S Corporations can offer meaningful tax advantages when they are structured and managed correctly. Lipsey & Associates works with S-Corp owners who need ongoing accounting, tax planning, and advisory support—not just a tax return.
Most clients invest between $5,000 and $15,000+ annually depending on complexity.
Tax Compliance
Preparation and filing of Form 1120-S, along with ongoing guidance to help keep your S-Corp accurate, compliant, and on schedule throughout the year.
Owner Compensation Planning
Guidance on reasonable salary structures, distributions, and compensation planning so you can stay compliant while improving overall tax efficiency.
Strategic Tax Advisory
Proactive year-round planning designed to reduce your total tax liability and help you make better decisions before year-end—not after the fact.
Ongoing Oversight
Quarterly estimated tax guidance, mid-year projections, year-end planning, and coordination between your business and personal tax picture.
For many business owners, S-Corp tax strategy is not a one-time decision. Once the election is in place, ongoing planning becomes essential. Compensation, distributions, payroll, bookkeeping accuracy, and personal tax considerations all work together.
When these pieces are not coordinated, business owners often end up with avoidable tax inefficiencies, compliance risks, or unnecessary surprises at year-end. Our role is to help clients manage the full picture—not just prepare returns after the fact.
Ignoring reasonable compensation rules
Underpaying salary and overusing distributions can create IRS exposure and weaken your overall tax strategy.
Treating tax planning as a year-end exercise
Waiting until filing season limits your options. Strong planning happens throughout the year.
Keeping books and taxes disconnected
Accurate accounting supports better tax decisions. Without it, planning becomes reactive instead of proactive.
We start by understanding your current structure, compensation approach, and tax concerns. From there, we identify the most important issues and build a coordinated plan.
For ongoing clients, this includes accounting support, payroll coordination, proactive tax planning, and integrated preparation of both business and personal returns.
Most S-Corp owners we work with come from firms that were reactive, difficult to reach, or focused only on filing returns. Our approach is different—we provide ongoing support, proactive planning, and a higher level of service throughout the year.
Ongoing S-Corp Advisory
We don’t just file your return. We help you manage compensation, distributions, and tax strategy throughout the year so decisions are made proactively—not after the fact.
Accuracy & Protection
Our work is designed to be thorough and defensible. We stand behind our filings and help clients navigate IRS notices and audits if they arise.
Responsive, Reliable Service
Many of our clients come to us after poor experiences with unresponsive firms. We prioritize clear communication, timely responses, and consistent follow-through.
Integrated Support
Your accounting, payroll, and tax strategy are connected. We manage these together so your financials stay accurate and your tax planning stays aligned.
This service is designed for business owners who want an ongoing CPA relationship that includes accounting, tax, and advisory support.
We do not offer standalone individual tax return engagements.
