"Fred's tremendous knowledge and commitment to service have greatly benefitted our company. He's corrected grave errors made by previous CPAs saving us tens of thousands of dollars. And he calmly navigated our way through a no change audit with the IRS. He has helped to transform us from a business that reacts to one that makes strategic decisions."

Who We Work With



OUR SERVICES MAY BENEFIT YOU!

Are you frustrated with taxes and the financial matters of your business? Are you a business owner or an individual with complex financial affairs? Are you frustrated with paying too much in taxes, with the uncertainty of complex and ever changing tax laws?

You are not alone!!

Clients we work with tend to be those who have significant financial and business issues to cope with. They operate as sole proprietorships, corporations, limited liability companies, partnerships, and trusts. They typically have significant assets and gross income between $100,000 and $25,000,000.

These days one of the biggest challenges facing individuals and business owners in meeting their financial goals is dealing with taxes - how to comply with all the tax filing requirements, how to minimize taxes, and how to defend against tax audits. Tax laws are complex and constantly changing. Navigating the tax system is like walking through a maze. No matter how careful you are you're bound to get lost. If you don't protect yourself, you may pay too much tax or leave yourself open to a tax audit adjustment.

Anyone may so arrange his affairs that his taxes shall be as low as possible. He is not bound to choose that pattern which best pays the Treasury. Everyone does it, rich and poor alike, and all do right. For nobody owes any public duty to pay more than the law demands. Judge Learned Hand (1872-1961)

If you give the tax authorities the opportunity to interpret a transaction differently than you do, they will do so - always in a way which results in you paying more tax. We are experts on taxes and are here to help you find your way. We stay alert to tax saving opportunities and believe in saving taxes through planning so you know what your tax obligations are before you prepare your income tax returns. We help you take advantage of tax saving opportunities before you get to the end of the year. We can help you structure transactions so they are not taxed at all or are taxed at the lowest rates. Waiting until after the end of the year, when you prepare your tax return, may be too late.

Business owners also face the challenge of understanding and controlling the financial aspects of their businesses. Business owners are usually well equipped to provide their product or service, but often do not have money to hire specialists to help deal with the financial aspects of their businesses. They are not always aware of how to use their financial statements to figure out whether or not they are profitable; and if they are not profitable, why not. They are not always aware of how to price their products or services to make more profit from what they do!

I found that short term programs do not help much. Our comprehensive approach to solving these problems does not rely on band aids but on solutions to the root problems. Bandages may stop the bleeding and make the immediate pain go away but they do not solve the ultimate problem. We believe that it is better to anticipate problems rather than react to them. In order to save taxes and achieve your personal and business goals you need long term commitment, not short term fixes.

Our most successful clients are open to change and realize that if they want different results they need to try new approaches. Our clients see our relationships as continuing and ongoing, not just based on individual transactions.
