Scrimping on Payroll Services Will Red-Flag Your Business With the IRS

The IRS is serious about payroll tax laws and the penalties and fines for those who don’t comply are stiff. If you are a small business owner who processes your own payroll, or who hires an employee who dedicates time to processing payroll, you are probably wasting a minimum of 12 days per year that could be spent generating new business.

Business Tax Planning Strategies for 2026

By Christopher J. Gelfuso • February 10, 2026
For most business owners, business tax planning feels like something you deal with once a year, usually under pressure, and right before a deadline. That mindset is expensive. After more than 10 years as a CFO consultant and tax strategist, and previously serving as an IRS agent, I’ve seen the same pattern over and over: businesses don’t overpay taxes because the rules are unclear, they overpay because they’re reacting instead of planning.

4 Year End Tax Strategies for East Los Angeles Businesses

By Christopher J. Gelfuso • February 8, 2026
Before I dive into some year end tax strategies East Los Angelesbusiness owners can and should be making, I want to address some rumors and misinformation about the SALT workarounds that are available to some of our clients (though not all). Essentially, 22 states (as of this writing) have enacted legislation that enables business owners operating in a partnership or S-corp to deduct their state and local taxes (SALT) beyond the 10K cap that exists on federal returns. These are the states that currently provide this workaround in some measure:
