Tax prep vs. tax planning

Most people assume every accountant does tax planning. Most don't.

Tax prep

The scoreboard. Records what happened.

Tax planning

The playbook. Changes what happens next.

Real client

Omar runs a construction business in Queens.

His preparer filed on time, every year. Nobody planned.

$45,000kept over three years once he had a tax plan.

Where money like that comes from: a typical NYC contractor, year one

Entity and structure$7,850

Truck and equipment timing$6,340

Crew and sub payment setup$3,610

Fuel, tolls, and job-site credits$2,627

Year one, per year$20,427

The breakdown is our engine's de-identified average for an NYC contractor with $384K in revenue, not Omar's own return. Every client's numbers are different. Finding them is the job.
