TAX PLANNING

Every penny you pay in taxes means less in your pocket. That’s less to fund your lifestyle, less to invest, and less to save towards your financial goals. To make things more complicated, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (TCJA) changed tax law dramatically, and traditional tax minimization techniques aren’t as effective as they once were.

Which expenses are still deductible? What credits are available? Should you itemize or go with the standard deduction? Even the most seasoned accountants are still catching up on the nuances of the new law.

If you want to keep your tax bill as low as possible, you need experienced advice. We offer comprehensive tax planning services and look at the whole picture to create a custom tax plan that fits your unique circumstances.

SOME OF THE QUESTIONS WE COVER DURING THE TAX PLANNING PROCESS:

Is your business structured in a way that keeps your tax bill low?

Are you making the most of low-tax income opportunities?

Can you qualify for additional tax deductions?

Are you keeping an eye on the tax impact of major financial moves?

Have you optimized your investments from a tax perspective?

These are just a few of the issues we explore when developing a comprehensive tax plan. We want to be sure you aren’t paying more than necessary to the IRS. Please feel free to contact us to schedule your appointment with a Pence Financial Group tax planning professional.

ALTERNATIVE INVESTING

Our trusted financial advisors at Pence Financial Group are qualified to understand the complexities of alternative investing.

All investing involves risk including loss of principal. No strategy assures success or protects against loss. There is no guarantee that a diversified portfolio will enhance overall returns or outperform a non-diversified portfolio. Diversification does not protect against market risk. Asset allocation does not ensure a profit or protect against a loss.

Alternative investments may not be suitable for all investors and should be considered as an investment for the risk capital portion of the investor’s portfolio. The strategies employed in the management of alternative investments may accelerate the velocity of potential losses.
