Pick a time that suits you. The call is free and there is no obligation.
What helps on a first call
You do not need to prepare much. A few notes make the time more useful:
- The three tasks that take the most staff time
- The software you already use
- Whether you are a business or a CPA firm
- A rough sense of timing and budget, if you have one
How to reach us
The quickest way to start is to email hello@cost.guru or call (480) 696-8863. You can also book a free call using the link on this page, which opens our calendar so you can pick a time. We do not use contact forms, chat widgets or sign-in pages. When you write or call, you reach the people who read your message, and we reply directly. If you prefer to write first and talk later, that works well: tell us what you are trying to do and we will reply with questions or suggestions.

What to include in a first message
Please do not send passwords, keys or sensitive customer records by email.
- A sentence or two about your business, and whether you are a business or an accounting firm.

- The main software you use for it.
- Anything you have already tried.
- A rough sense of timing and budget, if you have one.
Who to contact for what
For questions about services, kits, agents and custom work, use the contact details above. For questions about the R&D Tax Credit AI, TaxTrex or creditARMOR, use the same details and say which product you mean, and we will bring in Swanson Reed where its terms apply. If you are a CPA firm interested in offering the white-label products, the become-a-partner page describes what to expect. For anything about this website, such as an error you have found, email us as well.

How we handle what you send
We use what you send to reply to you and to scope work you ask about. We do not sell your information. Booking happens on a Google Calendar page, which has its own privacy practices. Our privacy policy gives the details.
Questions we are often asked
People often ask whether a first call costs anything: it does not. They ask whether they need to be technical: they do not. They ask whether we will try to sell them something: we will tell you what we think fits, including cheaper options, and the decision is yours. And they ask how quickly we reply. We aim to answer promptly, but we do not state a guaranteed time. If your matter is urgent, call.
If you are a CPA firm
We will not ask for client names or confidential details on a first call.
- Tell us how many clients you have, and how many do research or development work.
- Tell us which practice software you use.
- Say whether you are interested in your own practice's AI, the R&D tax credit products, or both.
- We will explain what is confirmed and what is still a proposal.
If you are not sure what you need
That is fine, and quite common. Describe what takes your team's time, in your own words, and we will work out the rest. You do not need to know whether you want a kit, an agent or a custom build. That is what the first conversation is for.
Ways we can help, in brief
Whichever you need, contact us for pricing.
- Planning: free calls and fixed-fee reviews that show where AI would pay off.
- Kits and agents: lower-cost starting points you run yourself or have set up for you.
- Custom work: designed around your process, quoted in writing first.
- R&D tax credit tools: the R&D Tax Credit AI agent and the white-label TaxTrex and creditARMOR products from Swanson Reed.
