What we model

Strategy built around your numbers.

As a boutique practice, we model a stack of strategies against your actual income, entity, and goals — then show you the plan and the projected impact before you commit to anything.

Depreciation

Cost segregation & bonus depreciation

Accelerate deductions on real estate and equipment to front-load savings into the years they matter most.

Entity & income

Entity structuring & PTET

Right-size your S-corp, partnership, and state pass-through election so more of your income is taxed the smart way.

Retirement

Retirement & deferral design

Defined-benefit, cash-balance, and deferral structures sized to your income to shelter far more than a standard plan.

Do my entities work together?

Arjinder Singh
Multi-State Tax Diagnostics & Review

Narayan Rao

Anchors the firm’s business-entity practice — preparing and coordinating partnership and corporate returns alongside payroll-tax compliance, and representing the firm at physician-community events such as the AAPI convention.

Manju Shori

Prepares individual and business returns and handles new-entity formation — getting S-corps, partnerships, and LLCs registered correctly from day one so the structure behind a strategy actually holds up.

Prepares high-income individual returns and the trust and estate filings that sit alongside them — the detailed work of turning a year of physician income into a return that reflects the plan.

Nabanita

Tracks entity compliance and state filing obligations year-round — annual reports, registrations, and the recurring deadlines that quietly create penalties when nobody is watching them.

Accounting & assurance
Books clean and defensible

Leads assurance and financial-statement work for practices and closely held businesses — the reviewed numbers lenders, partners, and buyers rely on, prepared to hold up under outside scrutiny.

Who do I call between meetings?

The steady line of contact between meetings — routing incoming mail the same day, chasing the one missing document that would stall a return, and handling state registrations and entity filings across multiple states.

How it works

How an engagement starts.

No hard sell, no obligation — a clear, three-step path from first call to working with your named team.

1

Free consult

A 30-minute call — we review your last return and flag where you’re most likely overpaying. No obligation.

2

Modeled proposal

The specific strategies that fit you, a projected Year-1 number, and a scoped, flat fee — before you commit.

3

Kickoff

We coordinate onboarding, and you’re working with your named team — the same specialists year-round — within days.

Why high earners choose us

Built for your bracket — not one-size-fits-all.

01

Built for High Earners

Our entire practice is designed around physicians, business owners, and professionals with real tax exposure — not one-size-fits-all returns. Whether your income runs through a W-2, a K-1, RSUs, or a practice, we have built the plan before.

02

Strategy First

We plan before we prepare. Every engagement starts by modeling the strategies that fit your income, entity, and goals — so you capture savings ahead of the deadline, not after. The return is the last step, never the whole job.

03

Compliance Anchored

Every strategy is documented and defensible — built to hold up if the IRS ever asks. We pursue every dollar the code allows, never anything reckless, and we will not put your name on anything we cannot stand behind.

Common questions

Answers before you ask.

Yes. Our office is in South Barrington, Illinois, but we serve clients in all 50 states. Most engagements run virtually — secure document exchange, video strategy meetings, and e-signature — so where you live is never a barrier.

Most accountants prepare last year’s return. We’re strategy-first: before we prepare anything, we model a stack of strategies against your actual income, entity, and goals — so you capture savings ahead of the deadline, with the compliance discipline of a licensed CPA firm.

It depends entirely on your facts. Across recent physician plans we’ve modeled first-year tax savings ranging from roughly $110,000 to $375,000 — but those are illustrations from real client models, not a projection for you. On every discovery call we commit to finding at least $10,000 in opportunity, and we model your specific situation before you commit. Every figure we share is modeled — never a guarantee.

Transparent, scoped fees agreed up front — never a percentage of your tax savings. You’ll know the cost before any work begins.

We fully use what the tax code allows, documented and defensible at every step. We pursue what’s right for your situation — and we won’t put your name on anything we can’t defend.

Risk is on us.

Our Initial Consultation is a focused tax diagnostic — if we can't model at least $10,000 in opportunity for you, it's free. Our advisory fee is a percentage of the strategy volume we put to work, never a percentage of your savings.
