We will thoroughly and conscientiously study your personal situation, and tailor our advice to your specific needs.
Tax Preparation & Planning
Effective tax preparation and planning can help you to minimize your future tax liability. Taxes may be a certainty in life, but worrying about them doesn’t have to be. For individuals, we can save you time, money and stress by preparing and filing your returns, while claiming every allowable deduction and credit. For businesses, we can help by minimizing your tax liability, while ensuring that you stay in compliance with all federal, state and local regulations.
Accurate and timely filing of returns is only the beginning of an effective tax strategy, however. Every personal or business financial decision, from buying a house to selling investment holdings, from expanding staff to replacing aging equipment, can have significant tax implications. Successful tax planning rests on understanding all of these impacts before the decision is made, so that you can act at the most advantageous time. Let us show you how.
Our country’s ever-changing tax code places heavy burdens on both individuals and companies, but it also holds extraordinary opportunities if you know where to look. Our experts are here to guide you along the path from basic tax compliance to a strategy for long-term tax minimization.

Business success depends on timely identification of both problems and opportunities, and efficient development of strategies to respond to both. As your trusted business consultant, we combine dedication to your success with wide-ranging business acumen to offer honest, objective advice on everything from minor restructuring to preparing a business for sale.
We will take the time to learn about your company’s unique challenges, goals and current strategies. We then draw on years of business analysis experience to help you address inefficiencies, and identify and capitalize on hidden growth potential. We empower you and your team to make well-informed choices for the future of your business.
Whether you need short-term assistance with a major transition, or a long-term partner in strategic planning, we can help you unlock the full potential of your business.
Business Entity Selection
The way you structure your business has far-reaching tax and financial implications. Each business entity class—partnership, LLC, sole proprietorship, S corporation, etc.—has distinct advantages and disadvantages with respect to tax liability, personal asset protection, operational structure, and more. Selecting the best entity type for your company requires careful analysis of your business objectives.
We will thoroughly review your current transactions and business plan with you to help you find the ideal structure for your business. And because the best entity designation today might not suit your evolving needs in the future, we will also provide guidance on how to regularly reassess your business structure, and change it if appropriate.

Protecting your financial well-being goes beyond taxes and bookkeeping. We offer comprehensive health and life insurance services tailored to meet the unique needs of individuals and families. Our team of certified agents will help you navigate the complexities of insurance options to secure coverage that aligns with your goals, offering peace of mind for the future. Whether you’re looking to safeguard your health or provide for loved ones, we’ll guide you through finding and selecting the right insurance solutions to protect what matters most to you and ensure your long-term financial security.
Notary Public
A notary public can help you to handle various business matters, including witnessing and authenticating document execution and signatures.
Many contracts and other business documents require notarization in order to take effect. If your company does not have an in-house notary public, we can provide one whenever needed. Even when notarization is not legally required, having a notary public witness and authenticate the execution of an agreement ensures that your company’s interests will be well protected if the terms of the agreement are ever disputed.
We can also provide useful services for your staff, including authenticating absentee ballots and legal documents. Offering this service to your personnel can reduce lost worker-hours, as employees will not need to find a notary public at a bank or other institution.
Payroll Services
Payroll administration poses ongoing challenges for business owners, due to constantly changing federal, state, and local tax laws and other regulations. Often, highly impactful changes to payroll management rules and procedures occur during times of economic distress, when your key personnel’s attention is divided between a wide array of issues.
Our payroll services professionals will work with your staff to implement sound payroll administration practices that can be swiftly adapted whenever the need arises. We closely monitor changes in payroll regulations, tax laws, and compliance requirements, ensuring that your business stays informed and compliant with any updates that could impact your payroll processes and employees.
By ensuring that payroll runs smoothly through every change in regulations, economic realities, and the size of your staff, we can help you stay focused on growing your business.
Retirement Planning
Whether you are devising your personal retirement strategy or choosing a retirement plan to offer your employees, we can help you find the best options for you. Drawing on years of experience in retirement strategy, we will work with you to develop a retirement plan designed to withstand the economic ups and downs that inevitably occur over time.
For businesses, we can carefully review the unique financial realities of your company and employee population, so you can offer retirement plans that serve everyone’s best financial interests. We can also educate key personnel about compliance issues associated with each plan, empowering them to manage the plans effectively going forward.
For individuals and couples, retirement is deeply personal and we take pride in working with our clients on an individual basis to determine a strategy that fits your unique financial situation, risk tolerance, and long-term goals.
Sales Tax Services
Online sales tax collection, complying with state and local sales tax rules is more important and complex than ever. With regulations varying by state and even from one municipality to the next, sales tax compliance can quickly grow extremely complex, even for a small company with one location.
We will help you understand and meet all of your sales tax obligations, including calculating use taxes (if applicable) and filing timely and accurate returns. We can also help you determine whether changes in your operations might increase or decrease your sales tax liability.
Sales and use taxes are a primary revenue source for many states, counties, and cities, so government revenue departments strive to maximize collections. Working with an experienced sales tax partner helps ensure that you neither underpay nor overpay.
