Wexler & Hart is a boutique tax practice serving founders, family offices, and closely-held companies who have outgrown the seasonal preparer. We work small on purpose, so the partner who quotes you is the partner who signs — and defends — the return.

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
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
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.
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, 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.
