The Importance of Early Tax Planning

Tax planning should ideally begin early in the year rather than waiting until the end. Business owners often put off hiring professionals for tax advice, but doing so can provide valuable guidance and help streamline the planning process. Delaying tax discussions until a few weeks before the filing deadline can make it difficult to implement effective strategies. Proactive planning allows for better decision-making and can lead to significant savings.
