Minimized hassle, maximized benefits
The U.S. tax code is nearly 75,000 pages thick and growing, so it’s little wonder that almost every financial decision you make will have a tax implication. With the right amount of planning, those impacts could be minimal – and sometimes even to your advantage.
Our tax services team includes more than 30 professionals dedicated to the planning, compliance, and preparation of returns, ranging from individuals and families to multi-faceted international operations.
Our business and tax consultants are committed to helping you minimize your tax obligations, maximize tax breaks, and achieve your financial goals.

Outsourced tax department
Avoid adding year-round tax specialists to your payroll and let your company’s accounting and finance team focus on critical business functions. Our tax team has the resources to oversee your day-to-day tax-related research, planning, and compliance.
Cost segregation services
If your company has purchased, constructed, or renovated a building – or if you plan to soon – do you know how to maximize the return on that investment? A “cost seg” study can uncover opportunities to boost your tax savings and increase the cash flow on your current or future real estate investments.
Research and experimentation (R&D) credit
We can help determine whether the R&D credit can be applied to your business research activities – potentially for massive savings. One client saved more than $700,000 through the R&D credit after the client’s previous CPA said they weren’t eligible.
Estate and gift tax services
Tax laws can be complex when gift-giving is involved, whether it’s a single item or the keys to a business. We can help you understand those laws and work proactively to minimize the financial impact.
