Tax Planning


The purpose of tax planning is to do a full analysis on a client’s life and business, and get them to a better state where they are legally paying less in taxes.

Tax planning isn’t just a matter of paying less in taxes. The goal of tax planning is to help you make smarter choices as to how you and your business are spending money. Tax planning enables a company to maximize its cash flow and minimize its taxes.

We will work with you to develop a plan to make sure you keep as much of your hard-earned profits as is entitled by law. These strategies include:

  • Making sure you get all of the deductions you deserve.
  • Utilizing advanced tax strategies such as 1031 exchanges, cost segregation, and many other overlooked strategies.
  • Creating a tax plan that is specific to your life and business.

Bookkeeping

 
Bookkeeping is the foundation for any company to determine its overall financial health and provides the basis for tax preparation and tax planning. Bookkeeping can answer many important questions such as “How profitable is my business?” or “Do we have sufficient capital for expansion?”

Mehdiani Financial Management knows that maintaining good books will save you money in the long run. Our bookkeeping staff closely examines your company’s transactions to make sure they’re properly reported. Good bookkeeping is the difference between giving away too much of your money to the IRS and taking legitimate deductions that will translate into increased profits.

What else can Mehdiani Financial Management's bookkeeping services accomplish for your company?

Financial Statements

Financial statements let you know where your business stands at any point in time. Reports can help your business address many important issues including inventory decisions, equipment purchases, mergers and acquisitions or adding another shift.

Financial statements are another important tool for tax planning purposes, and by using these reports we can help your business save money. Once we put together your financial statements, our professionals can discuss the financial health of your operation in detail and make recommendations.

The financial statements we provide for your company include the Profit and Loss Statement or P&L, and the Balance Sheet, which details your business assets, liabilities, and equity. These statements are key tools in tax planning and tax preparation. The bottom line is that financial statements help you make better decisions for your business.

Business Formation

Choosing the appropriate form of entity in which to operate a business is a complex decision. It depends upon many factors, including the owners' needs and desires and the particular characteristics and needs of the business in question. Federal and state tax consequences of each type of entity also play an important role; especially in closely held entities where the parties' combined tax liabilities should be analyzed as part of the decision-making process. In order to choose the proper entity, it is important to understand the characteristics of each type. 

In choosing the proper form of entity in which to do business, it is important not to overlook State taxation and annual fees. While there may sometimes only be a marginal advantage from one entity to another as based on the criteria above, State taxes and annual fees can sometimes end up being the determining factor in entity selection.

Mehdiani Financial Management can analyze the tax implications of the entity options available to you and determine the most advantageous business structure to form. We can also help you set up the entity and provide you with the tools you need to optimize its usage while staying compliant with Federal and State requirements.
