Boulanger CPA provides coordinated business and personal tax strategy for franchise operators, professional practices, multi-entity businesses, and growth-focused owners who want proactive planning beyond annual filing.

Planning Areas

Entity Structure & Compensation

Review of entity structure, owner compensation, distributions, estimated taxes, and tax planning decisions that affect both the business and the owner personally.

Business & Personal Tax Coordination

Planning that connects business income, owner compensation, deductions, retirement contributions, and personal tax exposure instead of treating each return separately.

Quarterly Tax Awareness

Periodic review designed to identify planning opportunities, cash-flow issues, and tax exposure before year-end pressure creates avoidable problems.

Multi-Entity & Multi-State Planning

Guidance for businesses with multiple entities, locations, or state exposure where tax decisions need to be coordinated across the full structure.

California Tax & Sales Tax Awareness

Planning informed by real-world IRS, FTB, and CDTFA experience so tax strategy is built with enforcement risk in mind.

Owner-Level Planning

Support for decisions involving retirement planning, compensation, major transactions, succession considerations, and long-term tax positioning.

How Tax Planning Works

Step 1 — Strategy Review

  • Review current tax structure and recent filings
  • Identify risks, planning gaps, and opportunities
  • Clarify whether planning should be project-based or ongoing

Step 2 — Planning Roadmap

  • Develop prioritized recommendations
  • Coordinate business and personal tax considerations
  • Define scope, timing, and implementation steps

Step 3 — Ongoing CPA Oversight

  • Quarterly or periodic tax strategy conversations
  • Planning updates as business complexity changes
  • Integration with the broader CPA advisory relationship
Engagement model: Tax planning may be provided as part of an ongoing CPA advisory relationship or as a focused planning engagement when appropriate. Scope and fees are defined before work begins.

Pricing & Scope

Tax planning engagements are structured as fixed-fee projects or integrated into ongoing advisory relationships depending on complexity, entities, states involved, tax exposure, and implementation needs.

Boulanger CPA does not use open-ended hourly billing for planning engagements. Scope, expectations, and fees are defined before work begins.
