Types of Tax Planning
Three General Categories
We have many strategies that are useful to eliminate taxes for each of three general types of income scenarios — Business Income, Investment Income and Liquidity Events.
The particular strategies that we propose and design into your planning are often selected based upon a variety of factors specific to your circumstances.
business income
Income generated by a business operation that you own
investment income
Income generated by a portfolio of investments
liquidity events
Gains from the sale of a business or a highly appreciated asset
Taxes Are a
Lifetime Drag on Prosperity
Most people think tax planning is about “finding deductions.”
Real tax minimization is about designing an optimized system — how income is earned, how assets are held, how gains are recognized, and how wealth is transferred.
We Focus On:
- Reducing unnecessary taxes today
- Improving after-tax compounding
- Coordinating entity and income strategy
- Aligning planning with protection strategy

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you replace my CPA?
No, we work with your CPA to ensure that they understand your your planning and they knwo how to prepare on your tax returns properly.
Is this only for high-income clients?
Tax prep vs tax planning?
Tax preparation involves gathering information to prepare your tax returns reactively after the fact. We do not do tax preparation. What we do is tax planning, which is proactive planning to minimize your taxes before you realize taxable income.
Do you guarantee tax savings?
The tax laws do not allow us (or anyone) to guarantee tax results without large penalties being imposed by the IRS. Instead, we provide you with a well-researched, written tax opinion which protects you from being penalized by the IRS.
Do you use aggressive tax strategies?
The tax strategies that we use are fully supported by the tax laws. We do not consider our strategies to be aggressive since they can be sucessfully defended if challenged by the IRS. Many of our strategies are not mainstream and some are our proprietary designs.
How often should my tax planning be reviewed?
The review and maintenance needs for your planning depends upon the particular strategies that your planning utilizes. We have a maintenance process to systematically review and maintain your planning as often as is needed or desired for your particular planning.
Does tax planning connect to my estate planning?
