We specialize in income tax preparation and planning for individuals and small businesses. We also offer IRS audit representation and payroll return preparation services.

Maine’s Commercial Fisherman have come to know Back River Financial Group as the premier tax preparer in Maine. We credit this to decades of research and experience meeting their specific needs.

We prepare tax returns for individuals, partnerships, corporations, and any other entities with tax-reporting requirements. Unlike Attorneys and CPAs, who may or may not choose to specialize in taxes, our accountants specialize in taxation and are required by the federal government to maintain their professional skills with continuing professional education.

We proudly perform all of our tax and accounting services in our office. We do not outsource any of our clients' important and confidential information, and we stand behind the quality of our services.

We welcome new clients and thank you for visiting our website.
