“The hardest thing in the world to understand is the income tax.” — Albert Einstein.
And yet, as a business owner, it’s something you can’t afford to misunderstand. Every missed deduction is money left on the table. Every inaccurate filing? A possible red flag. That’s where Estess CPA steps in—not just to crunch numbers, but to make sure you get every dollar you deserve back in your pocket.
Tax Time Shouldn’t Be a Guessing Game
Let’s face it—navigating tax season can feel like walking through a maze blindfolded. Between changing laws, new regulations, and the pressure to file correctly, it’s a lot. But here’s the thing: you don’t have to figure it out alone.
At Estess CPA, we specialize in maximizing tax deductions for small and medium-sized businesses in Louisiana. From Belle Chasse to Luling, we help local businesses keep more of what they earn.
The Estess CPA Difference
What sets us apart? We don’t do cookie-cutter tax prep. Instead, we tailor every strategy around your specific business goals and challenges. You get a plan—not just a filing.
Whether you’re a startup juggling receipts or a seasoned business with multiple revenue streams, we find the hidden deductions you didn’t even know you qualified for.
Real Ways We Help You Maximize Your Tax Deductions
1. Proactive Tax Planning—Not Just Filing:
We don’t wait for tax season to talk about deductions. Our CPAs work with you year-round to plan smarter moves. That could mean restructuring your business, shifting how you pay yourself, or timing expenses better. It’s all about strategy—not scrambling.
2. Business Tax Deductions You Might Be Missing:
Think you’re already claiming everything? Maybe not. Here’s a quick peek at often-overlooked deductions:
- Home office expenses
- Start-up costs
- Depreciation on business equipment
- Mileage and travel
- Retirement plan contributions for employees
If you’re not actively tracking and documenting these, chances are you’re under-claiming.
3. Entity Evaluation
Are you structured as an LLC, S-Corp, or sole proprietorship? The right setup can drastically affect your tax bill. We’ll analyze your current structure and advise if a change could unlock better deductions or lower your tax liability.
4. Expense Categorization
We see it all the time: expenses lumped into the wrong categories. That small misstep? It could cost you thousands. We clean up your books and help you understand where every dollar goes—and what it can mean for your taxes.
5. Payroll and Retirement Planning
Want a dual win? We help you reduce your tax bill while creating long-term benefits for you and your employees. Think 401(k)s, SEP IRAs, and smart salary structures that work in your favor.
