Tax Planning & Preparation

PREPARATION + STRATEGY

Our tax advisors can work with you to complete your yearly tax returns and to facilitate payment of quarterly estimates when appropriate. In addition, they are also able to assist you with your tax planning. While tax preparation is a necessity each year, tax planning can minimize the effect taxes may have on your overall financial situation to preserve your wealth. By working with Godsey & Gibb’s licensed tax professionals (CPAs) for your tax preparation services, they are also able to partner with you and your Wealth Management Advisor on tax planning and strategy for the current year and future years.

WHY IS TAX PLANNING IMPORTANT TO WEALTH PRESERVATION?

Tax planning is an essential component of the tax process, but is often forgotten about until tax season commences. There are many different financial moves that can have heavy implications on your tax liability, including capital gains and losses. In addition, life changes related to your job or family, selling a business, making a large purchase, or giving a monetary gift can also impact your taxes. Through our team approach, your Godsey & Gibb Tax Advisor will work with you and the rest of your Godsey & Gibb team to minimize any tax surprises and determine strategies to preserve your wealth.
