Whether you are an individual or a business owner (or both), you don't need to pay more than your fair share of taxes. But minimizing your tax liability is a skill that is both an art and a science. Many taxpayers don't recognize this fact, so they plunge ahead, without proper planning -- and quite often, they overpay. Don't make that mistake! If you have ever paid too much in taxes, and we all have, you should realize the benefits of having a trusted partner to guide you through the process.

Of course, you can -- if you choose -- use an accountant or tax preparer as a once-a-year resource. However, at Adam Shay CPA, PLLC we don't view tax preparation as anything more than a scorecard on the tax planning that was done throughout the year. As a strategic partner, we pride ourselves on being more than a boring once-a-year accountant or tax preparation firm. If you are tired of paying more than you should in taxes then you have come to the right place.
