Is it time to hire a tax advisor for your small business?

“I don’t need a tax plan – I’ll just knock it out at the end of the year.” 

Alex is a Baton Rouge native who runs her own dental practice. Last year, Alex put off her tax planning until the end of Q4, thinking she could knock it out all at once. But, when the time came, she found herself buried under a mountain of paperwork. While it seemed like a good way to cut costs, Alex is now overwhelmed and worried she’s missing crucial deductions. 

“How hard could it be to manage my own financials?” 

Blake just founded a small real estate company. Since he’s used to managing properties and closing deals, managing his company’s financials seemed feasible. But, he quickly realized that keeping up with tax laws and filing requirements is no small feat. Now, he’s bogged down in his own bookkeeping, wishing he would have hired a tax expert.  

“I just want to cut costs a bit.” 

Jamie owns a small digital marketing agency. Constantly juggling proposals, project deadlines, and daily operations, Jamie prides herself on doing it all. So, she decided to do her own accounting and tax prep to save a bit of money. After filing, she received an unexpected letter from the IRS, informing her of a significant tax liability – leaving her to navigate hefty penalties and interest charges. 

Alex, Blake, and Jamie each faced their own tax troubles that could have been avoided with a tax expert on their team. If these stories sound familiar to you…

Here’s why you, as a small business owner, should partner with a tax advisor:

Imagine having a tax plan that grows and adapts as your business does. Sounds great, right? A good tax advisor doesn’t just set up a plan and walk away. We create dynamic, customized tax strategies that evolve alongside your business. This means you’re not just reacting to financial changes but proactively planning for them. With a tax advisor on your team, you get tailored advice that keeps you ahead of the curve. We keep you informed and ready for any changes or challenges that come your way. 

2. Priority Access and Support When You Need It

Navigating the IRS can be like wandering through a dense jungle. But with a tax advisor, you get a guide who knows the terrain. We use research-driven, IRS-approved tax approaches to ensure everything is above board and optimized for your benefit. This means fewer headaches and more confidence in your tax filings. At Attracct, we handle the details, so you can focus on your business. 

4. Annual Planning Meetings for Focused Financial Goals

Ever wish you had a regular check-in to keep your financial goals on track? With a tax advisor, you gain a strategic partner dedicated to your business’s success. Annual planning meetings are a pivotal part of this relationship. These meetings are more than a chance to review your past year, they’re forward-facing. At Attracct, we work with you to set clear, actionable financial goals, identify potential growth opportunities, and develop a roadmap for achieving them. Our proactive approach helps you stay ahead of challenges and adapt to changes.  

5. Accurate Tax Filings to Avoid Costly Mistakes

DIY tax filing might seem like a good idea to save money, but it often leads to mistakes and costly penalties. A tax advisor ensures every detail of your tax return is correct. They handle everything from deductions to credits, so you avoid unexpected liabilities and stay compliant with tax laws. Our team, led by a dedicated project manager, conducts a thorough review of your tax situation to maximize every opportunity for savings to ensure you get the most out of your filing. 

6. Maximizing Savings Opportunities All Year Round

Why wait until the end of the year to start thinking about tax savings? A tax advisor helps you spot and seize savings opportunities throughout the year. Whether it’s a new deduction or a strategic financial move, they keep an eye out for ways to reduce your tax burden and boost your savings. At Attracct, we’re here to make year-round tax planning easy and effective.
