With the constantly changing nature of the taxation system, tax planning is important for any business. Tax laws regarding depreciation, passive losses, minimum tax, and capital gains have a tremendous impact on management decision making. Though the opportunities for tax savings are becoming more limited, there are still many opportunities available.

At Hungerford, Aldrin, Nichols & Carter, PC, we strive for the lowest tax liability for our clients. We can help you implement creative and effective tax planning strategies for your business. In many cases, paying the least possible tax and economic success go hand-in-hand.

Our professionally trained staff considers your company’s financial affairs and makes recommendations based on current case law, IRS interpretations, pending legislation, and professional judgment. As an aid in our research, we maintain an extensive electronic tax library.

We’ve been serving West Michigan’s businesses since 1941, so with Hungerford, you get a trusted, knowledgeable partner. Since most of our clients are closely-held companies, we understand the link between business taxation and personal taxation. Tax planning strategies need to be examined in light of both the business and personal needs of the owners. We feel it is important to know our clients so we can help coordinate, advise, and implement successful tax strategies.
