How we work with clients

Our process begins with an intake and review of recent returns and current financial statements. That establishes a baseline. From there we identify items that could affect tax obligations — for example, a change in employment, a sale of property, planned capital purchases, or retirement distributions.

We present practical alternatives, quantify the likely tax impact, and recommend a path you can follow. Communication is scheduled at regular intervals, and we remain available by phone or email to respond to questions during critical times such as estimated payment deadlines or when legislation changes.

Typical deliverables

• Written summary of recommendations and action items.
• Projected tax liability for the current year and estimated payments schedule.
• Checklist of documents and deadlines to minimize surprises at filing time.
• Coordination with payroll, bookkeeping, and legal professionals when needed.

Benefits of planning ahead

Planning reduces the chance of unexpected tax bills and helps preserve available cash. When decisions are made in advance, they typically deliver better outcomes than ad hoc moves at filing time. The key benefits clients report include:

• Fewer year-end surprises and more predictable cash flow.
• Reduced exposure to late-payment penalties through properly scheduled estimated payments.
• Improved choices about business purchases, entity structure, and payroll tax management.
• Better documentation that supports positions taken on returns and helps during any review or audit.

Local factors for McKinney taxpayers

McKinney residents and business owners face a mix of local and state considerations. While Texas does not impose a state income tax, other factors such as property taxes, sales taxes, and business franchise tax rules can affect planning choices. For owners with income or property in other states, reciprocal rules and filing requirements must be reviewed.

We maintain working knowledge of Collin County procedures and common filing issues that arise for local clients, such as property tax protest timing and local licensing fees that have tax consequences. Addressing these items early often reduces administrative burden later.

Who benefits most

Individuals and business owners who should consider regular tax planning include:

• Recent homebuyers or property sellers.
• Those with significant investment activity or stock option events.
• Small business owners approaching hiring, expansion, or major capital purchases.
• People near retirement or planning large distributions from retirement accounts.

Planning is also appropriate for anyone who prefers certainty over last-minute filing decisions. Early planning provides time to gather documentation and to implement cash-management steps that reduce the tax burden.

Fees and engagement terms

Our fee model is transparent and based on the scope of work. For simple individual planning, the fee is typically a flat engagement fee. For business clients or complex matters the fee is structured by phases, with a clear statement of work for each phase. Estimates are provided in writing before work begins.

All engagements include a written engagement letter that outlines responsibilities, timelines, and the information we will need from you. This protects both parties and keeps expectations aligned.

Common questions

When should I start?

Start as soon as there is a material change to income, property, or business activity. The earlier planning begins, the more options are available.

How often should I review my plan?

At a minimum, conduct a review annually. More frequently is advisable when major events occur such as a sale or a change in employment.

Will you prepare my tax return too?

Yes. Many clients retain us for both planning and preparation since this provides continuity and reduces the need to re-explain circumstances at filing time.
