Tax planning is a tool that doesn't end with the close of the calendar year. There are many ways to continue to manage your tax strategies throughout the year.
By working with us as your tax consultant, we will sit down with you and compare last year's return against this year and look for ways to manage income and expenses, credits and deductions to ensure your return is accurate and working for you.
Depreciation of assets is a way to plan for timing of expenses. For an example, a startup business, such as a tax firm, purchases a great deal of assets in the first year of operation.

You have options to accelerate depreciation or slow it down depending on your specific need.
