The overall financial health and success of your auto repair business will be greatly improved through integrated planning that considers your current circumstances, your long-term goals, and the opportunities that are available to you. With KWB’s Integrated Planning for the Future, you’ll achieve the best outcomes possible for your business and personal finances.

Integrated tax planning involves looking at all the many different pieces of your personal and business information and designing a plan to optimize your tax situation for current, past, and future years. Some of the things we consider are:

  • Income of the business
  • Draws out of the business this year
  • Desired draws for future years
  • Special tax balances of the company such as capital dividends or refundable tax amounts
  • The personal tax situation of all shareholders and key individuals including their other income, deductions, and credits
  • Cashflow of the business
  • Cashflow of the individuals
  • Special tax planning opportunities that may exist

 

Integrated financial planning starts with the tax planning that has been done, and then utilizes current and future financial information along with our knowledge of your business to create strategies to improve your profit.

A thorough understanding of your unique circumstances and a combined personal and business financial picture helps us determine the best way for you to structure your finances and withdraw funds from your company while achieving optimized tax savings.
