Even after becoming a certified public accountant (CPA), I knew almost nothing about taxes. When I started, I hired an accountant and paid him $1,200 to file my return. A few years later, I came across a “tax planner”. He showed me I’d been overpaying in taxes by more than $16,000 per year with my current structure. He asked for $5,000 and I gladly paid it. That advice has gone on to save our clients millions of dollars in taxes, enabling us to hire high-caliber employees and create incredible products and services for our clients. As a result of that advice and lessons I learned along the way, I’ve realized the power of tax planning and that most accountants, CPAs, and tax professionals are lacking this knowledge—to the detriment of their client's financial lives every single year. We built Elite Consulting, P.C. to arm business owners with the tools and knowledge they need to actually realize the outcomes they are looking for, through offering advisory services—such as tax planning, CFO services, and wealth management—as well as providing tax compliance and full accounting service. If you’re ready to make the shift from compliance to advisory, let’s get started!
