Why We Help

We are Certified Professional Accountants and financial professionals who believe the Employee Retention Credit (ERC) and other tax credits should be made more easily accessible.

MAKING TAX PLANNING SIMPLE

The current tax landscape means important credits, incentives, and stimulus programs are not reaching the right people. Strategic Tax Planning helps you stay focused on building your business while we take care of readily-available tax credits. We are committed to making sure entrepreneurs and accountants are able to access these programs.

Our Story

The Employee Retention Credit (ERC) and other tax incentive programs should be accessible for everyone. We make that happen.

We believe smarter tax planning should be available for any individuals who are committed to keeping more after-tax dollars in their pockets.

Recent years have brought a number of changes by way of stimulus programs, tax credits, and other incentives. We are dedicated to bringing full use of those programs to as many people as possible.
