Case Studies

  • Jay was a successful financial planner who wanted to improve his business cash flow and tax liability. He approached us after decades of doing his own tax preparation and also trying some local tax preparers. As an entrepreneur with several businesses, including a portfolio of real estate, he wanted a hands-on approach to guide him to higher profitability. We optimized his tax structure to save him over $10,000 annually for the rest of his career! How? We linked his personal goals to his business, identified the best tax entity, and changed the company retirement and compensation methodology!

  • Michael and Stacie owned their business for over 20 years when the sold it to another operator. They needed to know how much tax they needed to pay so they could minimize the burden and plan for it. We worked with them for weeks assessing their multi-entity business portfolio, real estate, and personal financial plans. The result was in-depth tax projection scenarios providing maximum retirement contributions over $150,000 in one year, tax savings of $100,000 over two years, and a new holding-company business model for the future!

  • Steve was building a business and needed bookkeeping, tax, and business advice. His fast-paced entrepreneurial spirit required that we always "stay ahead" with his books and tax planning. With our on-time reporting, proactive tax moves, and hands-on training, Steve learned how to master his books and keep up with market changes! Now he has retirement, a valuable business, and services large commercial distributors and contractors across North Carolina.
