ABOUT DRENEN FINANCIAL SERVICES

Tax mitigtion and financial planning combined together

Even the best laid financial plan can be completely undone by taxes and changes in tax laws, taking with it any gains and profits you made in your portfolio, personal income, or business (if you have one). If you have a separate accountant and financial planner, they may

    not
have all the knowledge, experience, and information you need to provide you a comprehensive plan that helps position you for the lowest taxes and the safest, highest returns. That’s why the Drenen Financial Services philosophy is that tax mitigation and financial planning surely go hand-in-hand.

Because we are also tax professionals, we’ll approach your financial plan with a strong tax mitigation strategy that most other financial planners fail to take into account. Drenen can also help aith audits. Because you’ll save and keep more money from taxes, you’ll have more to invest, and therefore, your portfolio has potential to grow faster.

COLLEGE PLANNING

There is much more strategy involved in college planning than just putting money into a college fund. Even if you are not sure if your child is going to college, it’s important to plan as if they are. It’s never too early to plan, but if your child is in high school, it’s even more important to put a plan in place quickly.

MEDICAL AND DENTAL PRACTICES

There are specific issues that medical and dental practices face that need to be taken into account when it comes to tax time that other accountants and financial planners may miss.

RESTAURANTS AND CATERERS

Restaurants and caterers are businesses that deal with a lot of cash, part-time help, and inventory. Accurate bookkeeping and tax planning is important to preserving what you’ve worked so hard to make. Drenen can protect and help with IRS audits as well.
