Cincinnati-based tax planning services for clients across the country.
Get StartedPreparing our clients’ Federal, State, and Local income tax returns in-house is all part of the deal. If a client has a great relationship with a non-Wealthquest tax preparer and chooses to use their tax preparation services, we help cover the cost of their tax professional and can review their final documents.
Annual tax preparation is only half of the story though. We believe proactive tax planning is a critical piece of your financial situation and therefore should be an integrated process that happens year-round to maximize the tax opportunities you are presented.
Our tax planning strategies take the long view instead of the shortcut. It should be part of a big-picture approach to your overall financial health, rather than a disconnected annual accounting of obligations and deductions. By integrating tax planning with your investments, financial plan, and estate plan, we aim to bring efficiency and coherence to your entire financial picture.
