Watter CPA is a small, local firm with a big commitment to our clients. We pride ourselves on delivering top-notch services that are tailored to meet the unique needs of each client. Our team is made up of experienced Certified Public Accountants who are well-versed in federal and state tax laws. We combine our extensive knowledge with a personalized approach to ensure that our clients receive the best possible advice and strategies for tax minimization.

Our Approach

We believe that effective tax planning requires a thorough understanding of our clients' financial situations. That's why we take the time to get to know you and your business. By understanding your goals and challenges, we can develop a customized tax minimization plan that fits your specific needs.

Our approach includes:

  • Comprehensive Tax Review: We start by conducting a thorough review of your current tax situation. This includes analyzing your past tax returns, financial statements and any other relevant documents. This allows us to identify potential areas for tax savings.
  • Strategic Tax Planning: Based on our review, we develop a strategic tax plan that is designed to minimize your tax liability. This plan includes a variety of strategies, such as maximizing deductions, utilizing tax credits and taking advantage of tax-deferred investment options.
  • Ongoing Support and Monitoring: Tax laws and regulations are constantly changing. To ensure that you continue to benefit from tax savings, we provide ongoing support and monitoring. We stay up-to-date with the latest tax laws and regulations, and we make adjustments to your tax plan as needed.

Services We Offer

Our Tax Minimization Planning Services include a wide range of strategies and solutions, such as:

  1. Entity Structure Analysis: We evaluate your business structure and recommend changes that can lead to tax savings. This might include transitioning from a sole proprietorship to an LLC or S-Corporation, which can provide significant tax advantages.
  2. Expense Optimization: We help you identify and maximize business expense deductions. This includes tracking and categorizing expenses, ensuring you capture all allowable deductions to reduce your taxable income.
  3. Depreciation Strategies: We advise you on the most effective methods for depreciating business assets. Properly managing depreciation can significantly impact your tax liability.
  4. Tax Credit Utilization: We assist in identifying and claiming business tax credits, such as the Research & Development (R&D) credit, Work Opportunity Tax Credit (WOTC) and other federal and state-specific credits.
  5. Income Deferral Strategies: We provide strategies for deferring income to future tax years, allowing your business to manage cash flow more effectively and potentially reduce current-year tax liability.
  6. Employee Benefit Plans: We guide you in setting up and managing tax-advantaged employee benefit plans, such as retirement plans and health savings accounts, which can offer tax benefits for both your business and employees.
  7. Inventory Management: We help you implement tax-efficient inventory management practices, including methods for valuing inventory that can reduce taxable income.
  8. Succession Planning: We offer strategies for business succession planning to ensure a smooth transition and minimize tax implications for both current owners and successors.
  9. Quarterly Tax Projections and Estimated Payments: We prepare quarterly tax projections and assist with estimated tax payments to help you avoid underpayment penalties and manage cash flow effectively.
  10. State and Local Tax (SALT) Planning: We provide comprehensive SALT planning to ensure compliance and identify opportunities for tax savings at the state and local levels.

I’ve been working with Ken and his team for the last twenty five years and they always do such a nice job on our return preparation. The whole office is super committed and helpful. In dealing with the staff I’ve always seen such a high level of commitment from each of their personnel. We’ve used them for dozens of client returns and for complex non filers to catch them up on old returns as well.
