Strategic Tax Planning and Proactive Accounting for the Modern Entrepreneur.

The Challenge

As your business grows, your tax situation evolves from a yearly filing into a year-round strategy. Without a proactive CPA, you risk overpaying in self-employment taxes and missing out on incentives designed for business growth.

Common Issues

  • Self-Employment Tax Leakage: Paying the full 15.3% tax on all profits because your business structure hasn’t evolved.
  • The "April Surprise": Scrambling for cash to pay a massive bill because quarterly estimates were calculated incorrectly.

  • Section 179 Maximization: Utilizing the 2026 limit of $2,560,000 to write off equipment immediately.

Did You Know?

The 15.3% Invisible Tax

Most sole proprietors pay a flat 15.3% Self-Employment tax on every dollar of profit before income tax even kicks in. S-Corp elections are the primary tool to mitigate this.

The "Augusta Rule" Secret

You can rent your residence to your business for up to 14 days a year for meetings. The business gets a deduction, and you receive the income 100% tax-free.

Startup Cap

You can only deduct up to $5,000 in startup costs in your first year; the rest must be amortized over 15 years. Strategy matters from Day 1.

Expanded FAQ

When should I switch from an LLC to an S-Corp?

Generally, once your business consistently nets $40,000–$60,000 in profit.

Can I deduct my home office if I also have a storefront?

Yes, as long as the home office is used exclusively for administrative or management activities.

Should I buy or lease my next business vehicle?

2026 law favors buying due to the increased Section 179 limits, allowing for immediate write-offs on qualified heavy vehicles.
