Our Services

Tax planning and tax forecasting services for individual and small business clients is a core competency of the firm. Tax Strategies Judge Learned Hand said, in a tax opinion back in 1935: "Anyone may arrange his affairs so that his taxes shall be as low as possible; he is not bound to choose that pattern which best pays the treasury. There is not even a patriotic duty to increase one's taxes. Over and over again the Courts have said that there is nothing sinister in so arranging one's affairs as to keep taxes as low as possible. Everyone does it, rich and poor alike and all do right, for nobody owes any public duty to pay more than the law demands." Call us for a no-charge initial conference.
