I am a CPA professional specializing in business taxes, independent contractors, Certified Public Accountant (CPA) services, tax reform (Section 199A), Qualified Business Income Deduction (QBID) and tax efficiency planning and tax deductions.Business Advisory and Accounting Partners serves the greater Tampa Bay market including, Clearwater, St. Petersburg, Largo, Palm Harbor, Dunedin, Seminole, Safety Harbor, Pinellas Park, Lutz, Belleair, Trinity, Oldsmar, Tarpon Springs, New Port Richey, Holiday, Land O' Lakes, Wesley Chapel and the surrounding areas. As we work with small businesses, we often hear from the owners that they're looking for more from their accountant. They're looking for support and guidance to help them make financial decisions to run their business more efficiently and protect the asset that is often the most valuable asset they have. It's because small businesses are looking for more, that we modeled our advisory firm around proactive planning and guidance rather than just recording what happened in the past. We at Business Advisory and Accounting Partners recognize that small businesses need a partner that can help them understand proper tax planning, running their companies more efficiently and realizing a better return on the investment they make in their business. When clients engage with Business Advisory and Accounting Partners, they are going to have a different experience; One that is centered on being tax efficient and that is aligned with their business goals. Prior to joining B.A.A.P., I served as a Commercial Banker for over 10 years. In that time I worked with a number of small businesses whose CPA's focused primarily on reducing taxes. While this is one strategy that can be employed, often this made it difficult for the company to secure financing or maximize their investment when they tried to monetize their business. The experience a business owner has with Business Advisory and Accounting Partners is much different than that of any other firm. We act as a financial sounding board for our clients, and we help our clients put tools in place to strategically and financially manage their business. We help our clients achieve a higher, post-tax net worth by building an efficient tax strategy that aligns with their goals. Our core philosophy is, "Any C.P.A. firm can record history. Our firm will help you build a future."Contact me at markm@busadvisory.com to learn how I can help you.
