Frequently Asked Questions

Should I be an LLC or a C-Corp?

It depends on your goals. C-Corps are often better for venture-backed startups; LLCs provide pass-through taxation that works well for many businesses.

When should I think about tax planning?

Before you form, before you transact, and before you exit. Proactive planning is far more effective than reactive cleanup.

Do you prepare tax returns?

No. We focus on tax planning and structuring. We work alongside your CPA or tax preparer.
