Tax Strategy for Expanding Teams and Multi-Entity Businesses

Case Study: From Tax Stress to Tax Strategy

Meet Larissa, who runs a Houston-based contracting business. Her company was thriving, but every tax season brought a new surprise bill.


Here’s what we did:

  • Restructured her business into an S-Corp to reduce self-employment taxes
  • Set up a quarterly forecast system for predictable payments
  • Integrated a SEP-IRA for additional tax-advantaged savings
  • Identified missed credits from prior years and reclaimed them


The results:

  • Over $16,800 in tax savings in the first year
  • Consistent quarterly cash flow planning
  • Peace of mind knowing every decision is backed by a plan


“For the first time, I understand how to plan ahead instead of reacting after the fact.”
