And when the tax implications extend to strategic growth or risk advisory services, our team’s integrated approach puts your business first so business decisions are made with all angles considered.
If a business relocation or expansion is on the calendar, businesses want to consider every opportunity to conserve cash.

Tax Reform created a valuable deduction for small and closely held businesses called the Qualified Business Income Deduction, or QBID. Also known as the pass-thru entity deduction, it provides for a maximum 20 percent deduction for qualified business income for applicable businesses. The calculation can become complex and even partners in business types that aren’t eligible may still qualify for a prorated deduction. Windham Brannon will analyze the full scenario and provide a workable solution to claim any part of the QBID deduction that is available.
Drawing upon decades of experience dealing with the IRS and other taxing authorities and dozens of professionals well-versed in various tax laws, Windham Brannon’s Business Tax practice works alongside owners and partners to reduce their company’s tax liability now and in years to come.
