Who You Are | I'm starting a new business and overwhelmed with the options and decisions I need to make. What state, type of entity, with whom should I speak, and in what order? I need a clear path regarding what to do. I also need someone to help me plan for taxes and prepare my tax returns. | I've been in business a few years, but I'm working too much and my business feels disorganized. I'm frequently in a cash flow problem, and don't know where all of the money I'm being taxed on has gone. The business is managing me and I'm running in circles. I want to expand my business, but my banker or surety says I need a CPA to help guide me. | I've made some profit, and now I want to be smart with how I spend it by managing the impact to my business and taxes. I want to start another business, or enter into a new state. What is the best way to do this? What is happening in the industry that I need to be aware of and how can I best position my business? | I'd like to retire at some point and don't have a plan for succession. I don't know where to start, and I'm finding a lot of conflicting information. I need to position my business for sale, gift, or some combination. How can I do this cleanly and correctly, with limited impact to the business, all while also minimizing taxes and the impact to the overall operations? |
