Case Studies

Financial Advisor Client Stock Photo

Carol was a crypto wizard. She knew how the platforms worked, had a sizable portfolio, and was active in crypto governance. But she still needed a financial advisor to help her create her retirement plan. The advisor wasn’t sure how air drops and staking worked and that is where we came in. 

We worked with Carol to get CSV exports of her crypto transactions to ensure basis was tracked and the correct tax treatment was used on the airdrops and staking.

Total Fee: $1850. Client opted to only pay for tax preparation with W2 income, numerous crypto transactions, and brokerage account with no state income tax. 

Sally S Corp

Sally was in year 3 of her consulting business and kept hearing about S Corps so she asked her financial advisor Doug. Doug thought they were a great idea but wasn’t sure how exactly the taxes would change. Rather than run the calculations themselves, they referred the client to us to assist with the analysis. 

We performed reasonable compensation analysis and built tax projections for Schedule C taxation versus S-Corp. The analysis revealed she was in the sweet spot where it would make sense for her business after analyzing QBI phaseouts, FICA, additional tax compliance fees, and her local tax rules. We set her up with payroll and bookkeeping solutions as well as a tax compliance package to ensure the proper returns with the IRS and her state are filed and will continue to be filed. We also worked with her advisor to recommend a Solo 401(k) to take advantage of automated contribution credits without needing the client to actually make the contribution.

Total Fee: $1,495 for S-Corp analysis and retirement plan set up. Client selected $295/month package including bookkeeping, tax filing (1120-S, 1040), assistance with IRS Notices, and unlimited “quick questions” support.

Roger, a 55-year-old engineering manager at Apple, just stepped away from their work to decompress and potentially retire. Chris, their advisor, knew this was a great opportunity for a Roth conversion so he reached out to us for the analysis. We ran detailed tax scenarios using their eMoney Cash Flow Reports showing their advisor the benefits of consulting part-time and helped them decide on an ideal amount to Roth convert to avoid costly RMD’s while being mindful of expensive IRMAA penalties. 

After collaborating with their advisor, we ran a joint meeting with the client and their advisor to go over the implications and make smart decisions about their retirement plan.

Total Fee: $1,250

de Hooch's House

Pieter de Hooch was a renowned painter but he was uneasy having so much money in the stock market. He wanted something real, a real asset.

de Hooch identified a property he wanted to buy for “house hacking”, a term he learned about on a podcast, and asked his advisor what she thought. The advisor was cautiously optimistic but wasn’t sure of the actual take home income and taxes.

We were hired to figure that out, so we analyzed de Hooch’s tax return and worked through an after-tax projection. Then we presented this to the advisor while explaining passive activity losses and how depreciation can boost their real return. 

Ultimately the client and their advisor decided to not move forward with the investment at that time due to passive loss limitations but found the analysis invaluable in case a better opportunity presented itself in the future.

Total Fee: $850
