Tax Planning

Tax planning for small businesses

Tax prep looks backward. Tax planning looks forward — finding legal ways to reduce what you owe before the year closes, instead of scrambling in April.

Tax forms and financial paperwork on a desk

What's included

  • Proactive, year-round planning — not a once-a-year scramble
  • Deduction and credit review specific to your business structure
  • Entity structure guidance — LLC, S-corp and similar [[NEEDS: confirm how far this goes]]
  • Estimated quarterly tax calculations
  • Coordination with the CPA who files your return — we plan, they file

How it works

01

Review

We look at your current structure, income and expenses.

02

Plan

We identify the opportunities specific to your situation, while the year is still open and the decisions are still yours to make.

03

Execute

We help you put the plan in place and keep it current as the business changes.

04

Hand off at filing

When it is time to file, clean books and a clear plan go to the CPA we refer you to. We do not file returns ourselves.

Common questions

We plan. We don't file.

Spark handles forward-looking tax strategy — timing, estimated payments, entity structure, and the decisions that are still open while the year is running. Filing is a separate discipline, and we don't do it in-house.

When it's time to file, we refer you to a CPA we work with and hand over books that are already clean and current.

Earlier than most people do. Planning only works while the year is still open — once you are filing, the decisions have already been made for you.

If you are partway through the year and have not looked at it yet, that is a reason to start now rather than a reason to wait.
