Tax planning and compliance involve more than simply filing a tax return on time. With the current tax climate involving governments wanting to increase tax revenues in an era of budget deficits, taxpayers must be proactive in order to minimize their tax burden. This is where Bauknight Pietras & Stormer can help.

We work with privately held businesses and their owners, as well as wealthy families and individuals, not only on tax return preparation, but also in developing federal, state and local tax planning strategies to assist clients in achieving current and future tax savings. Whether a client has five employees or 5,000, is a new business or an established organization, we help keep clients in compliance with current tax laws.

Bauknight Pietras & Stormer provides tax planning strategies on matters such as:

• Acquisitions and divestitures
• Estate and gift taxes
• Fringe benefits
• Management compensation packages
• Reorganizations
• Retirement plans
• Succession in family businesses
• Tax credits

Bauknight Pietras & Stormer goes beyond merely preparing clients’ tax returns by keeping abreast of developments in the tax law, educating our clients on such changes, and advising our clients on ways to use the changes to their advantage.

Along with our hands-on approach to tax planning, the experienced, multi-disciplinary tax planning team at Bauknight Pietras & Stormer undergoes continuous professional development. Not only do we have a long-standing reputation as accountants, but four of our shareholders are former senior managers of “Big Four” accounting firms and several of our partners and advisors are nationally recognized in their areas of practice.
