Frequently Asked Questions
When should I start tax planning for my small business?
Ideally, timing is everything. We recommend starting your tax planning mid-year (June or July) to assess your progress and again in Q4 to make any final strategic adjustments before the year ends.
What information should I bring for a first consultation?
Please bring your tax returns from the last two years, current-year profit & loss statements, and any major investment details. This helps us build a comprehensive roadmap tailored to your Denver business.
Is tax planning different from standard tax preparation?
Yes! Think of preparation as the rearview mirror (filing what has already happened) and planning as the GPS. Planning is the strategy used to minimize your tax burden before you ever file a return.
How often should we meet for tax planning sessions?
We typically suggest quarterly check-ins. This frequency allows us to keep pace with your cash flow and ensure payroll and compliance tasks are handled without last-minute stress.
Do you assist with federal and Colorado state tax compliance?
Absolutely. We specialize in navigating both federal requirements and the specific nuances of Colorado small business filing, including local Denver licensing and record-keeping mandates.
