Entity Structure Optimization
Operating under the wrong business entity could be costing you thousands in unnecessary taxes. We analyze your situation and structure your business for maximum tax efficiency and liability protection.
Are You Using the Right Entity?
The structure you chose when you started your business may not be the best one for where you are today. We help:
Sole Proprietors & LLCs
Transitioning high-earning LLCs to S-Corporations to eliminate massive self-employment tax burdens and optimize owner compensation.
Partnerships
Structuring multi-owner businesses to ensure fair tax allocations, proper buy-sell agreements, and efficient profit distributions.
Real Estate Investors
Creating multi-entity structures (like holding companies and operating LLCs) to isolate risk and maximize depreciation benefits.
Costly Entity Mistakes We Fix
Overpaying Self-Employment Tax
Many LLC owners making over $80,000 net profit are paying 15.3% self-employment tax on every dollar. We help you elect S-Corp status to legally bypass this on a portion of your income.
Commingling Funds & Piercing the Veil
Treating your LLC bank account like a personal piggy bank destroys your liability protection. We help establish clean accounting practices to maintain your corporate shield.
Holding Appreciating Assets in a C-Corp
Putting real estate or appreciating investments inside a C-Corporation can lead to double taxation upon sale. We restructure these to pass-through entities.
Missing the QBI Deduction
The 20% Qualified Business Income deduction has complex rules based on your entity type and income level. We structure your business to maximize this massive deduction before it expires.
