FAQ: Small Business Tax Planning
Do I have to be a bookkeeping or tax prep client to get tax planning?
In most cases, yes. Accurate planning depends on accurate books and a good understanding of your returns. We can discuss your situation on a call.
How often do we meet for tax planning?
It depends on your business. Some owners meet once or twice a year; others prefer quarterly check-ins.
Can you guarantee a certain amount of tax savings?
No—and anyone who promises that is a red flag. What we can do is show you options, model the impact, and help you choose informed strategies.
Do you only work with businesses in certain industries?
We serve a range of established small businesses, including construction/trades, medical practices, IT/GovCon, law firms, and real estate investors.
What if my previous returns have issues?
We'll review prior returns and let you know if we see anything that might need attention as part of our planning work going forward.
