STRATEGIC TAX ADVISORY

Consider the Tax Impact Before the Decision Is Made

Tax preparation explains what already happened. Strategic Tax Advisory helps you consider what may happen next.

Luma works with businesses and individuals to evaluate potential tax consequences before important decisions are finalized.

Forward-Looking Tax Guidance

Good tax planning isn’t limited to filing season.

A significant business transaction, property decision, entity change or distribution can have tax consequences extending well beyond the current year.

Luma’s Strategic Tax Advisory services are designed to help clients evaluate those implications in advance.

Different decisions can produce different tax outcomes.

Scenario modeling can help clients better understand potential consequences before committing to a particular course of action.

Entity Structure

Business structure can have long-term tax implications.

Luma can help clients evaluate entity choices as part of broader tax planning. See Business Entity Tax Planning.

Profit Distributions

How profits are distributed can be another important component of business tax planning.

Luma’s advisory services can help clients consider distribution decisions within their broader tax situation. See Profit Distribution Tax Planning.

Planning Around Significant Transactions

Major decisions shouldn’t always wait until tax-return preparation to be analyzed.

Where appropriate, Luma can evaluate potential tax scenarios before significant transactions occur.

This allows tax considerations to become part of the decision-making process rather than an afterthought.

Research-Backed Strategy

Lety’s approach includes continuous research into:

  • Federal tax legislation
  • State tax legislation
  • Court decisions
  • Administrative regulations
  • Changing tax requirements

The objective is to develop strategies informed by the rules applicable to the client’s circumstances.

Strategic Tax Advisory FAQs

Yes. Modeling future tax scenarios before major transactions is specifically included in Luma’s Strategic Tax Advisory services.

Does Luma provide entity planning?

Yes. Entity choices and profit distributions are among the areas included in Luma’s advisory work.

Is tax advisory only for businesses?
