Tax Solutions
Most tax preparers look backward. We look forward — building year-round strategy, coordinating with your books, and finding every dollar the tax code allows for your industry before the return is ever filed.
Why our tax work is different
Most CPAs see you once a year. We're inside your books every month — so every strategy is stress-tested against real numbers before it matters.
We build a tax strategy in Q1, adjust it mid-year when your numbers shift, and file a return that reflects the plan — not a surprise discovered in April.
Short-term rentals, campgrounds, multifamily, and crypto each have specific elections, deductions, and pitfalls. We know the playbook for your industry, not just the general code.
S-corp elections, operating vs. holding splits, and nexus exposure across multiple states — handled together, not as three separate engagements with three separate bills.
Because we also handle bookkeeping, we catch classification errors before they become tax errors. No year-end reconciliation fire drills; the numbers are right all year.
What's included
Our tax engagement covers the full lifecycle — entity to owner, federal to state, filing to notice response.
The planning advantage
Once the year closes, your options narrow to filing accurately. The leverage — cost seg elections, retirement contributions, entity changes, asset timing — only exists while the year is still open. We build the strategy in Q1 and refine it all year, so when December comes, every lever has already been pulled.
Strategies we run
These aren't exotic shelters — they're code-compliant strategies most preparers skip because they require planning, documentation, and industry knowledge.
Reclassify real property components into shorter-life assets and combine with bonus depreciation to front-load deductions — often creating a large paper loss in the acquisition year.
Converting a profitable single-member LLC to S-corp status, setting defensible reasonable compensation, and routing the rest as distributions — reducing self-employment tax on the spread.
Structuring income, wages, and entity type to maximize the pass-through deduction for eligible business owners — often the largest single-year lever available.
Analyzing where you have physical, economic, or payroll nexus, structuring operations to minimize exposure, and filing accurately in each state you're obligated — without over-filing.
Identifying qualified research activities — software development, process improvement, new product design — documenting the four-part test, and claiming the credit at federal and state levels.
Meeting material participation and hours tests to unlock passive-loss rules for real estate investors and short-term rental operators, allowing losses to offset active income.
What we actually run for you

STR professional status, lodging tax compliance, cost segregation on vacation properties, and depreciation strategy for operators managing one unit or a portfolio.
