Tax Planning & Preparation
Tax planning and preparation form a winning combination for our successful individual and business clients. Whether you are an individual with multi-state filing requirements or a multi-tiered partnership, we can develop tax strategies that take advantage of ever changing tax laws and legislation. High net-worth individual clients and complex, multi-state income tax filing issues are areas of specialization for the firm.
Estate & Trust Tax Preparation
Effective estate planning is only one-half of the process. When the time arrives where your plans have to be carried out, you need a firm that understands the legal language included in your documents and how it interfaces with the laws regarding the taxation of wealth and income. There are tax saving opportunities for the beneficiaries of estates and trusts if proper planning is involved and the planning does not end with death of the benefactor. This is an area of specialization for the firm.
