What many people don’t expect when they work with me — I am human too. We’ve all made our fair share of mistakes in this world; many of these mistakes helped us become the competent advisor I am today. Without these lessons, I would be left referencing textbook material and subjective news commentary, and that’s no way to run a business.

You don’t have a choice about paying taxes, but you can avoid making the mistake of overpaying them. While it’s hard to imagine anyone intentionally paying too much in taxes, the IRS estimates that more than one billion dollars is overpaid in taxes each year. That’s no surprise when tax laws change every year—even in years when no major tax legislation is enacted.

How much of that money is yours? Wouldn’t you rather see those funds in your bank account or put aside for your retirement or other financial goals?

Do you want to reduce your tax burden? Do you want to increase your assets? We can help!

We specialize in personal income tax preparation and planning and will identify the tax-saving approaches that apply to your situation. We work with you throughout the year, not just when it’s time to prepare your return.

Do you want to find out how you can reduce your tax burden?

You might be able to save on taxes by:

Restructuring your investment portfolio to produce a higher after-tax return
Shifting income to dependents in a lower tax bracket
Claiming appropriate home office deductions
Maximizing qualified plan and IRA contributions
Identifying all the deductions that apply to your small business

If you’re like most people, your taxes represent one of your largest annual expenses, yet often little or no planning is done to minimize your tax bill. Careful tax preparation and planning can free up money that you can use to achieve your goals. As personal income tax specialists, we will help you aggressively pursue every deduction you are lawfully entitled to.

Would you worry less if you had more money to save toward your goals? Discover how much more money you could be keeping for yourself and your future. Contact us today for a no-cost review of your prior three years’ tax returns.

Insurance Planning is an essential part of the total planning process.

Like a pyramid, a financial plan needs to have a strong base to be able to stand. This includes Life Insurance, Disability Insurance and Long- Term Care Insurance. It is my role as a financial advisor to help determine what insurance is needed and what is the right product(s) for your plan. Disability Insurance protections your income in the event of an accident or illness. Long Term Care helps with the expenses as we age for Home Health Care, Assisted Living and Nursing Home care.

Life Insurance is the price we pay for loving others. It is one of the most unselfish things we do for our family. It is a gift to provide for them, to keep them in the standard of living when die. It is a gift we give that we are not here to see, but we have the peace of mind to know that our loved ones are taken care of.

Would you worry less if you had more money to save toward your goals? Discover how much more money you could be keeping for yourself and your future. Contact us today for a no-cost review of your prior three years’ tax returns.
