Specialty Tax Strategies for Business Owners

You're probably overpaying the IRS.
Let's find the money hiding in your business.

Most business owners qualify for powerful tax strategies their CPA never mentions: faster write-offs on property you own, credits for the taxes you pay on employee tips, payroll tax savings, refunds on import duties, even big-company payroll and benefits through a PEO. I find the ones that fit your business, show you the real numbers in plain English, and implement alongside your tax preparer. The review is free. The savings are already in the tax code.

Seven Strategies. Real Savings.

Seven proven ways to put money back into your business instead of the IRS's hands.

Cost Segregation

Own a commercial building or investment property? A cost segregation study accelerates depreciation so you deduct years of write-offs now instead of waiting decades.

Best for: property owners, real estate investors

FICA Tip Credit

If your team earns tips, you're paying employer taxes on income you never see. The FICA Tip Credit gives that money back, dollar for dollar, year after year.

Best for: restaurants, salons, hospitality businesses

Private Reinsurance

Turn the risks your business already carries into a tax-advantaged wealth engine. Private reinsurance lets profitable businesses insure their own risks and keep the premiums.

Best for: profitable businesses with $500K+ revenue

Section 125 Plans

Cut payroll taxes for your business while giving employees better benefits at no net cost to them. A Section 125 plan is a win for your bottom line and your team.

Best for: businesses with W-2 employees

Tariff Recovery

If your business imports goods, you may have paid tariffs you can get back. Tariff recovery programs refund duties you've already paid - money most importers never realize they're owed.

Best for: importers and businesses that pay duties on imported goods

PEO Services

Payroll, benefits, workers comp, and HR - handled like a big company, priced for a small one. I connect your business with the right PEO partner so you get better benefits and fewer HR headaches without hiring an HR department.

Best for: growing businesses with W-2 employees

R&D Tax Credits

If your business improves products, processes, or software, the federal R&D tax credit may already owe you money - no lab coat required. Small businesses can even apply the credit against payroll taxes.

Best for: businesses that build, improve, or problem-solve

Shavonda, the Tax Strategist

Hi, I'm Shavonda.

I'm a business owner too, so I know what it feels like to work hard all year and then hand a painful chunk of it to the IRS. When I discovered these specialty strategies - the same ones big companies use every day - I knew small business owners deserved access to them too.

My job is simple: find the money you're leaving on the table, explain it in plain English, and help you keep it. You built your business. You should get to keep more of what it earns.

What you get working with me: a straight answer on which strategies fit your business, real dollar estimates before you commit to anything, implementation that keeps your CPA in the loop, and no pressure - if the numbers don't work, I'll tell you that too.

Straight Answers

The questions every owner asks before we talk.

What does a tax strategist actually do?

I find specialty tax strategies your business already qualifies for but isn't claiming - things like cost segregation, the FICA tip credit, Section 125 plans, private reinsurance, and tariff recovery. Then I show you the real numbers for your situation and help implement them alongside your existing tax preparer.

How much does the Tax-Savings Review cost?

Nothing. The review is free and comes with no obligation. You tell me a little about your business, and I tell you straight which strategies fit and what they could be worth - before you commit to anything.

Do you replace my CPA or tax preparer?

No. Your CPA keeps doing exactly what they do. These are specialty strategies most general preparers don't hunt for - I bring the analysis and documentation, and your preparer stays in the loop on everything.

What kinds of businesses see the biggest savings?

Owners of commercial or investment property (cost segregation), restaurants, bars, salons and spas with tipped W-2 staff (FICA tip credit), businesses with W-2 employees (Section 125 plans), profitable companies with $500K+ revenue (private reinsurance), and importers who pay duties on goods (tariff recovery).

Find out what you could be saving.

The review is free. The savings are real. Most owners are shocked by what they qualify for.
