Individual & Business Tax Planning. Real World Tax Strategies.
Tax Planning can't be done retroactively...
Navigating the maze of tax laws and regulations can feel like an overwhelming task for most of us. Many times the tax code feels like a weighted blanket that we are "enduring" rather than seeing it for what it really is....a Cheat Code to help us to legally pay as little tax as possible. Whether you're a high income W-2 employee and/or running a small business, understanding the ins and outs of tax planning is crucial. That's where Main Street CFO comes into play. We're not just about crunching numbers; we're here to guide you through the complexities of tax laws to ensure you're not leaving money on the table.
Advanced Tax Planning at Main Street CFO
At Main Street CFOs, tax planning isn’t just about filing returns or finding deductions after the year is over, it’s about engineering the financial blueprint of your business so you keep more of what you earn, protect your wealth, and create long-term efficiency. As Certified Tax Advisors, we employ proactive and highly specialized strategies designed for entrepreneurs in the real estate and construction industries.
1. Entity Structuring & Optimization
We ensure your business is structured in the most tax-efficient way, whether that’s an LLC, S-Corp, C-Corp, partnership, or a combination. Our strategies consider both current income and long-term exit goals, aligning your tax structure with your financial and operational objectives.
2. Tax-Efficient Compensation Planning
We design owner compensation models that balance salaries, distributions, and fringe benefits to minimize taxes while meeting compliance standards. This includes leveraging accountable plans, retirement contributions, and advanced benefit strategies.
3. Real Estate Focused Strategies
For developers, syndicators, and investors, we deploy advanced techniques like:
- Cost Segregation Studies to accelerate depreciation, including Bonus Depreciation.
- 1031 Exchanges to defer capital gains on property sales.
- Opportunity Zone Investments to maximize tax deferral and elimination.
- Passive Activity Loss Optimization to unlock deductions others often miss.
- Short Term Rental Loophole
4. Income Shifting & Family Tax Planning
We help owners legally shift income to lower tax brackets through family employment strategies, trusts, and gifting. This not only reduces overall tax but also builds a foundation for legacy planning.
5. Tax Deferral & Elimination Tools
We incorporate strategies such as:
- Qualified Small Business Stock (QSBS) exclusions.
- Retirement and defined benefit plan optimization.
- Charitable remainder trusts and donor-advised funds.
These allow clients to defer or, in some cases, eliminate taxable events entirely.
6. Transaction & Exit Planning
Taxes shouldn’t erode the value you’ve built over years of hard work. We integrate tax strategy directly into exit planning, whether you plan to sell, merge, or pass your business to the next generation. From installment sales to advanced trust structures, our planning ensures maximum after-tax value.
7. Continuous Monitoring & Compliance
Tax laws change constantly. As Certified Tax Advisors, we monitor legislation year-round to anticipate opportunities and protect against risks. Our clients don’t just react to tax changes, they stay ahead of them.

Advanced tax planning at Main Street CFOs isn’t about loopholes, it’s about designing a proactive, compliant strategy that aligns with your cash flow, growth, and exit objectives. Our goal is simple: minimize taxes, maximize wealth, and free up capital to reinvest in your business and future.
