Tax Return Preparation & Tax Planning
One of the services we provide to dental professionals is tax preparation and planning. Let us prepare your year-end personal or corporate income tax returns and work with you to plan for the future. Tax planning can help you prepare for future tax obligations and avoid obstacles that could halt your dental practice’s financial success.
The process begins with our tax experts reviewing your accounting reports from throughout the year. We then project your liabilities based on factors including prior year results, practice trends, and other major financial events in your practice. This is a service we offer one to three times per year on average.
