Tax Strategy & Planning

j
Effective tax planning happens throughout the year—not just during tax season. We work proactively with individuals and businesses to develop strategies that reduce taxes and support long-term financial goals.

Pricing

Tax strategy and planning services are $175/hour with our tax savings guarantee.

What's Included in Our Tax Strategy and Planning Services?

Year-End Tax Planning

Before the year closes, we review your income and expenses to identify moves — deferring income, accelerating deductions, harvesting losses — that can meaningfully lower your tax bill while there’s still time to act.

Estimated Tax Planning

We calculate and schedule your quarterly estimated payments based on projected income, helping you avoid underpayment penalties and unwelcome surprises at filing time.

Entity Selection Analysis

Choosing the right business structure affects everything from your tax rate to your liability exposure. We compare sole proprietorship, LLC, S corp, and C corp options to find the structure that fits your goals.

S Corporation Election Planning

If an S corp election could reduce your self-employment tax burden, we walk through the numbers with you and handle the election process to make sure it’s done correctly and on time.

Retirement Contribution Strategies

We help you choose and maximize retirement accounts — from SEP-IRAs to solo 401(k)s — that lower your current tax liability while building long-term savings.

Capital Gain Planning

Timing the sale of investments or property can significantly change your tax outcome. We help you plan around holding periods, offsetting gains, and other strategies to keep more of your returns.

Income Timing Strategies

Shifting when income is received or expenses are paid can move you into a lower bracket or unlock additional deductions. We help you plan the timing that works best for your situation.

Business Expense Optimization

We review your business spending to make sure you’re capturing every deductible expense while structuring purchases and expenditures in the most tax-efficient way.

Tax Projection Meetings

Throughout the year, we meet with you to project your tax liability based on current numbers, so there are no surprises when it’s time to file — and enough runway to adjust course if needed.

New Business Tax Consulting

Starting a business brings a fresh set of tax decisions. We guide new business owners through entity setup, recordkeeping, and early tax strategy to start off on solid footing.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does business tax preparation cost?
Business tax returns start at $650. The final price depends on the complexity of your return — for example, your entity type, number of shareholders or partners, multi-state activity, or the condition of your books.
What entity types do you prepare returns for?
We prepare returns for sole proprietorships, single- and multi-member LLCs, general and limited partnerships, S corporations, and C corporations.
What documents do I need to bring to my business tax appointment?
Generally, you’ll need your prior-year business tax return, year-end financial statements (profit and loss, balance sheet), payroll summaries, asset purchase records, and any 1099s or K-1s issued or received. We’ll provide a personalized checklist once we understand your business.
Do you prepare tax returns for businesses that operate in more than one state?
Yes. We regularly prepare multi-state business returns for companies with operations, employees, or sales across state lines.
Can you help with estimated tax payments throughout the year?
Yes. We calculate quarterly estimated tax payments based on your business’s projected income, helping you avoid underpayment penalties and cash flow surprises.
Do you only work with businesses in South Carolina?
We’re based in the Upstate and Midlands of South Carolina and primarily serve businesses throughout the state, though we’re happy to discuss your needs regardless of location.

Nicholas was wonderful to work with. He sent links to share documents that easily went through and kept his word on when the work would be finished and approximately how much it would cost. I will use his services again.

Nick was a great help explaining both simple everyday tax questions to the more complex issues related to a family death inheritance. His patience and efforts that went into making sure we were well informed and making sure we would get the best refund possible is the reason I give him 5 stars.
