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

Construction Tax Planning & Strategy

Ongoing changes in the tax code create new complexities and opportunities for your business. At HORNE, we help you go beyond simply meeting your tax requirements.

Tax Representation

No one likes a tax inquiry. But statistically, private business owners run an above-average risk of undergoing an audit. Minimize the time, stress and distraction of dealing with the IRS and other tax agencies. Let HORNE interface with state and federal tax personnel and provide the necessary reports, responses and documentation needed to resolve any issues.
