What We Do

Make Sure You Are on Focused on State and Local Taxes

State and local taxes are ever changing since the South Dakota v. Wayfair, Inc. Supreme Court decision in 2018. Many taxpayers now find themselves having a taxable presence in states in which they did not previously have a requirement to file. States have been modifying their laws since this decision. It is crucial to make sure you are on top of your business and personal filing requirements.

We will help you implement strategies to ensure you are filing correctly, limit your tax burden and make the most of your financial situation.

We are both strategic and practical

State and local tax compliance is not just a compliance exercise. Decisions regarding where to do business, employ personnel, and locate fixed assets can impact your tax exposure.
