Your 2026 tax bill is still up for discussion
Most of what you'll owe next April gets decided before December 31. A year-end planning session shows you where you stand and what's still worth doing.
Ask about year-end planningRetirement contributions, income timing, business purchases and estimated payments all count toward 2026 only if they happen this year.
Who planning pays off for
If your year looked a lot like last year and your refund was what you expected, you probably don't need a plan. You likely do if any of these fit.
- You own a businessTiming income and expenses, equipment purchases, retirement plan contributions, and how you pay yourself can all shift your bill.
- Something big changedRetirement, a home sale, a new job or side income, marriage, divorce, an inheritance, or a child who no longer qualifies for credits.
- You're retired or close to itRequired distributions, Roth conversions, and Social Security timing are easier to manage before the year closes.
- April surprised youIf you owed more than expected last year, we can check your withholding and estimates while there's still time to fix them.
- You live or earn abroadExpat and nonresident returns have their own rules, and some choices need to be made before year-end.
Two ways to plan
Both are done over Zoom, with a written summary you keep.
Planning sessions are scheduled through mid-December so there's time to act on the results.

What clients say
“Living as an expat in the UK, the thought of filing two sets of taxes was daunting. Dan was professional and clearly communicated with me throughout the process for additional information when needed. I felt at ease knowing that he was on the other end and ensuring things were done correctly.”
“I recommend Dan for tax services.”
