Going through the tax planning process with Chris and Ying was an eye-opener. I had no idea how much money I was leaving on the table until they walked me through it. They took the time to really understand my situation and built a long-term strategy that gives me confidence I’ll save on taxes each year.

Chris and Ying helped me save tens of thousands on my taxes! My accountants in the past just filed my tax returns. I didn't even realize tax planning was a thing. I appreciate they took they time to educate me on each strategy and estimated how it would effect my taxes.

Reduce Your Taxes with Lakemont’s 10 Pillars of Tax ReductionTM

1. 360° Review of Finances

Taxes touch every part of your life—not just your business. We perform a comprehensive review of your business and personal finances. This helps you identify hundreds of relevant factors that could reduce your taxes.

2. Manage Tax Brackets

You can proactively manage your tax bracket by shifting income and expenses across different years, entities, and individuals. Don’t be passive; take control of your finances.

3. Dodge Hidden Taxes

The more income you earn, the more hidden taxes lie waiting for you. Once you understand where the pitfalls are, you can develop a plan to avoid them.

4. Optimize Business Structure

The wrong business structure can cost you thousands in taxes. We outline multiple scenarios to determine the which structure is best for you.

5. Balance Income Streams

Earning money through real estate rentals, investments, and more all have different tax implications. Balancing income streams allows you to maximize your tax benefits.

6. Maximize Deductions

Maximizing deductions is more than expensing your car or home office. We help you identify deductions that others miss.

7. Apply Tax Loopholes and Credits

Congress has created hundreds of loopholes and tax credits to further policy decisions. Your accountant or software won't take full advantage of them without proactive research.

8. Invest Tax Efficiently

Go beyond tax loss harvesting and basic Roth conversions. Apply advanced tax strategies to defer income, mitigate capital gains, and maximize your after-tax income.

9. Manage Life Transitions

Getting married, sending kids to college, and inheriting money represent both opportunities and challenges. Absent proactive tax advice, you will pay more taxes than necessary.

10. Maintain Good Tax Hygiene

Follow the right patterns to file on-time, keep good records, and estimate quarterly payments. We help you avoid IRS red flags and minimize your chance of an audit.
