Tax Planning: Protect Your Creative Success and Maximize Your Net Returns

Tax planning isn’t just about filing forms every year—it’s about keeping more of what you earn so you can invest in your creative future. At Stone Ridge Advisors, we specialize in helping creative professionals and business owners like you navigate the complexities of the tax landscape, ensuring you take full advantage of every opportunity to minimize your tax bill and maximize your wealth.

Why Tax Planning Matters for Creatives and Business Owners

Taxes touch every aspect of your financial life—from your income and investments to your business expenses and retirement savings. With constantly changing laws and regulations, a proactive approach to tax planning is essential for:

  • Reducing your overall tax burden and keeping more money in your pocket
  • Maximizing deductions and credits that are often overlooked or underutilized
  • Ensuring compliance with evolving tax laws and avoiding costly mistakes
  • Aligning your tax strategy with your long-term financial and business goals

Key Tax Planning Strategies We Offer

Our process is designed to be proactive, personalized, and practical. Here are some of the ways we help you manage your taxes with confidence:

  • Maximizing Retirement Contributions: Investing in retirement accounts like SEP-IRAs, 401(k)s, and cash balance plans not only secures your future but also reduces your taxable income now.
  • Optimizing Business Deductions: We help you identify all eligible business expenses, from equipment and marketing to travel and professional development.
  • Investment Portfolio Tax Efficiency: We structure your investments to minimize capital gains, harvest losses, and make the most of tax-advantaged accounts.
  • Strategic Income Timing: We advise on the best timing for income and expenses to lower your tax liability, especially important for creative professionals with variable earnings.
