If you wait until tax season to start thinking about taxes, you’ve already missed the opportunity to save. Small business tax planning is not something to do once a year—it’s a strategic process you can use all year long to lower your tax bill and increase your cash flow.

The problem? Most tax preparers are reactive. They act as historians, taking the numbers you provide and filing your return. If the information paints a less-than-favorable picture, there’s little they can do at that point to help. That’s why smart business owners adopt a different approach.

With proactive small business tax planning, you don’t just react to your numbers—you shape them. You make smarter decisions throughout the year that lead to better results come tax time. This includes strategies like adjusting your income timing, maximizing deductions, reviewing entity structure, and managing capital expenditures with intent.

Instead of waiting for April to scramble, a tax plan helps you stay ahead:

• You’ll identify legal deductions in real time.
• You can shift income to lower-tax periods.
• You’ll be prepared, not surprised when it’s time to file.
