Services

*Tax Planning and Compliance*

Our tax professionals view tax planning as an ongoing process, not just a year-end event. We are dedicated to minimizing your tax liability and helping you remain compliant with tax laws. Our tax planning and return preparation services include:

• Individuals
• Sole proprietorships
• S and C Corporations
• Partnerships and LLC's
• Estates and trusts
• Cost Segregation Studies

As a specialized tax planning service, we offer cost segregation studies, which can significantly increase cash flows related to the depreciation of real property. By reclassifying a portion of building costs as property depreciable over 5 to 15 years, we can enhance depreciation deductions in the early years, leading to substantial tax savings.

*Financial and Estate Planning*

In conjunction with our tax planning services, we are equipped to review your overall financial situation and provide guidance on:

• Investment strategies
• Retirement planning
• Estate planning
• Insurance needs assessment
• College savings plans
• Risk management

We work closely with you to ensure that your financial plan aligns with your short-term and long-term goals, helping you maintain financial stability and achieve your dreams.
