Our Process
1. Initial Discovery Consultation
We kick things off with a 30-45 minute discovery call to get a clear understanding of your goals and current situation. We’ll review any key documents, like prior-year tax returns or financial statements, and lay out the next steps. After the call, we’ll send you a detailed proposal outlining the scope of work and fees.
2. Onboarding and Setup
Once we’re ready to move forward, you’ll be introduced to your account manager. Together, we’ll go over the transfer of information, communication preferences, and set expectations for timelines and deliverables. This ensures a smooth start to our partnership.
3. Strategy Development
We’ll create a custom tax and accounting plan tailored to your specific needs. Using advanced software and insights, we’ll design strategies that align with your goals and maximize your tax savings. Depending on your investment structure, this could include strategies like cost segregation or 1031 exchanges.
4. Implementation
With the strategy in place, we begin putting it into action. Our team will guide you through applying tax strategies, setting up your accounting system, and ensuring all documentation is properly prepared. We make sure everything is compliant and ready for audits.
5. Ongoing Support
As your portfolio grows and changes, we continue to work with you. You’ll receive regular financial reviews, access to real-time dashboards, and updates on new tax-saving opportunities. We’ll adjust your strategy as needed to keep you on track.
