FAQs

  • What’s the difference between tax preparation and tax planning?

    Preparation happens after the year is done. Tax planning—and tax advisory—are proactive strategies that help you reduce taxes before they’re due.

  • Do I need a tax planner if my business already uses accounting software?

    Software can track data, but it won’t design a tax strategy. That’s where tax advisory comes in—turning data into decisions.

  • Do you work with our legal or in-house finance team?

    Yes, we coordinate closely with your internal teams and outside counsel to ensure smooth implementation.

  • Is this service virtual?

    Yes. Our tax planning and tax advisory services are fully remote, with secure communication and documentation.
