Tax Preparation
Chandler & Knowles CPAs provides accurate and compliant tax preparation for individuals and businesses. Our team stays updated on evolving tax laws to maximize deductions and credits while ensuring error-free filings. We handle federal, state, and local returns for complex scenarios including physicians, real estate agents, and high-net-worth families. Our proactive approach identifies opportunities to reduce tax liability during preparation rather than waiting for audit seasons.
Financial Planning
Our financial planning services use the LEAP model to organize clients' finances into Protection, Savings, and Growth categories. We create customized roadmaps for retirement, education savings, and business succession by analyzing cash flow, investments, and risk management. Continuous monitoring ensures alignment with changing life circumstances while leveraging tax-efficient vehicles like Roth IRAs and insurance policies.
Business Consulting
We offer strategic business consulting for entity selection, financial forecasting, and operational efficiency. Our cash flow analysis helps small businesses manage working capital, while cost segregation services boost commercial real estate investments. The firm specializes in physician practices, dental offices, and real estate entities, providing industry-specific insights on structure optimization and tax-deferred growth opportunities.
Risk Assessment
Our risk assessment evaluates clients' financial vulnerabilities through insurance coverage analysis. We identify protection gaps in life, disability, and liability policies while advising on captive insurance solutions. For businesses, we structure buy-sell agreements and key person insurance to safeguard against unexpected ownership transitions. The process integrates tax implications to ensure coverage aligns with overall wealth preservation strategies.
Payroll Administration
We handle comprehensive payroll services including tax filings, benefits administration, and compliance reporting. Our system automates wage calculations, garnishments, and new hire reporting while ensuring adherence to federal and state regulations. Small businesses benefit from integrated HR support for PTO tracking and direct deposit systems, reducing administrative burdens while maintaining audit readiness.
