services?

Q: How does the $147 Tax Review work?

A: Simple—you send us last year’s return, and we’ll review it to identify missed deductions, credits, or planning opportunities. Then we’ll walk you through our findings in plain English so you can make better decisions moving forward.

Q: Is there a long-term contract?

A: Nope! We believe in earning your trust month after month. Most clients stick with us long-term because they see the value—not because they’re locked into a contract.

Q: What makes Blue Haven CPA different from other firms?

A: We don’t just file your taxes—we look at the full picture of your business and your lifetime tax situation. We help you avoid overpaying, keep your books clean, and give you clarity on whether your business is truly making money. Plus, we talk like real people, not accountants in a boardroom.​

Q: I’m behind on taxes and bookkeeping—can you still help?

A: Absolutely. Many clients come to us messy and stressed. We’ll help you catch up, get compliant, and put systems in place so it doesn’t happen again.

Q: What kind of bookkeeping help do you provide?

A: We can take the books completely off your plate or simply help clean things up and get you on the right track. Either way, you’ll finally know whether you’re making money (or losing it) each month.

Q: Do you help with payroll?

A: Yes. We help you set up and manage payroll so you can spend less time chasing timecards and more time running your business.
