Tax Compliance
& Planning

Create opportunities through ensuring compliance.

With owner-operated companies, it’s easy to blur the line between personal and business finances. How can you take a long-term financial view for both? Is it smarter to leave money in the business or take it out? What’s the best way to manage your personal and business taxes?

As an owner, almost every decision has a potential impact on your taxes. At HORNE, we help you make the right choices and develop strategies to achieve the best possible outcomes.

“In regard to taxes, we never had a strategic plan before. HORNE helped us foresee what our liabilities would be — showing us how to mitigate them by taking advantage of depreciation laws and minimize the impact in the coming years.”

Kyle Cassagne, JLB Contractors, LLC
