As Tax Day approached last week, I was reminded of a few things. Like how I promise myself that I’ll keep better track of my receipts and hire a tax consultant the next time around.

Despite these good intentions, April 14 arrives each year with the same result: Suddenly it’s 10 p.m., I’ve located all my “Important tax documents,” but time has run out. What I need is an all-night tax preparer.

Not even Angie’s List can help in this situation, despite the dozens of highly rated businesses in the accountant/tax consultant category. Tax preparers aren’t like waitresses or gas station attendants who work all-night shifts. They keep regular business hours – at least when they meet with clients for the first time.

That got me thinking. I wondered how many service providers on Angie's List work into the wee hours or are on-call for customers round-the-clock. Taxis are an obvious choice, but alarm companies and locksmiths also come to mind.

Maybe I can talk the folks here into creating a sub-category for Night Owl services. It would help a procrastinator like me. But maybe others would find it useful, too. Who wouldn’t want to know the location of an all-night dry cleaners, a car wash or tattoo parlor?

As for my taxes, I filed for an extension this year. That should give me plenty of time to hire an expert. I’ll know in about six months.
