Families & Individuals

Whether my clients own their own businesses or are employed by organizations, they incur tax compliance obligations that must be met on a timely basis. I take a long-term approach by emphasizing effective tax planning throughout the year.

The key to minimizing tax obligations is to defer tax liabilities for as long as possible under the law. When tax liabilities are deferred, those funds can be invested to earn additional income, pay down debt, or used to make other purchases.

My clients include executives of large enterprises and non-profit organizations, owners of closely held businesses, and family groups with diverse family entities.

Perhaps the most important services that I provide for families and individuals are to help them to better understand their most significant financial transactions, and as a result, to make better decisions on behalf of themselves and their families. This includes making details projections and building financial models to help clarify various “what if” scenarios, determine the likely capital gains or (losses) to be realized, and estimate the amounts necessary to satisfy Federal and state estimated tax payment obligations.
