Business Tax Services
As a small business ourselves, we love helping business owners thrive. With a variety of skill sets and a healthy dose of learning from experience, Luminary Tax Advisors is here to guide you through the “business” side of your business, so you can get back to doing what you love.
Tax Planning
There are as many business tax obligations as there are business owners. Some need to pay an estimated income tax each quarter. Some don’t. Some have to worry about employer tax, self-employment tax, excise tax, and a million other taxes nickel-and-dimeing away at your sanity.
Good thing you have Luminary Tax Advisors to help you make sense of what you owe, sort through the complexities, and take the guesswork out of your taxes, no matter your size or business type. We can even help you find new ways to make the most of the tax code so you can deduct more and owe less.

Formation
Congratulations! You made the big decision to start a business. Next comes the equally big and far more complex decision of how to start that business: Should you be an LLC, an S-Corp, or something else entirely? Will you have a brick-and-mortar location? How do you make sure your business name isn’t already taken?
Many new business owners turn to an attorney for this guidance — and add “attorney fees” to their long list of startup costs. Luminary Tax Advisors can help you sift through the corporate jargon and piles of paperwork to set your business up for success without breaking the bank.

Sales Tax
Whether you sell goods/services for a living or happened to sell your car on Craigslist, you may be responsible for collecting and filing the sales tax on those exchanges.
Sales tax laws are complicated and can vary greatly from state to state. We work closely with our clients to help them make sense of sales tax and avoid the hefty penalties of noncompliance.

Sale & Acquisition
Are you buying into the next big thing or a giant money pit? Are you selling your business for what it’s truly worth or are you getting fleeced? We’ve seen both sides of the business, with our own firm and with our clients’. Trust our years of experience to help you ask the right questions and determine what the sale is really worth to you, so you can cash in or cash out with confidence.
Bookkeeping
If you’re like many business owners, you’re drowning in bank statements and receipts that you keep meaning to organize. Save yourself the headache (and avert the accounting crisis) by letting us put your papers to work. We’ll sort through your records and compile monthly, quarterly, and annual financial statements so you can make more informed business decisions.
payroll
Keeping up with local and state tax filings for payroll is one of the biggest burdens on business owners. Processing payroll on your own costs valuable time, and could cost much more in penalties if you make a mistake. Luminary can help lighten the load. We’ll take care of paying your staff and contractors and make sure it’s done right, all at a fraction of the cost of the big-box companies.
