Tax Preparation

With today’s complex tax laws, a one-size-fits-all approach does not work. Your tax solutions should be as unique as your business and should be reflective not only of compliance with the applicable tax laws but should also take full advantage of all legal tax-savings opportunities.

Whether you have a corporation, LLC, partnership, estate, or trust, Lanier and Company is committed to giving you proactive tax advice specifically tailored to your needs. We work with you to gain a deep understanding of your tax concerns, keeping in mind the tax positions of all related parties. This integrated approach allows us to do what’s best for both you and your business, allowing you to reap the benefits of full compliance and good standing with tax authorities, as well as minimize tax liability and burdens both now and in the future.

By trusting us as your business advisors, rather than limiting us to just your accountants, you’re letting us into your daily operations and allowing us to make sure you have the financial data and expertise necessary to make informed decisions.

By trusting us as your professional advisors and a member of your team, you are enabling us to ensure you have the financial data and expertise available to make informed decisions.

When you evaluate the tax implications while you are making decisions, rather than after they have already been made, you are taking steps to:

• Minimize your overall income tax liability
• Limit interest and penalty payments
• Decrease the probability of an IRS audit
• Make the best business decisions
