Strategic Tax Planning

We take High-Income Earners and Business Owners From Overpaying to Optimized

When it comes to taxes, hope isn’t a strategy. As an IRS representation and tax planning practice based in Los Angeles, we help entrepreneurs and individuals build year‑round, audit‑ready plans that legally minimize tax, improve cash flow, and keep the IRS off your back.

Who we serve: Small‑to‑mid‑sized business owners, independent professionals, real estate investors, and high‑earning W‑2/1099 taxpayers across the U.S.

How we’re different: You get direct access to an Enrolled Agent—a federally authorized tax practitioner with unlimited representation rights before the IRS—plus a clear, step‑by‑step plan you can actually implement.

Unlock the Most Innovative Tax Strategies—Reserved for High‑Income Filers

Are you paying more than $40,000 in federal taxes with $300,000+ in taxable income? Discover the techniques top advisors employ for business owners, real estate investors, and high‑net‑worth individuals to legally minimize your tax bill—sometimes down to $0.

Led by Lenard De Guzman, EA (NTPI Fellow): an Enrolled Agent with advanced training and deep, hands‑on experience helping owners and investors engineer durable, exam‑ready tax outcomes.

What we do for qualified clients:

  • Reengineer income streams with strategic entity selection (and maintenance) for optimal deductibility and payroll/self‑employment tax efficiency.
  • Deploy cost segregation & accelerated depreciation to unlock large, immediate deductions while coordinating basis, passive‑loss, and recapture rules.
  • Incorporate sophisticated credits, trusts, & timing tactics that go far beyond standard tax prep—coordinating elections, capital gains management, and multi‑entity flow‑through design.
  • Apply legal state residency & multi‑jurisdiction planning to legitimately shrink—or eliminate—state income taxes.

If you qualify, these strategies can transform your after‑tax cash flow, protect wealth, and build audit‑defensible positions.

Lenard has done a great job for me. He’s working with the IRS and cleaning up 7 years of stuff. So far it’s been very smooth and good. I’m already getting some money back, more than I’ve paid Lenard for sure.

I hadn’t done taxes in a few years, and it was overwhelming to get it going myself to get my taxes set up right again. Lenard’s helped a ton! Got my taxes straightened out, was professional, and sympathized with me. Definitely recommend!

What “Tax Planning” Means at IRS RESO

Tax preparation reports history. Tax planning shapes it. We map the next 12–24 months so you know which entity choices, elections, deductions, and timing strategies will deliver the biggest legal savings—without triggering IRS problems later.

Your deliverable: a written, prioritized plan with estimated tax impact, due dates, and implementation checklist.

Problems We Solve

  • Overpaying because deductions/credits are missed or poorly documented

  • Paying self‑employment tax that could be reduced with an S‑Corp election

  • Messy books leading to avoidable IRS notices or audits

  • Timing income/expenses poorly (cash vs. accrual; year‑end bunching)

  • Real estate strategies (cost segregation, bonus depreciation, passive loss rules)

  • Multi‑state and remote team complexity

  • Estimated tax surprises and penalties

I was a little lost and a couple years behind but Lenard took the time to work with me hearing out my concerns and making sure I wouldn’t get taken advantage of.

So far so good!!!! Lenard has done a great job for me. He's working with the IRS and cleaning up 7 years of stuff. So far it's been very smooth and good. I'm already getting some money back, more than I've paid Lenard for sure. I'll add to this once all is done, but I suspect it will be as good as it's been so far. L
