Services
Tax compliance, with advisory built in.
Accurate federal and state filings paired with year-round planning, so tax strategy starts well before the deadline.
Who this is for.
Businesses and business owners navigating entity-level tax filings, multi-state exposure, or transaction events that require more than a once-a-year preparer.
Best fit for owners whose tax picture is more complex than a simple W-2 return, and who want a CPA who actively spots opportunities to improve tax efficiency, not only when asked.
How we work.
Every engagement begins with a written scope and quoted fees. Out-of-scope work is discussed and agreed to before it starts, so there are no surprise invoices.
You'll have a secure client portal for sensitive documents, timely responses from the CPA preparing your return, and a direct line of communication throughout the year.
We run projections ahead of year-end and flag planning opportunities as they come up, so the return itself isn't the only touchpoint.

Why this matters
The best tax outcomes come from planning, not filing.
At M. Naste CPAs, compliance and planning are part of the same engagement. The CPA who prepares your return is the same CPA who plans for it.
Because one CPA handles both, the strategy runs all year. We see what's happening in your books as the year unfolds and flag planning opportunities as they come up. We model entity elections before you incorporate, and we run projections well ahead of year-end so you have time to act on them.
You pay one fee for the relationship, and tax planning is built into it from day one.
