STAGES OF TAX PLANNING

While tax planning starts with a plan, that plan needs to be implemented in a legal manner, maintained, and
reflected in the tax return.

PLANNING

The planning is the most important part of our engagement.

We are performing a review of your tax position and making recommendations for how much you can save with proactive tax planning strategies.

Some savings may be from prior years, but most will be in the current year and beyond

IMPLEMENTATION

Once we complete the tax plan, we will present to you anywhere from 1-25+ strategies depending on the circumstances.

Some of the strategies require minimal implementation, others may be complex and involved 3rd parties.

We'll guide you every step of the way.

QUARTERLY

Keeping up with the compliance to ensure the savings are defendable, and realized in the returns, is where tax planning gets finalized.

If we decide to work together on a quarterly basis, this includes basic planning, implementation of basic planning strategies and a review of financial results to make proper estimated payments.

PREPARATION

The preparation of the returns is the last stage of the process.

At this point, we can actually calculate what your final tax payment will be and compare it to what you would have paid without doing proactive tax planning.

The preparation does not cover monthly accounting, clean up, or closing the books.

NEXT STEPS IN THE PLANNING PROCESS

While tax planning starts with a plan, that plan needs to be implemented in a legal manner, maintained, and reflected in the tax return.

KICK OFF CALL

We'll schedule a kick off call where we can walk through the engagement and what information we'll need to get in order to complete our planning.

This call will last approximately 45 minutes and can be performed remotely.

FIRE REQUEST, QUESTIONNAIRES

In order of us to do a full analysis of the situation, we will send you a full request list of tax and other financial information.

Additionally, we'll need you to complete a questionnaire to help us identify savings opportunities.

FINALIZE TAX PLAN

When we receive all the required information, and perform our research, we will present to you our planning strategies and what the process of implementation will be for each.

This will include source references for all planning strategies.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQ)

Q1: What strategies do you cover?

A: We cover hundreds of strategies when you consider strategies and their combinations: deductions, legal entity, retirement, insurance, loopholes, new legislation TCJA, FFCRA, CARES, advanced and niche strategies.

Q7: Can you guarantee these savings?

A: We can't guarantee any of the savings. The nature of tax planning is that it's forward looking and based on projections of income and expense. If those income and expense numbers change for any reason, savings will be impacted.

Q2: Are you a CPA?

A: No, but most CPA's don't do planning, they just do tax preparation. You can keep your current preparer or work with us to ensure the savings in the plan are realized. We have CPA's, attorneys, and tax advisors reviewing and implementing are tax plans.

Q8: Can I keep my current tax preparer?

A: Yes, many of our clients all keep their current tax preparer. However, if you choose to do tax preparation with us, we can accommodate that as well.

Q3: Why doesn't my current accountant know this?

A: Most accountants are compliance oriented, reactive, and focused on historical analysis. We are proactive, forward-looking, and plan for the future. It's a completely different mindset, service offering, and result that we achieve for our clients.

Q9: What role should Tax Planning play in my overall financial plan?

A: Proactive tax planning is essential to building and keeping wealth. With the right guidance, you can understand the tax impact of every decision — and hold on to more of what you earn.

Q4: How do you come up with an estimated savings?

Q10: When should I think about Tax Planning?

A: Before we engage in a formal tax planning relationship, we gather limited information from our conversations about income, projections, legal structure, current planning and we can develop an estimated savings which will be finalized once we perform a tax plan.

A: True tax planning goes beyond annual filings. It should happen every year and with every major life or financial change. As tax laws grow more complex, proactive, forward-looking planning ensures your strategy evolves with both your finances and the law.

Q5: Is this the only tax plan I'll ever need

A: Hopefully not. As your income grows to new levels, a new set of planning strategies are needed. While not typical, the most successful clients need tax planning every single year. However, if there is no major change to the business from one year to the next, we may not need another tax plan for years.

Q11: Can Tax Planning help me keep more of what I have earned?

A: Your financial choices today shape your wealth tomorrow. With a clear understanding of your goals, we’ll help uncover tax opportunities and create a strategy designed for long-term success.

Q6: Are there any other costs of the plan?

A: If you chose to implement certain retirement, insurance, or legal structures, there may be additional fees or costs associated with the implementation of the strategies.

Q12: Can Tax Planning help me mitigate risk or offset losses?

A: Market downturns can present opportunities to harvest losses, but the opposite is also true — gains in one part of your portfolio can often be offset by losses in another within the same year.

Are you prepared to discover the personal aspect of wealth?

Let’s begin.
