Minneapolis Tax Planning

Tax planning is a vital component of a successful business. At Smith Schafer’s Minneapolis office, we work with business owners to create a financially-sound tax plan so you can achieve your financial goals. 

Create a strategy. Gain value beyond the next tax return.

A tax plan should be a component of your overall financial goals. It lays out financial decisions, how to reduce taxes liability and increase income. Understanding new tax laws, deductions and credits are all important aspects of a tax plan.

Tax planning is a year-round process and a separate service from tax preparation. It is something a lot of business owners do not take advantage of, but we recommend because it may help minimize tax liability on next year’s tax return by planning ahead. It may mean meeting with your CPA on a quarterly basis, but generally the tax benefit is worth it.
