Eckhoff and Company provides services on all matters relating to tax planning and preparation. Our goal is to identify every planning opportunity and to structure transactions to our client's advantage. Clients want to reduce their tax liability as much as possible. That desire parallels our proactive and aggressive tax planning strategies for clients. We work with clients to look at the road ahead, where real tax advantage can be gained, instead of trying to adjust the past. We strive to understand the risks and benefits of various alternatives and work within the comfort levels of our clients. We build defensible tax planning strategies which are as bold, or as conservative as they need to be to fit the client's interests.

Our experience in this area is significant and ranges from private individuals to large companies. In each area, we are familiar with the tax reporting requirements and strategies, as they pertain to that particular client's industry or situation.

Through our national affiliation with AGN International and their Washington affiliation, we actively track Treasury Department rulings, pending legislation, Congressional hearings and Court opinions to maintain current tax intelligence and to plan for coming events.
