Practice Areas

Tax planning & compliance for the full life of a client.

Framed Around Outcomes

Tax services are usually described as a list of forms. We prefer to describe them by the outcome they create: a return that holds up, a plan that pays back, a transfer that arrives intact, a filing your board can defend.

Below is the work we do — each engagement scoped to your situation, your entities, and the long-term plan we are protecting.

01

Individual Tax

A 1040 that reflects the full picture of your year.

Federal and multi-state individual returns for professionals, executives, business owners, and high-net-worth families — coordinated with planning, equity events, and investment activity.

  • Form 1040 federal & multi-state preparation
  • Equity compensation (ISO, NSO, RSU, ESPP) planning
  • Investment, K-1, and rental income reporting
  • Estimated tax planning & quarterly projections
02

Nonprofit & Exempt Organization

Form 990 filings your board can stand behind.

  • Form 990, 990-EZ, 990-PF & 990-T preparation
  • Public support test & functional expense allocation
  • Unrelated Business Income (UBI) analysis
  • Exempt-status applications (1023, 1024)

  • Beneficiary K-1 reporting & distribution planning
  • Decedent final Form 1040
  • Form 706 estate tax returns (federal & state)
