Who This Is For

Built for People Who Want to Get Ahead of It

If any of these sound familiar, this service was built for your situation.

You only talk taxes in April

By the time you file, the year is closed and most opportunities to lower the bill are gone.

Your income is growing

A rising income or business pushes you into new brackets and new planning needs.

A big bill caught you off guard

You owed more than expected and want to get ahead of it next time.

You are weighing an S-Corp

An election or a retirement plan could save tax, but no one has mapped it for you.

You have a sale or windfall coming

Equity comp, a business sale, or a large gain deserves planning before it happens.

You want strategy, not just a return

You would rather shape the outcome than simply report it after the fact.

Clarifications

Tax Planning Questions, Answered

How is tax planning different from tax preparation?
Preparation reports what already happened and files the return. Planning happens during the year and shapes the outcome, by timing income, choosing an entity, and using retirement and deduction strategies before the year closes.
When should I start planning?
The earlier the better, and ideally before year-end, because many moves have deadlines tied to the calendar year. Some, like retirement contributions, have a bit more runway. We tell you what applies to you.
Can planning really lower my taxes?
Often, yes, through legal strategies like entity choice, retirement plans, and timing of income and deductions. The savings depend on your situation, which is exactly what we assess.
Do I need planning if my taxes are simple?
Maybe not. If your situation is straightforward, we will tell you honestly rather than sell you a service you do not need.
Is planning included with tax preparation?
Planning is offered as its own service because it happens during the year. We coordinate it closely with your filing.
How much does planning cost?
You get one flat fee, quoted after an introductory consultation, based on the scope of your situation, before any work begins.
My business develops products or software. Did the rules for research costs change?
Yes. Starting with 2025 returns, domestic research and development costs can again be deducted in the year they are incurred, rather than spread over several years. If your business capitalized these costs in recent years, there may be a way to recover them on a current return, depending on your situation. It is worth reviewing before you file so the treatment is set up correctly.
