Advisory & Tax Strategy

Proactive CPA Planning — Strategy Built In, Not Billed Extra

Most firms report last year’s numbers. We help you plan the next one. Advisory means quarterly strategy sessions, mid-year tax projections, and real-time decision support — on top of done-for-you books, payroll, and returns.

CPA-led • Flat-fee membership • Delivered nationally (50-state virtual)

What You Get — Every Quarter

  • Tax projection + action plan(pay-in targets, safe harbors, and timing)
  • Owner pay & distributions(S-Corp salary optimization and cash-flow fit)
  • KPI review & dashboard(trends, margins, labor, and working capital)
  • Entity & structure guidance(when to add entities, states, or change status)
  • Mid-year adjustments(estimated taxes, payroll, retirement, and credits)

Advisory is included in Advisory and Strategic Partnership tiers. Foundation includes an annual strategy session.

Why It Matters

  • Fewer surprises. No more April shock — we project and adjust mid-year.
  • Better cash flow. Align payroll, draws, and estimates to the real plan.
  • Higher confidence. Clean numbers by the 25th and clear next steps.
  • Time back. We run the back office so you can run the business.

Plain English Advisory = proactive planning + guidance. Maintenance = done-for-you compliance (books, payroll, and returns). You get both inside one flat-fee membership.
