Situation

A founder in his 40s ran a professional services firm doing $1.4M in revenue, $620K in net profit. He had worked with the same CPA for over a decade, a smart, reliable preparer who filed returns on time, every time. The relationship was loyal, comfortable, and quietly costing him six figures a year.

02
Strategy

We re-ran his last three years through a strategy lens rather than a compliance lens. We re-examined his S-Corp election, his owner compensation against the §199A deduction, his retirement plan capacity, and a stack of legitimate business expenses that had been categorized as personal for a decade.

03
Outcome

$132,000 recovered in the first 12 months, before any new strategy was even deployed. A year-two strategy memo identified another estimated $90K in annual savings going forward, primarily through entity restructuring and a defined benefit plan.
