Professional services

In a professional firm, the firm's taxes and the owners' taxes are closely tied. We look at both whenever a decision affects either one.

HOW WE HELP

Tax services for professional services firms.

  • Management consulting
  • Architecture and engineering
  • Marketing and creative agencies
  • Law firms
  • Owner-managed practices

  • Owner compensation

    Structuring salary, guaranteed payments, and distributions, and evaluating state PTET elections that can lower owners' federal tax.

    Tax planning →

  • Ownership and profit sharing

    Planning partner admissions, buyouts, and changes to profit splits before they take effect.

    Federal tax →

  • State filings

    Tracking where remote employees and client work create filing requirements for the firm and its owners.

    State & local tax →

Plan for the firm and its owners at the same time.

A new partner, a change in owner pay, or a move to another state can shift taxes on both sides in the same year. Bring us in before those decisions are final.
