35 Years Ago

After leaving my position as an executive with a Fortune 500 company to move to rural Colorado, the first thing I noticed was most tax professionals were practicing utter nonsense.  Their tax advice was nothing but timing differences, which do not save income tax but merely delay it.
 

35 years later nothing has changed.  We still run into the same issue.  99% of the tax savings devices most tax professionals use are timing differences masquerading as genuine tax savings. 

 

Methodology

To distinguish ourselves from the pack, and to develop services that provided more value than their cost, we set out to mine the tax code for genuine tax saving opportunities.

 

For decades Congress has been littering the tax code with tax preferences (and penalties) aimed directly at professionals and small businesses.  Preferences added specifically for favored constituents generally occur on the sly, without fanfare, often as an earmark. 
 

The tax code is the best system ever devised for a free people in a democratic nation, but it is a complex maze of preferences, penalties and regulations, and it gets increasingly more complex every year.  The complexity is so enormous we regularly have to explain code to IRS agents ... even to high level agents. 

 

We assumed if we located all preferences and compared various combinations in the circumstances they were intended to work in, and in various other circumstances, we could make a difference in bottom line tax liability.

 

Results
It took most of our 35 years, but we developed methodologies that methodically improve every marker we are concerned about ... tax liability is reduced to the legal minimum, audit profile is virtually eliminated and cost effectiveness is maximized.

 

We outperform other firms with rock solid tangible results that are easily defined and measured.  And we will gladly define them and measure them for you.

 

Or, you can wait 35 years for someone else to develop their own methodologies.

 

Rampant Incompetence

The difference between us and other firms may be due to any number of causes, but according to the IRS, a very likely cause is incompetence.  Click here to read the details.

 

Our philosophy of professional practice is to provide rock solid, tangible financial benefits that are easily measured and provide more value than they cost.
