Tax Planning or Tax Preparation

Grow Your Business by Offering Both!

There is a notable difference between tax planning and tax preparation: THE DATE. Tax planning must occur BEFORE the year ends, and tax preparation begins AFTER January 1st. There's a terrific marketing advantage to the tax preparer who understands how to profit from this concept.

On several occasions as a tax preparer I have received the "shoe box" from clients who have gathered financial information from all corners of their house or office. Their instructions, whether verbalized or not, are, "Please make it so I don't have to pay any taxes."

Typically my reply is, "I'll do all I can, but the window for most tax benefits ended December 31st — it's too late to do much about it. May I suggest that we get together after April 15th to do some tax planning for next year?" I let them know that the consultation is free and then attempt to set the appointment. Rarely does the client decline.

During the 10 to15-minute tax planning meeting, I will review their prior tax return and discuss several alternatives they may wish to consider. They relish feeling in control of their tax position.

Additionally, if they have a small business (which is becoming more common), I suggest that, for a monthly retainer, I would be glad to monitor their finances more closely to squeeze every possible tax dollar, plus identify other profit-rendering ideas.

This technique not only generates greater loyalty and REFERRALS from your tax clients, but it also ensures you a monthly income stream from bookkeeping revenues during the rest of the year.

Learn Tax Planning and Preparation

While tax preparation peaks around the tax return deadline, there is great money to be made all year long optimizing organizations to take advantage of tax benefits and exemptions.
