A Tax Return Isn’t a Tax Strategy

Proper Tax Planning and Strategy is an important part of your Financial Plan.

If you find yourself asking the following tax questions:

  • Am I paying too much in taxes?
  • How can I lower my taxes?
  • What tax planning strategies should I be considering?
  • Will I be in a lower tax bracket during retirement?
  • How much tax liability do my investments create?
  • Will a tax projection help me reduce my tax liability?

We can help you identify opportunities within the federal, state and city tax codes to lower your tax burden, so you only pay what’s required. We’ll also coordinate with your tax accountant or preparer when necessary.

Let’s Start a Conversation

Taxes May Greatly Impact Your Financial Goals.

Are you overpaying in taxes? Are you estimating your tax payments properly?

You are diligent about preparing your yearly taxes. You work with a tax accountant to find tax deductions and maximize your tax return. But what about next year? And the year after that? PDS Planning puts together a tax plan for you, well into the future, so you have a tax strategy in place to minimize your liability. A PDS Planning tax projection can help you avoid paying unnecessary taxes.

Reviewing Tax Returns

What did you pay in taxes last year? What about this year? We’ll examine your tax returns and discuss appropriate changes.

Build Tax Protection

What do your year-to-date results indicate for your next tax return? We’ll work with you to compare different tax strategies that may benefit you.

Analyze

How will your stage in life affect your tax bracket? We evaluate what tax bracket you’re in now, and plan for future changes.

Develop Tax Strategy

How can we change and control income and deductions? We’ll take advantage of qualified plan opportunities, like Roth IRAs and Roth Conversions, to help you reach your goals.

Implement

We have a strategy and plan, now what? We will integrate our recommendations with your tax strategy, all in an effort to minimize what you pay in taxes.

Know Exactly What You Pay Your Financial Advisor—And Why.

When creating a tax strategy and plan, it’s important that you receive objective advice that’s truly in your best interest.

Unlike other advisors who mask their planning fees with seemingly marginal percentages, or make commission from the sale of products, we operate from a core belief: our primary focus is to enhance your wealth, not ours.

That’s true fiduciary responsibility.

Read our ADV

Transparent Fee-Only Structure

We charge a clear fee for the time and resources it takes the do the planning work required.

Dollars, Not Percentages

We believe it’s unfair to pay more simply because you’re worth more. That’s what a percentage-based fee does. Our fixed-dollar fees reflect our work, not your net worth.

No Commissions

We don’t receive compensation for the sale of securities, insurance products, or other investments.

No Performance-Based Fees

Performance-based compensation creates an incentive for advisors to recommend riskier investments.

No Hidden Costs

We don’t pay referral fees to third-parties, participate in wrap-fee programs, or charge fees for work we don’t perform.

We Work For You

Some firms make money from referral fees. Not at PDS. The only person who pays us is you.
