Frequently Asked Questions
How is tax planning different from tax preparation?
Preparation reports what already happened. Planning changes what happens, and nearly every meaningful strategy has a deadline that falls before year end. A return filed in April can only reflect decisions that were made months earlier.
Do you work with clients outside Montana?
Yes. We work with clients nationwide from our office in Billings, Montana. Federal strategy is identical across states, and we coordinate state-specific issues including pass-through entity tax elections, nexus, and residency wherever clients operate.
How do you charge for advisory work?
Advisory engagements are quoted as a fixed fee based on scope, with cost segregation studies and entity return work priced separately. Pricing is set before work begins so the value of a strategy can be weighed against its cost.
How quickly can strategies be implemented?
It depends on the strategy. Entity elections, retirement plan adoption, and accountable plans can often be put in place quickly, while cost segregation studies typically take several weeks and material participation positions require a full year of documentation.
