Who You're Contacting
ProAxis Tax & Accounting Services is a licensed CPA firm in Hasbrouck Heights, New Jersey. The address is 157 Prospect St, Hasbrouck Heights, NJ 07604. The direct line is (201) 800-2330.
The firm's principal is Dor Israel, CPA. He holds active CPA licenses in both New Jersey and New York.
ProAxis is also an Authorized IRS e-File Provider and an Advanced Certified QuickBooks Online ProAdvisor. Credentials are listed and verifiable on the team page. You can confirm any CPA license directly with the issuing state board.
How the firm works
ProAxis runs 100% virtually. Work moves through a secure client portal, encrypted document exchange, and scheduled video calls. Clients who prefer the phone are welcome to use it.
Every new relationship starts the same way. You reach out, the firm scopes the work, and both sides sign an engagement letter before any work begins. No content on this website creates a CPA-client relationship on its own.
What ProAxis handles
- Tax preparation and planning — individual returns, and business returns for S-Corps, partnerships, and C-Corps. See the full NJ tax services list.
- NJ SALT work — the BAIT election, Corporation Business Tax planning, and multi-state filing for owners with income in more than one state.
- Bookkeeping and payroll — monthly books, catch-up cleanup, and payroll filings. Pricing by business size is published on the bookkeeping page.
- Fractional CFO support — cash-flow forecasting, margin analysis, and budget work for owners who need numbers between filings.
- IRS notice work — transcript pulls and notice response under Form 8821. Matters that require formal representation are referred out.
Where clients are
Most clients sit in the New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania tri-state corridor. Bergen County is the densest cluster. Towns with their own service-area pages include:
- Hackensack and Paramus — the county's two largest business centers.
- Ridgewood and Teaneck — heavy on professional practices and owner-operators.
- Fort Lee and Fair Lawn — a large share of NJ/NY cross-border filers.
- Coverage also extends to Manhattan, Westchester, and the Lehigh Valley.
Because the firm is virtual, location matters less than tax footprint. What matters is which states you file in. The service-area directory lists the towns with dedicated pages.
Response times and hours
Office hours are Monday through Friday, 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM Eastern. Messages sent through this form are answered within one business day. Messages that arrive over a weekend are answered on Monday.
During filing season the phone is the faster channel for anything time-sensitive. That means an IRS notice with a response deadline, an audit letter, or a filing date that is days away.
Returns the firm prepares
- Individuals — Form 1040, including multi-state, part-year, and equity-compensation returns.
- S-Corporations — Form 1120-S, shareholder K-1s, and reasonable-compensation review.
- Partnerships and multi-member LLCs — Form 1065 and partner K-1s.
- C-Corporations — Form 1120 and NJ Corporation Business Tax filings.
- Estates and gifts — see estate and gift tax for scope.
What onboarding looks like
Onboarding runs in the same order for nearly every engagement. The point is to get the firm current on your history before new filing work starts.
- A scoping call, then an engagement letter. No work begins before both are done.
- Portal setup, with a document checklist built for your entity type.
- A signed Form 8821, so the firm can pull IRS transcripts and see what was actually filed.
- A read of the last two to three returns and any depreciation schedules.
- A books check, if bookkeeping is part of the engagement.
Most onboardings finish inside two to three weeks. Engagements that include a bookkeeping catch-up take longer. The timeline depends mostly on how fast prior records arrive.
How your documents are handled
Tax documents move through the secure client portal, not plain email. Email attachments are a common way client data leaks. Source records and finished returns are not sent that way.
Client tax information stays confidential. Federal rules bar a preparer from disclosing or using it outside the engagement without your written consent. That applies to firm staff and to any subcontracted work.
Returns, workpapers, and filed copies stay available in the portal during the engagement. You can download your own records whenever you want. If you leave, client-owned records are released on request.
Already a client?
Existing clients can send documents through the secure client portal rather than this form. Finished a return or a cleanup and the work went well? You can leave ProAxis a review.
Reviews are the single most useful thing a client can do for a young firm. They are also how most new clients find this one.
Attorneys, financial advisors, and clients who know a business owner who needs a CPA can refer a client to ProAxis. That page explains how referrals are handled and what the referring party can expect.
Questions that come up before an engagement starts are collected on the frequently asked questions page. The answers below cover the ones that come up most often on a first call. If you are looking for a page and cannot find it, the site directory lists everything published here.
Common Questions Before Reaching Out
If this is your first time talking to a CPA, the questions below are the ones we hear most often during introductory calls. Reading them ahead of time tends to make the consultation itself shorter and more productive — you arrive already knowing the basics of what we do, what we charge, and what an engagement looks like in practice.
Is the consultation actually free?
Yes. The first 30-minute call is free with no obligation to engage us afterward. We use the time to understand your situation, identify what kind of work you actually need (which is sometimes different from what you came in asking about), and decide together whether we are a fit. If we are not, we will tell you and, when possible, point you to a more appropriate firm.
Do I have to be in New Jersey?
No. We are licensed in both New Jersey and New York and work entirely virtually. Our active client base is concentrated across the NY/NJ/PA tri-state corridor, but the engagement model — a secure client portal, video meetings, encrypted document exchange — works for any U.S. taxpayer with U.S. tax obligations. We do not take engagements outside that core competency, including international tax filings (FBAR/8938 disclosures aside) or states where we lack relevant experience.
What does it cost?
It depends on what you actually need, which is what the consultation is for. As a rough guide: individual returns typically run a few hundred to a few thousand dollars depending on complexity (rental properties, K-1s, multi-state, equity comp); business returns scale with entity type and the state of your books; ongoing bookkeeping ranges from $300 to $4,000+ per month based on volume and complexity. We publish detailed bookkeeping pricing on the 2026 cost guide if you want to estimate before the call. These ranges are not an offer — every engagement is scoped and quoted individually during the consultation.
What documents should I bring to the consultation?
Nothing is required for the introductory call — we keep it conversational. If you want us to look at something specific, the most useful items are your most recent business and personal tax returns, a recent profit-and-loss statement (or QuickBooks login), and any IRS or state notices you have received. None of those are necessary to get started; they just let us give more concrete answers if you want them.
When should I call versus fill out the form?
If you are facing a deadline-sensitive issue (an active IRS notice, an audit letter, a missed filing) call us directly at (201) 800-2330. For everything else — pricing questions, longer-term planning, switching firms, starting a new business — the form is faster because it routes to the right team member based on what you describe. We respond to all inquiries within one business day.
Do you take on clients mid-year, or only during tax season?
We onboard clients year-round. The clients who come to us in November or December often see the most immediate value because there is still time to execute year-end planning moves — retirement-plan contributions, charitable bunching, S-Corp election decisions for the following tax year, depreciation strategy on equipment placed in service before December 31. Mid-year onboardings (April through September) typically focus on bookkeeping cleanup and quarterly-estimate recalibration so the year-end conversation is a planning conversation rather than a triage exercise.
What if I am leaving another firm? How does the transition work?
It is straightforward. After we sign an engagement letter, we send a signed Form 8821 (Tax Information Authorization) so we can request prior-year transcripts and depreciation schedules directly from the IRS and state agencies. We also request your prior-preparer's file copy of the most recent two to three years of returns and accompanying workpapers — under AICPA rules, prior preparers are required to provide certain client-owned records on request, and most do so without friction. The transition is largely invisible to the client beyond signing the authorization forms.
