Year-Round Tax Planning Will Save You Money
One of the biggest mistakes that small business owners make is waiting until the year is over to start making tax planning decisions. By that time, it can often be too late and opportunities can be missed. Involving an accountant in your bookkeeping and financial situation throughout the year will result in more strategic tax decisions that can save you money. Here are some of the ways that year-round tax planning can help your business:
tax credits
Receive timely information about tax credits that you qualify for as soon as they become available. Many businesses don’t apply for tax credits because they simply aren’t aware of them. Our year-round tax planning services will help you stay informed about tax credits as soon as they become available.
depreciation decisions
Use up to date financial information to make decisions about depreciation and asset purchases before year-end. Many businesses immediately take as much depreciation as possible each year without really evaluating the decision. We can help you understand the implications of taking bonus depreciation and section 179 depreciation. This allows you to plan your large deductions for years with greater tax liability, helping you save money at higher rates.
cash flow
Improve your business’ cash flow by being informed about future tax liabilities well before any cash outlays. Many businesses operate all year without thinking about potential tax liabilities. When the end of the year comes, they often find out that they did not put enough money aside for taxes. Let us guide you through the year and inform you of your potential liabilities before it is too late. Use that information to strategically plan your borrowing and repayment of business debts.
