Most accountants do a fine job recording history – the history you give them!  At tax time, they put the “right” numbers in the right boxes on the right forms, and file them by the right deadlines.  But then they call it a day.

 

If that is all you are Getting, You are Missing Valuable Tax Breaks!

 

To minimize your taxes, you need a plan.  You need concepts and strategies that leave more on your bottom line, without raising “red flags” or straying into “gray areas.”

 

Have you organized your business right?  Do you have the right benefit plans for yourself and your employees?  Do you have the right retirement plan to prepare for your future?  Are you taking advantage of all the legitimate deductions, credits, loopholes, and strategies the tax code offers?

 

How We’re Different

 

My name is Mark Allen, Certified Financial Planner™, Enrolled Agent, Master’s of Science in Financial Planning.  I started Allen & Allen LLP to offer a different kind of service. I don’t just record the history you give me.  I go beyond, to give you proactive advice and strategies to help you earn more and keep more.

 

The “other guys” settle for after-the-fact planning.  Too often, that means outdated information, nasty surprises on April 15, and no feeling of control.  I give you ongoing coaching and proactive solutions.  You enjoy total confidence knowing you pay the least amount of tax possible while you work to achieve your dreams.

 

The “other guys” offer “see you next year” service, with limited contacts except at tax time.  (And invoices for phone calls and even emails!)  I offer ongoing support.  That means year-round contact, support, direction, and accountability.

 

What’s the bottom line?

 

• I empower you to achieve your dreams. 
• I educate you in a language you understand – (we save the CPA gobbledy goop for all those lively CPA membership club meetings)  
• I make suggestions for increasing your business income.   
• I help you set goals to achieve your dreams.  
• I design and help you implement innovative, customized tax and financial strategies that minimize your taxes and your risk of audit while maximizing your take home income.

Personalized Proactive Tax Strategy

The process starts with your personalized proactive tax strategy.  Here’s how it works:  

• You start with a meeting.  I want to hear about where you are now, and where you want to be.  I ask a few easy questions about your current situation and from that determine your personal financial needs and how I can best assist you.
• I will review your prior year tax returns and go over your tax savings potential.  I’ll need copies of your past tax return and a little information on each business entity (S Corporation, LLC, Limited Partnership, etc) that you currently have set up.   
• We will go over the maintenance plans and determine which one is best for your needs. 
• We will complete a brief Tax Questionnaire.  This is where you tell me your financial and business goals and where your money currently goes.  The more information you give me the better job I’ll do.

The No-Stress Audit Protection Plan Specifics

Our individual tax plans offer our No-Stress Audit Protection plan which will cover up to the specified dollar amount in our preparation charges, penalties and interest. For example, as a preferred member you would be covered up to $500 of hourly billing to prepare and attend an audit. If any penalties or interest resulted from the audit, any remaining annual credit would be applied to those outstanding bills.

 

 

• The annual No-Stress Audit Protection Plan credit, if unused, does NOT roll over to the following year.
• You must be a current active participant of the No-Stress Audit Protection plan in order to receive benefits. For example, no protection is provided for a 2007 tax return, even if you paid for the audit protection in 2007, if you are currently not paying for the No Stress Audit Protection.
• Only tax returns prepared by A&A are eligible for protection under this plan.
• As long as you are a current active participant in the No-Stress Audit Protection plan we will represent you for any year under audit as long as A&A has prepared the tax return under audit.
• The No-Stress Audit Protection Plan can be added on to our base tax preparation service for 20% of the billed amount which will provide audit protection of up to $1,500
