Business Tax Advisory FAQs

Clear answers to the questions business owners ask before committing to year-round planning.

What is the difference between tax compliance and tax advisory?
Tax compliance is the preparation and filing of required returns. Tax advisory is year-round planning that helps you evaluate decisions before they happen, reduce liability, and coordinate tax strategy with operations. Compliance is reactive. Advisory is proactive.
When should a business engage year-round tax planning?
Advisory becomes valuable when income grows, structures get more complex, multi-state operations begin, or major changes are expected. Any business managing quarterly estimates benefits from ongoing planning.
How do you handle multi-state tax planning and filings?
We review nexus based on activity by state, determine filing requirements, model apportionment outcomes using state-specific rules, and monitor thresholds and rule changes that can create new obligations.
How are estimated taxes managed for business owners?
We calculate quarterly estimates using current-year projections, track actual results through the year, and adjust payments as circumstances change. The goal is to avoid penalties without unnecessary cash outflow.
Do you work with our existing bookkeeper or accounting team?
Yes. We can coordinate with your bookkeeping team to improve classification and documentation so your financial statements and tax filings stay aligned. If you want full service, we can also support that.
What happens if our business is audited?
We represent clients during IRS and state exams, respond to information requests, explain positions, and negotiate resolutions. Audit defense begins with the documentation and planning we build before you file.
Can you help with business acquisitions or sales?
Yes. We model tax outcomes under different deal structures, coordinate with legal counsel on purchase agreements, and ensure tax is addressed during negotiation, not after closing.
