Consulting Services FAQs
Should my business be an LLC or an S-corp?
It depends on your income, how you pay yourself, and your plans for growth — and the right answer can change as a business grows, so it’s worth revisiting. We’ll walk through the trade-offs for your situation.
I am starting a business. What do I need to set up?
Entity formation, an EIN, a bookkeeping system, and a plan for estimated taxes are the usual starting points. We’ll map out the order that makes sense for you.
What does tax planning actually mean?
Looking ahead at what you’ll owe while there is still time to change it — timing income and expenses, choosing the right entity, planning major purchases. Filing a return only records decisions you’ve already made.
Do you consult for individuals, not just businesses?
Yes. Major life events — retirement, an inheritance, selling property — carry tax consequences worth planning for in advance.
Do we have to be an existing client?
No. Give us a call and we’ll talk through what you’re facing.
