Frequently
asked questions

What is a tax consultant?

A tax consultant, also known as a tax advisor, is a professional with in-depth knowledge of tax codes and expertise in tax minimization strategies. They may be tax accountants, Certified Public Accountants (CPAs), or even controllers or CFOs with strategic insights into how financial decisions and investments affect your taxes.

What is tax planning?

Tax planning revolves around activities that maintain compliance with regulatory requirements while minimizing your tax liability—the amount owed to the government after deductions and credits are applied. The three core strategies of tax planning include reducing taxable income, maximizing deductions, and utilizing tax credits effectively.

What is the difference between tax planning and tax preparation?

Tax preparation focuses on meeting the requirements of a specific tax filing cycle, ensuring all necessary forms and documents are submitted accurately. Tax planning, on the other hand, is a proactive and ongoing process designed to reduce risks, optimize capital allocation, and minimize tax liability as your business evolves and grows.

How does proper financial planning affect tax liability?

Effective financial planning can significantly lower your tax liability while reducing business risks. Conversely, poor planning often leads to missed opportunities, late filings, and errors, resulting in higher tax payments, penalties, and fees.

Is it expensive to hire someone to do your taxes?

Compared to the time, effort, and potential risks of doing it yourself or delegating it to someone underqualified, hiring a professional is highly cost-effective. Experienced tax professionals can identify opportunities and prevent potentially catastrophic mistakes, saving you money and stress in the long run. Even one small error could lead to substantial penalties or fees, often discovered years later when the IRS issues a notice. Peace of mind and long-term savings are why we encourage you to invest in expert tax services.

What records should I keep for tax purposes and for how long?

The IRS generally requires businesses to maintain tax records for at least three years; however, certain situations extend this to seven years or indefinitely. Essential records include receipts, bank statements, payroll documents, asset purchase records, and previous tax returns. Digital storage is acceptable, but always ensure backups exist and keep documents legible and organized.
