FAQs

  • What types of business entities do you support with tax planning?

    We work with LLCs, S-Corps, C-Corps, and partnerships across Metro Detroit and Michigan, offering custom tax strategies for each entity type.

  • Do I need a CPA for my business tax filings, or can my bookkeeper handle it?

    A CPA provides in-depth tax planning, compliance, and audit defense—going far beyond basic filings. We spot savings and compliance risks that bookkeepers and software can miss.

  • Can you help with quarterly estimated taxes and payroll tax filings?

    Yes, we handle all quarterly and annual tax filings, including payroll, sales, and use taxes, so you’re never at risk of missed deadlines or penalties.

  • How can proactive tax planning lower my business’s tax bill?

    By reviewing your financials regularly, implementing strategies like retirement contributions and expense timing, and adjusting to new tax laws, we help you legally minimize taxes and avoid surprises.

  • What should I bring to my first business tax consultation?

    Bring your most recent tax returns, year-to-date financial statements, and any questions about your current tax situation. We’ll review everything and recommend a custom strategy for your business.
