Tax Planning and Consulting

Barry Fitterman has a number of programs geared for optimizing your company’s tax position as you’re presently set up. But, every owner or manager of a growing business has plans for the future. By devising new structures for greater savings in the future, we can help you realize your plans with tax-advantaged strategies. Accredited Accounting & Tax Services Inc’s tax services are directed primarily towards consultation and planning. Every business wants to reduce taxes, but to do it correctly isn’t always so simple. Often tax strategies that look good by themselves can be less sensible, even problematic, in the context of your whole business.

That’s why Accredited Accounting & Tax Services Inc. takes a balanced and integrated approach. We focus on your total business picture, not just your next return. Our tax consultants help you define the right overall tax position, designed to save you money in complex tax environments, while at the same time meeting your larger business goals. And since we often provide advice on many parts of a client’s business, we can see opportunities that other tax specialists might miss. The strength and sophistication of our in-house tax resources have put us in a position to assist in creative tax structures that resulted in business transactions occurring that were otherwise at an impasse. This has involved strategy around structuring of the actual transaction, as well as insuring that all available tax credits are captured.

Our tax services are designed to provide recommendations that complement our clients’ overall business strategies, investment decisions and product offerings. Keeping management informed of proposed and enacted tax law changes provides opportunities for you to consider and develop planning strategies, and to maintain an awareness of the tax environment in which it operates. Partnership taxation is one of the more complex areas of the tax code. We have the expertise to provide the proper planning and advice in this area. Our tax planning discussions will focus on:

• Reviewing the tax implications of your business activities and proposed transactions to maximize tax benefits. We believe we can add significant value not only by addressing the tax consequences of your ongoing activities, but also in connection with investments you make inside your portfolio.
• Reviewing the pros and cons of alternative tax planning strategies, enabling management to make an informed choice among alternatives with different degrees of risk. We emphasize not only the tax opportunities and costs, but also the business issues.
• Finally, and most importantly, bringing to management the best of our tax ideas, discussing frankly the risks and rewards of such strategies and assisting management with their implementation when the decision is made to proceed.
