This is how all your numbers fall into place. You don't need to know what any of these tax forms are — because we do.

Tax strategy that starts before the year does.

Feldman Financials is a Brooklyn CPA practice built around one idea: the return is the easy part. The planning that happens before it is what actually changes what you owe.

60-second tax readiness check

A few quick questions, tailored to your situation — see where you stand.

Most CPAs report on the year. We try to change it.

A CPA who only calls in April is filing a return on decisions you already made — the window to lower what you owed has closed. We work the other way.

Before you sign a lease, hire your first employee, or restructure the business, we've usually already looked at what it does to your taxes. Entity structure, multistate exposure, timing — the strategy happens while there's still something to do about it.

A plan that runs on your calendar, not the filing deadline.

Clients on our advisory retainer move through the same four checkpoints every year.

Tax strategies worth knowing

A few of the moves we build into a plan when they fit — real strategies, not generic advice. Tap one to read more.

Qualified Business Income (QBI) Deduction

Most owners of an LLC, S-Corp, or sole proprietorship can deduct up to 20% of qualified business income — but the rules around wages, entity structure, and income limits decide how much of it you actually get to keep.

Maximize 401(k) Contributions

Pre-tax salary deferrals plus employer contributions can shelter a large share of income from tax while building retirement savings.

Short-Term Rental Loophole

Material participation in a short-term rental can let losses offset active income — a strategy most owners never realize they qualify for.

Cost Segregation Study

Breaking a property into components lets you accelerate depreciation and front-load deductions instead of spreading them over decades.

1031 Exchange

Roll gains from one investment property into another and defer the capital gains tax that would otherwise be due on the sale.
