Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about our tax planning services
QDo I need to be a bookkeeping client to use your tax planning services?
No, but it helps. If you already have clean, up-to-date books, we can work with what you have. If your bookkeeping needs work, we may recommend cleanup or ongoing bookkeeping so that our planning recommendations are based on accurate numbers.
QHow is tax planning different from tax preparation?
Tax preparation is filing what already happened. Tax planning is about shaping what will happen, timing income and expenses, adjusting owner compensation, making smart decisions before year-end. The goal is to reduce your total tax over time, not just report the past.
QHow often will we meet during the year?
It depends on your situation, but most clients meet with us at least twice a year, once mid-year and once before year-end. More complex situations or fast-changing businesses may benefit from quarterly check-ins.
QCan you help if I have income in multiple states or in DC?
Yes. Multi-state and DC tax issues are common for our clients, and we factor those into our planning. We'll help you understand your obligations and find strategies to minimize your combined state and federal burden.
