Plan all year. Save in April.

Tax Planning

Tax planning is what separates a real accountant from a once-a-year tax preparer. We build a custom, year-round strategy to lower your effective tax rate using entity structure, retirement, credits, and timing — so April is a non-event.

In short

Tax planning is the year-round strategy of legally lowering your effective tax rate using entity structure, retirement accounts, credits, and timing. A small business accountant builds and updates the plan every quarter — so April is a non-event instead of a surprise bill.

SMALL BUSINESS ACCOUNTANT

What does a small business accountant do for tax planning?

A tax preparer records what already happened; a small business accountant changes the outcome before year-end. Through quarterly planning, an accountant lowers your effective tax rate using entity optimization, retirement contributions, the QBI deduction, depreciation, and income timing — strategies you simply can't apply once the year closes. For owners earning $150K or more, the savings usually pay for the planning several times over, and every position is documented and defensible. Dushyant Hirwani Accounting builds a custom written strategy, meets with you quarterly, and coordinates with your financial advisor — serving small businesses across all 50 states remotely, with transparent fixed-fee pricing.

Tax Planning is one part of full-service small business accounting. Most clients pair it with monthly bookkeeping and year-round tax planning so their books, payroll, and taxes all stay in sync with one accountant.

FAQ

Questions about tax planning

Still curious? Reach out — we reply within 24 hours.

Is tax planning worth it for me?
If you're over ~$150K of income or own a business doing $250K+, the savings typically pay for the planning many times over.
When should we start planning?
Earlier is always better. October–December is the busiest window, but a true plan runs year-round.
Will this conflict with my financial advisor?
No — we coordinate. Our job is tax efficiency; theirs is investment strategy. They complement each other.
What kind of savings should I expect?
Varies wildly by situation. Most business-owner clients see 10–25% reductions in effective tax rate within 12 months.
