Before we engage in a formal tax planning relationship, we gather limited information from our conversations income, projections, legal structure and current planning to develop an estimated savings which will be finalized once we perform a plan.

Is this the only tax plan I will ever need?

Hopefully not. As your income grows to new levels, a new set of planning strategies are needed. While not typical, the most successful clients need tax planning every year. However, if there are no major changes from one year to the next, we may not need a whole new tax plan for the upcoming year.

Are there any other costs to the tax plan?
