Tax Planning
Year-round tax planning rather than a return prepared after the year is already closed. Jacobs & Newmark reviews entity structure, owner compensation, equipment and vehicle timing, retirement plan contributions, and the transactions a client is considering, while there is still time for the decision to change the outcome. The firm's position is that planning is the work and the return is the record of it.
What this covers
- Review of entity structure and owner compensation
- Timing of significant purchases and transactions
- Retirement plan considerations
- Planning around a transaction before it closes
- Recurring contact through the year rather than at filing time
When people call us about this
- You want to stop finding out the result in April
- A large purchase, sale, or transaction is coming
- The business had an unusually good or bad year
- Your circumstances have changed and nobody has looked at the plan
Any of these is a reason to call. We will tell you what the situation actually takes before you engage the firm.
