    Are you o/o's happy with the service your getting from ATBS? What exactly do they provide aside from bookkeeping and tax prep?

    personally, I will not use them. They charge more than my CPA does every year, and with my CPA, I actually get one on one service.

    I hope to answer the question, "Who is ATBS?" We are located just outside Denver, CO and manage the taxes, bookkeeping, online receipt archive, profit planning and more for 1,000s of owner-operators and have been doing so since 1998. We know the transportation industry and we know how to help owner-operators make more money and get every legal tax deduction.

    We have not had a price increase since our inception in 1998. On the other hand, our costs rise year after year. We've invested in technology that helps owner-operators daily -- our clients use the online receipt archive while they are on the road. They can use their smartphone or tablet to pull up a receipt proving their tires are still under warranty.

    But don't listen to me, listen to Gary Coate who is an owner-operator and shared a video testimonial right on our website: www.atbsshow.com/ITS

    Thanks for your time.

    I have been using ATBS for the year and a half I've been leased to Swift. They were very helpful last year as I had a complicated return as I had teamed for a time but the guy never gave me a 1099, I had cashed out a trust fund and purchased my truck, plus owed back taxes for previous years, they were able to help get that all in order for me. For 2012 and 2013 they have projected I will owe zero taxes.
