Strategic Tax Planning Book Call →
For Business Owners Doing $250K–$5M In Revenue

Your CPA files returns.
I find you $15K–$50K+
in tax savings.

Filing a tax return isn't tax planning. The difference between the two is usually a five-figure check you're writing to the IRS that you didn't have to. Let's find what your accountant isn't looking for.

01 — The Reframe

Your CPA isn't doing anything wrong.
They're just doing the wrong job.

Most CPAs spend 10 months a year doing nothing for you, then 2 months frantically filing a return that documents what already happened. By April, every tax-saving move you could have made is in the rear-view mirror.

What most CPAs do

File your return.

Take the numbers you give them in March, plug them into the right boxes, and submit them on time. The job ends when the return is filed. They are reactive, compliance-focused, and paid by the form — not by how much they save you.

What I do

Build a plan that lowers the bill before it exists.

I work with you year-round on entity structure, retirement vehicles, deduction stacking, income timing, family employment, and 1,400+ federal, state, and local strategies. The goal isn't to file better. It's to owe less.

02 — What's Possible

For most clients, the savings look something like this.

Every business is different, but the patterns repeat. Below are typical first-year savings ranges based on revenue. Most owners are leaving 5-figures on the table simply because no one ever showed them what's available.

Revenue: $250K–$750K
$15K+
Typical savings from entity restructure, retirement plan setup, and missed deductions in your first full year.
Revenue: $750K–$2M
$25K+
Add strategic income timing, family employment, and Augusta Rule strategies stacked on top of the above.
Revenue: $2M–$5M
$50K+
Layer in defined-benefit plans, accountable plans, R&D credits where applicable, and multi-entity strategies.

Ranges shown reflect typical first-year tax savings I've seen across small business clients in similar revenue brackets. Your specific savings will depend on your entity, industry, income mix, and what's already been done. The only way to know your number is to look — which is what the strategy call is for.

03 — How It Works

Three steps. Most clients see savings inside 60 days.

Step One

Free 30-minute strategy call.

I review your last return and your business setup. I tell you, in plain English, where I see opportunity — and a realistic dollar range of what's recoverable. If there's nothing there, I tell you that too.

↳ This week
Step Two

Your custom tax plan.

If we work together, I build your written plan: every strategy that applies, the order to implement them in, and the exact dollar impact of each. No theory — only moves with documentation, citations, and IRS precedent.

↳ Within 30 days
Step Three

Implementation + ongoing review.

We execute together. Your plan becomes a living document, reviewed quarterly. The tax code moves. Your business moves. The plan moves with both — so the savings compound year after year.

↳ Year-round
04 — Fit Check

Be honest with yourself before booking the call.

This works for you if
  • ✓You're doing $250K–$5M in revenue and your tax bill is one of your three largest expenses.
  • ✓You suspect you're overpaying but your accountant just shrugs and says "that's what you owe."
  • ✓You're willing to make a few structural changes (within the law) if it saves you 5-figures a year.
  • ✓You want a CPA who is proactive year-round, not silent until April.
This isn't for you if
  • ✕You're under $250K in revenue. The strategies don't move the needle enough to justify the work yet.
  • ✕You want someone to file your taxes cheaply with no questions asked.
  • ✕You're looking for aggressive, gray-area strategies. Everything I do is documented and defensible.
  • ✕Your business is purely passive (real estate holdings, dividends only). The active-business strategies don't apply.

Founder, Beacon Accounting Solutions · West Bridgewater, MA

I started Beacon Accounting Solutions because I kept seeing the same thing happen to small business owners: writing five-figure checks to the IRS every April that they didn't have to write. Not because their accountants were bad — but because no one was looking at the bigger picture year-round.

Before going independent, I spent years in corporate accounting — financial reporting, tax compliance, business operations — but the work kept me too far from the people it was meant to help. Today I work directly with small business owners across Massachusetts and beyond, primarily in service-based industries. The principle behind every engagement is simple: the conversations most accountants save for tax season should have happened months earlier.

The Promise

You'll leave the call with a clearer picture either way.

I won't pitch you. I won't read from a script. The first 30 minutes are mine to spend reviewing your situation and telling you, honestly, what I see. If there's real money to find, you'll hear a number range and how I'd find it. If there isn't, you'll hear that too — and I'll tell you what to ask your current CPA instead.

Worst case: you walk away with a sharper understanding of your own taxes than you had 30 minutes earlier. That's the floor.

06 — Common Questions

The things people ask before booking.

I already have a CPA. Why would I need another one?+
You probably don't need to fire your CPA — but you might need someone doing the planning work that they're not. Most CPAs are tax preparers; their job ends at filing. A tax planner's job ends at owing less. The two roles are different, and many of my clients keep their existing accountant and bring me in for the strategy layer. We can talk on the call about what makes sense for your situation.
How is this different from what TurboTax or my bookkeeper does?+
TurboTax fills out forms based on what you tell it. A bookkeeper records what already happened. Neither one is doing forward-looking strategy — choosing the right entity, structuring retirement contributions, timing income, identifying credits. That gap is where 5-figures of savings hides every year.
Is the call really free, or is this going to be a pitch?+
The call is genuinely free. I'll spend it reviewing your return and identifying real opportunity. At the end, if it makes sense to keep working together, I'll explain how that works. If it doesn't, we shake hands and you walk away with useful information either way.
Will any of this trigger an audit?+
Every strategy I use is documented, defensible, and grounded in IRS precedent. Proper tax planning doesn't increase audit risk — sloppy bookkeeping and aggressive gray-area moves do. If anything, the documentation discipline of a real plan makes you safer than the average filer.
What if my business is brand new or not very profitable yet?+
If you're under $250K in revenue, the strategies generally don't save enough to justify the engagement yet — I'll tell you that on the call rather than waste your time. Once you're in the $250K+ range, planning starts paying for itself many times over.
What does this cost if we end up working together?+
Pricing depends on the complexity of your situation and which services you need (planning only, or planning plus bookkeeping/filing). On the call, once I see your numbers, I can quote you a fixed annual fee. The rule of thumb: my fee should always be a fraction of what I save you, otherwise there's no reason for either of us to do it.
What do I need to bring to the call?+
Just your last filed business tax return (and personal return if you're a pass-through entity) and a rough sense of your current year's revenue. That's enough for me to spot most of the obvious opportunities in 30 minutes.

Stop overpaying. Start planning.

30 minutes. Your last return on the screen. An honest answer to the question: how much could I be saving?
