Tax Services

The core of every reputable accounting firm is a knowledgeable and dedicated tax department. Our tax experts have the training and vision to help business owners and individuals protect accumulated wealth, optimize taxes and maximize income.

NCNP's tax consultants do more than merely determine how much tax you owe. The members of our tax group provide ongoing consulting services so that our clients receive positive results and exceptional advice when they want it as well as assistance with tax compliance when they need it. Our tax consultants are trained to be proactive in their approach to tax issues, looking for ways to effectively reduce or defer tax obligations. Each business or individual and every transaction is approached on a highly individualized basis, resulting in a strategy that is appropriate for the particular circumstances.

One of the few constants in our profession is change and ever increasing complexity. Our entire tax department utilizes an extensive, state of the art tax library with on-line research capabilities, which insures access to a wealth of federal and multi-state editorial and source documents. By keeping current on evolving tax developments, our tax consultants keep our clients up to date on recent tax reduction strategies and opportunities. We utilize the newest technology and most sophisticated tax planning and tax preparation software available to increase our efficiency and provide the utmost flexibility in planning options.

While most people associate tax services with tax return preparation (and certainly we are known for high quality compliance services), our focus is on planning. Areas in which we have assisted businesses and individuals include:

	Choice of Entity--Should a new or existing business be structured as a C Corporation, an S Corporation, an LLC, or an LLP? We help clients sort through the "alphabet soup" and find the most advantageous entity to suit their unique business circumstances.
	Purchase or Sale of a Business--We have assisted in structuring the sale or acquisition of many privately owned businesses, helping the parties achieve optimal tax results.
	Wealth transfer--Our innovative and comprehensive strategies conserve wealth and transfer assets to future generations while minimizing estate and gift taxes.
	Qualified Plan and IRA Assets--We assist clients with the selection of the most advantageous retirement vehicles as well as planning for distributions from retirement accounts.
	Dealing with Taxing Authorities--Our skilled professionals have expertise in favorably handling income, sales, and personal property tax audits initiated by federal, state, and local governments. We also have successfully negotiated offers in compromise and obtained rulings on tax issues from the National Office of the IRS.
	Valuation Services--Our consultants provide business valuations for estate planning purposes as well as for use in the sale of a business or professional practice.
	Planning for Life Events--We can help with major life events, planned or unplanned--saving for college or retirement, minimizing the tax consequences of divorce, evaluating options for long term care, and administration of an estate.

We believe that NCNP's forward looking approach to developing advantageous tax strategies and planning can help you achieve your financial goals.
