Growing businesses need more than annual tax prep. They need strategic guidance that protects profits, maximizes cash flow, and positions every transaction for success.
What we do
What is Strategic Tax Advisory?
Strategic tax advisory goes far beyond compliance and annual filings. While traditional CPAs focus on historical reporting, strategic tax counsel anticipates your business moves and structures them for optimal tax outcomes.
Think of it as the difference between a rearview mirror and GPS navigation. Traditional tax prep tells you where you've been. Strategic tax advisory shows you the most efficient route to where you're going—whether that's rapid growth, multi-state expansion, or a profitable exit.
For growing businesses, this means:
Proactive planning that saves money before decisions are made
Transaction structuring that maximizes after-tax value
Year-round guidance that keeps you compliant and competitive
Industry-specific strategies that fit your unique business model
After interviewing seven other attorneys, I decided to work with Laura Gieseke on a small business acquisition…she not only had great deal experience but just ‘got it.’”
Laura and the SMB Law Group helped navigate a difficult M&A deal that entailed not-ordinary tax and non-compete treatments.”
