Practice areas

Built for the
long return.

We don't sell packages. We build a multi-year picture of your tax position, your entity structure, and the people behind both — then we make decisions that compound. Below: the tax work that comes up most.

I — Tax Strategy
Tax planning documents arranged on a walnut desk

Proactive tax planning for founders & principals.

Quarterly forecasting, entity restructuring, equity event modeling, and a posture that treats your return as a year-round instrument — not a March surprise.

  • S-corp, LLC, & partnership structuring
  • QSBS & Section 1202 planning
  • Multi-state & remote-team nexus
  • Estimated payments & cash modeling
II — Business Tax
Board reporting and forecast materials on a traditional conference table

Business tax compliance for closely-held companies.

Federal, state, and local returns prepared by the partner who knows your business — and the credits, deductions, and elections that compound across years.

  • 1120, 1120-S, & 1065 preparation
  • R&D credit & Section 174 capitalization
  • State & local tax (SALT) compliance
  • Sales-tax nexus & remote-team filings
III — IRS Representation
Audit binder, review sheets, and a brass magnifying glass

Audit defense & controversy work, handled quietly.

When a notice arrives — or an examination opens — the partner who built your position is the one who argues it. We answer the IRS so you don't have to.

  • IRS & state audit representation
  • Notice response & penalty abatement
  • Offers in compromise & installment plans
  • Voluntary disclosure & amended returns
IV — Wealth & Estate
Estate planning documents, sealed envelope, and leather folios

Estate, gift, & multi-generational planning.

Trust accounting, gift-tax strategy, and the long, careful work of keeping a family's capital intact across the third generation — when most of it usually disappears.

  • Trust & estate income tax (Form 1041)
  • Gift-tax strategy & lifetime exemption
  • Family office accounting
  • Charitable giving & foundation setup

"We measure success not in returns filed, but in decades of tax positions defended." — N. Hart, Managing Partner.
