Pre-sale tax structuring, succession strategy, and capital gains optimization. For owners planning an exit within 1–5 years who want to keep more of what they've built.

Who This Is For

Business owners planning a sale, merger, or transition to the next generation. The earlier you start, the more you save.

A CPA who has prepared returns in all 50 states and understands state-specific structures, advantages, and filing requirements. Compliance plus strategy — minimizing your overall burden, not just filing in each state.

Specialized service to reduce or eliminate Hawaii's 7.25% withholding on real estate sales by non-residents. One of the few CPAs nationwide who handles Form N-288C applications from start to finish.

Full Form N-288C preparation and filing, often reducing withholding to near zero and saving thousands at closing. Flat-fee service, available nationwide.
