Federal Business
We will work closely with you to understand your business operations and identify tax issues and strategies necessary to meet your business goals. The complexity of income tax laws offers many opportunities for tax savings or tax deferrals. Because it is your right to employ every legitimate means to reduce your tax liability, we focus our tax services on insightful and timely tax planning advice.
State and Local
State and Local Tax needs are constant, recurring events. The impact of state taxation on businesses is complicated. Managing risk and identifying opportunities within state and local tax laws can be overwhelming. This evolving area of the law has created uncertainty on all sides regarding when you are taxable, how much income is taxable, or what is and is not taxable. On the bright side, complexity creates opportunity.
Client Accounting Services
While the primary focus of emerging and growth business leaders should be on growing the business and satisfying customers, many find themselves spending precious time and resources on time-consuming and complicated administrative functions. These businesses often benefit from assistance with back-office functions, such as accounting and payroll, receiving accurate and timely financial information they need, and having their administrative functions performed in a cost-effective manner. We specialize in performing these accounting and payroll services and in consulting to improve these processes and enhance financial system capabilities.
Credits & Incentives
To attract and retain growing businesses, state and local governments provide valuable economic incentives such as grants, tax credits, abatements and more. When your company expands, makes capital investments or adds new jobs, LBMC in partnership with McGuire Sponsel will guide you through the economic incentives process. Whether your company is opening a new location, relocating or expanding an existing facility, the LBMC/McGuire Sponsel team can drive value from investment and growth.
Research and Development Credits
The research and development tax credit (commonly referred to as the R&D Tax Credit) practice conducts retroactive studies, current year engagements, and risk advisory services. Our professionals combine an understanding of tax law with engineering disciplines to maximize companies’ research credits and reduce their overall tax burdens. Your organization will be provided documentation to withstand the highest level of IRS and state tax authority scrutiny.
International Tax
Multinational companies and those considering expansion overseas face a growing number of international tax planning and compliance challenges. It can be nearly impossible to keep up with all the changing regulatory, legislative and tax requirements. Multinational businesses in real estate investment, distribution and manufacturing, technology and many other sectors can turn to our experienced team.
Individual
Historically, wealth was largely passed down from generation to generation. However, today we see wealth created in many ways and an increased need for professional assistance in the management of complex financial affairs for wealthy individuals, corporate executives and families. The LBMC Wealth Advisors team has significant experience in accounting & tax services, estate and trust matters, executive compensation planning, investment services, and philanthropic issues.
Preparation of Tax Returns
Our tax services include the preparation of federal, state and local tax returns for corporations, partnerships, individuals, private equity funded organizations, employee benefit plans, estates and trusts. Virtually all tax returns are prepared using what we consider to be the best available technology, allowing for increased accuracy and reduced turnaround time.
Tax Planning & Advisory
If your business is growing, consolidating, relocating or expanding facilities, merging or acquiring, there may be significant opportunities for state and federal tax savings. LBMC’s experienced specialty tax team can help you uncover, identify, qualify, comply and realize the benefits of tax credits, research and development incentives for your business activities.
