Why owners ask for a second opinion
A filed return is not the same as a tax strategy.
Tax preparation answers a backward-looking question: What happened? It organizes completed activity, calculates what is owed, and keeps the business compliant.
Tax planning asks a different question: What can still change? It reviews decisions before they become history, while legitimate options may still be available.
“My accountant filed everything correctly” and “my business had a proactive tax plan” are not the same statement.
The assessment does not assume your current accountant made a mistake. It helps determine whether your planning process deserves a closer look.
