The Boutique Advantage
PrintWhy Golden Parachute Tax Solutions
1. We always stand behind our work
Many well-known large and mid-sized consulting firms (Specifically non-CPA firms) will provide their work product along with a fine print disclaimer stating that the computations they prepared cannot be relied upon. If your computations are challenged by the IRS do you want computations that state they can’t be relied on?
2. Our professionals working on an engagement are all professionals with experience
Most large have an experienced professional leading an engagement, but the lower level inexperienced professional providing most, if not all of the work. This is on the job training at your expense. You should always ask about the experience level and the location of the team, along with a commitment that the senior level professionals are providing the majority of time on your engagement and the work is not being performed from an international compliance center location.
3. We are not an audit firm and are thus independence restrictions under Sarbanes –Oxley do not apply
Independence issues often lead to critical delays, and more often than not, require you to hire another advisor. At Golden Parachute Tax Solutions you get one-stop shopping without the concerns of independence restrictions.
4. Our Fees are based on an hourly rate
In general, all service providers base their cost estimates on an hourly rate. When examining a proposal, some firms use a blended rate in their proposal to disguise actual fees. A blended rate usually equates to the vast majority of the work being prepared by inexperienced professionals at lower billing rate. Once again, you are paying for on the job training, not to mention an inferior work product.
5. We are a full service provider who will perform all of the required 280G tax work as well as all related valuation work
Even when there are no independence restrictions, most providers may not be able to provide valuation services, and if they do the process is usually disconnected and more often than not does not provide a work product that addresses many of the issues required for a 280G valuation.
