The 4 Most FAQ's

I already have a CPA — why STARK Tax Planning?

That’s great — and we encourage our clients to keep working with their trusted CPAs. At STARK Tax Planning, we don’t replace your CPA; we complement them. While most CPAs focus on compliance, we provide proactive tax and accounting consulting — uncovering opportunities, reducing liabilities, and aligning your financial structure with long-term goals. Think of us as the strategic partner alongside your CPA.

What if I don’t love my current tax accountant or CPA?

If you don’t love your current tax accountant or CPA, you’re not alone. Many clients come to us feeling they aren’t getting enough proactive guidance or personal attention. We can step in as a strategic resource, offering a fresh perspective and a higher level of consulting. And if you need tax filing support, we partner with trusted CPAs and can provide referrals so you have a coordinated, high-caliber team behind you.

How is STARK Tax Planning different from a traditional tax preparer?

Traditional tax preparers focus on reporting what has already happened. STARK Tax Planning focuses on forward-looking tax strategy aimed at minimizing overpayment and improving efficiency in future tax planning. We present bespoke tax strategies tailored to your specific financial and business circumstances. These strategies are designed to be implemented by your existing CPA as part of the tax preparation and filing process, ensuring a smooth and efficient handoff. If you do not currently have a CPA, we are happy to provide a referral to a qualified professional who can assist with implementation.

Do I have to switch all my services to STARK Tax Planning?

Not at all. We meet you where you are. Some clients work with us for specific consulting projects, while others integrate us into every aspect of their financial picture. Whether it’s one solution or a full relationship, we customize our services around you.
