A family tax and bookkeeping firm in Lyons, serving all of Rice County and beyond, that treats your numbers with the same care as our own. Where clients become family.
Grand opening · July 2026
The Lyons Chamber of Commerce, our neighbors, and our own family gathered to celebrate the day Capps Family Tax officially opened its doors. Thank you to everyone who came to share it with us.
The doors are open, and there is a chair with your name on it.
The same person, every year
You deserve more than a tax preparer. You deserve a trusted partner who is here all year, not just during tax season.
Philip and Sherri Capps run this firm the way they were raised: know your neighbors, do the work right, and be there when it matters. When you call, you get us. Not a call center, not a different preparer every February. Us.
Our office is in Lyons, and our clients are all over: Sterling, Little River, Chase, every corner of Rice County, and plenty of folks farther out. If you are not in town, that is no problem at all.
We're honored to serve our community with the same care we'd give our own family. Thank you for trusting us with yours.
Sherri and Philip Capps
Because we believe
The whole reason we do this, in a few plain sentences.
You should understand your taxes, not just sign where we point.
Your bookkeeping should not keep you awake at night.
Someone should answer your questions before they become problems.
Every business owner deserves a trusted advisor.
Relationships matter. That is the whole reason we do this.
You are not the only one
Most offices go quiet after the filing deadline, right when the IRS letters start showing up. We work year round, and the person who filed your return is the one who picks up the phone in July.
Clean numbers are not enough. You deserve someone who explains them in plain English until they make sense. That is the whole job.
Bring us the shoebox. No judgment, we have seen far worse than yours. Catching people up is some of our favorite work, because that is the day the dread stops.
What we do
Four services, one person who knows your whole picture. Here is what each one is for.
For the family or business owner who wants to know the price before the work starts, and wants the same person filing every year. Individuals, small businesses, S corps, partnerships, farms, simple trusts, and nonprofits. Bring us last year's return and we will make sure nothing gets missed going forward.
For the owner who is behind and a little embarrassed about it, and for the one who wants clean monthly numbers explained in plain English. Bring us the shoebox. No judgment. We have seen worse than yours.
For the owner who just hired their first employee and realized withholding, filings, and W2s are now their problem. We run payroll on your schedule, including seasonal farm labor.
For the new owner who wants to start right, and the existing one who forgot a Kansas deadline. Twenty five dollars flat per filing, and we watch your deadlines so you are never late. The price is right there on the page, because that is how we do things.
Want all of it for one flat monthly price? Most clients who use us for more than one thing pick a year round membership. One predictable payment, one person who already knows you, and no contract. Have a question first? Our FAQ answers the ones we hear most.
Plain prices
Our memberships bundle year-round support into one predictable monthly price: $49, $149, or $300 a month depending on how much help you want. Month to month, no contract.
Every plan includes Gather & Grow, our monthly learning and networking session.
For farm families
Wheat checks in June. Cattle sold in the fall. Equipment bought when the price is right, not when the calendar says so. Farm taxes have their own rhythm, and we know it: Schedule F, ag payroll, and the crop-year cash flow that city preparers never quite get. There are 433 farms in Rice County. We would be proud to keep the books for yours.
Book a time, call, or just text us. Tell us where things stand, even if the answer is "I am not sure." That is a fine place to start.
