Proactive Tax Strategy Services in Colleyville

Most people only think about taxes once a year, when there’s nothing left to change. By then, the year is already closed, and your tax bill is whatever it is.

In contrast, I build year-round tax strategies for Colleyville business owners, real estate investors, and high earners who want to stop overpaying and start planning. As a licensed Tax Attorney and a former U.S. Army JAG officer, I integrate legal strategic thinking into tax planning. As a Colleyville resident, I’m proud to work with local business owners who are ready to treat taxes as a financial decision, rather than a once-a-year obligation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Some frequently asked questions about my Colleyville tax strategy services.

What's the difference between tax preparation and tax strategy?
Tax preparation is filing a return for a year that's already happened. Tax strategy is planning before the year ends — and across multiple years — to reduce what you'll owe. Most accountants do tax prep. Few actually offer a year-round strategy. Tax prep is reactive; strategy is proactive. The biggest savings come from strategy, not from how the return gets filed.
Who actually benefits from working with a tax strategist?
Business owners earning $150K+, real estate investors with multiple properties, professionals with complex compensation structures (RSUs, partner income, K-1s), and anyone going through a major transaction (selling a business, large asset sale, inheritance). If your tax bill is significant and growing, the strategy will likely pay for itself.
When should I start tax planning, and is it too late for this year?
The best time to start is before the year ends (ideally by Q3 or Q4) when there's still time to make changes. But it's rarely too late to start. Even mid-year, we can adjust quarterly estimates, plan retirement contributions, and set up structures that benefit you in the second half. Don't wait for the new year to "start fresh."
What's an S-corp election and would it benefit me?
An S-corp election can significantly reduce self-employment tax for business owners earning more than they're paying themselves in reasonable salary. It's one of the most impactful strategy decisions for service business owners, but it requires specific income levels and careful implementation. We'll analyze whether it makes sense for your situation in our consultation.
Can tax strategy help with my real estate investments?
Yes — real estate is one of my specialty areas. Cost segregation studies, 1031 exchange planning, depreciation strategy, and qualifying for real estate professional status can all dramatically reduce tax liability for property investors. Most real estate investors leave significant tax savings on the table simply because their CPA doesn't specialize in this area.
Do you work with high-income earners and complex situations?
Yes. High earners and complex situations are where tax strategy delivers the most value. Multi-entity structures, equity compensation, multi-state income, business sales, and inheritance planning all benefit from coordinated strategy across years and across professionals (CPA, attorney, financial advisor). I'm comfortable in that complexity.
