I'm Kevin, a CPA with 35+ years of experience helping US business owners legally reduce taxes, solve complex tax problems, build tax strategies leveraging tax credits, and significantly improve cash flow. Most accountants are very good at telling you what happened last year. I think that's about 12 months too late. One of my genius-zones is identifying tax-saving opportunities before the year ends, while there's still time to do something about them. Think of me as your one-stop shop for proactive tax strategy, tax planning, tax credits, tax preparation, and complex tax problem solving. I'm also a former CEO, CFO, Controller, entrepreneur, business owner, author, and strategic advisor. I understand what it's like to sign the front of the check. Because I've spent my career building, buying, operating, and selling businesses, I look at taxes through a business owner's lens, not simply an accountant's. My clients often want to answer questions like: ๐Ÿ”น How can I legally reduce my tax bill? ๐Ÿ”น Am I using the right business structure? ๐Ÿ”น Which tax credits am I missing? ๐Ÿ”น What tax opportunities have been overlooked? ๐Ÿ”น How can I improve cash flow? ๐Ÿ”น What tax strategies should I implement before year-end? Examples Of Tax Services I Commonly Support Clients With Includes: โœ… Tax Services - Tax Planning & Strategy - Advanced tax planning, tax mitigation, tax reduction, and tax savings strategies - Proactive year end and multi year tax planning - Tax credit identification and prior year opportunity reviews โœ… Business & Corporation Tax Planning - S corporation, LLC, and partnership tax planning - Entity structure analysis and optimization - Reasonable compensation planning - Multi state tax planning โœ… Tax Credits - Employee Retention Credit (ERC) analysis and recovery - Research and Development (R&D) tax credits - Industry specific tax credits - Tax credit identification, analysis, and recovery โœ… Tax Preparation - Form 1040 individual tax returns - Form 1120 C corporation tax returns - Form 1120 S S corporation tax returns - Form 1065 partnership tax returns - Form 990 nonprofit tax returns - Amended and delinquent tax returns - Foreign owned LLC Form 5472 compliance โœ… IRS Resolution & Complex Tax Matters - IRS notices and tax disputes - Prior year and multi year tax issues - Accounting cleanup and reconciliation - Complex tax resolution โœ… Business & Financial Advisory - Fractional CFO services - Financial statement review - Cash flow and profitability analysis - Strategic business consulting - Multi entity accounting โœ… Software & Tools - QuickBooks Online, Drake Tax, Microsoft Excel, Google Sheets, Gusto, ADP, Xero, and Sage After 35+ years I still deeply enjoy my work because I genuinely enjoy finding opportunities other people miss. There's something incredibly rewarding about showing a business owner that the tax bill they thought was inevitable, is not!

Kevin Marshall. CPA. โ When Kevin first told me I might qualify for a tax credit, I said, "We pay our CPA a lot of money. I'm sure they already took care of it." Kevin cared enough to keep pushing. It turned out our CPA had not taken care of it, and we received a very nice refund check from the IRS. โž ๐Ÿ—ฃ Terha Marie
