Proactive vs. Reactive Tax Advisory

Proactive Advisory CPA — Frequent Touch Points

A proactive CPA, like Veris, stays in touch year-round, collaborating with you and other professionals to plan ahead, implement strategies, and maximize tax savings before year-end.

Reactive CPA — Limited/No Touch Points

A reactive CPA may not be aware of your major life events or new tax law changes until after year-end, often due to limited communication or workload constraints, resulting in missed opportunities.

Our 3-Step Process

  1. Review and Assess

    We begin with a thorough review of your prior year returns to understand your current landscape, identify what is working, and pinpoint areas for improvement.

  2. Plan and Execute

    Next, we develop a customized plan that fits your goals. This may include corrective actions, current year filings, or forward-looking strategies that help you stay ahead.

  3. Monitor and Adjust

    We maintain consistent touch points to ensure your plan continues to perform. Through ongoing advisory, we adapt your strategy as your business, family, or priorities evolve.
