Most people think:

"Tax returns are boring and provide no intrinsic value to my business."


That's why we're here -- to take care of your tax and financial planning needs. We'll seamlessly handle your tax planning and financial strategies, keep you in compliance with Federal and State tax laws, and free you to do what you need to do most -- run your business.

Regardless of your company's stage of development, we will work with you to deliver practical advice that integrates the most cost effective strategies to create cohesive business solutions for your company.

Minimizing your taxes:

Arthur Godfrey once said, "I'm proud to be paying taxes in the United States. The only thing is -- I could be just as proud for half the money." Our experienced professionals, through proper planning, will make certain you pay the least amount of taxes possible. Nobody wants to pay less taxes than we do. Whether it's stock option planning, business restructuring, investment strategies, or estate and gift planning, we'll sweat the details to deliver bottom line results.

Starting your business:

We have helped many entrepreneurs answer a multitude of questions when creating a business.

The first steps
- What is a tax identification number? Do I need one?
- What kind of entity (corporation, partnership, LLC, S Corp) do I need?
- Can I pay my staff as contractors rather than employees and avoid FICA taxes?
- Do I have to withhold income taxes?


Growing a business:

- How should I grow my company?
- How do I raise capital?
- How do I bring other partners into the business?
- What can I do to increase my cash flow?

Compensation planning:

- How much should I pay my team?
- Can I get more out of my corporation?
- What personal perks can I run through my corporation?
- What kinds of retirement plans are available?
- Are stock options right for our team?

We have answers to all these questions and more.

In addition, our professionals offer seminars for your employees to educate them on their stock options so they can maximize the value of their plans.

Mergers and Acquisitions:

We are experienced in all aspects of business transactions, representing both buyers and sellers. We can assist in determining your business' worth; how much you should pay to acquire another's business; if you should buy assets or stocks, and more.

If you are ready to cash out, we can help you find a buyer for your company and plan effective ways to shelter the income once received.

Already found a business to buy? We will research the opportunity for you from all angles, weeding out any possible problems before you invest.

Whether you are buying, selling, or combining two organizations, here are some ways we can assist you:

- Perform due diligence in connection with acquisitions
- Review and advise on acquisition agreement
- Advise on tax planning opportunities
- Consult on business valuation and purchase price
- Confer with and/or recommend attorneys, bankers, and venture capitalists
