The tax return is
the result.
Strategy is the work.

Big-box firms show up at the finish line. We're with you the entire race — advising on every business decision, ownership structure, and financial move that determines what you owe before you ever hand us a document.

For founders, CEOs, and business leaders: every month without a proactive tax strategy is a month of overpaying. The best time to start was January. The second best time is today.

What we do

More than a tax firm. A year-round tax advisor.

Anyone can file a return. What separates Austin Tax Pros is what happens before the return — the strategy, the credit discovery, the advisory work that determines your outcome. We handle your business and personal taxes together, because the two are inseparable.

Business Tax Preparation

Accurate, on-time filing for corporations, S-corps, partnerships, LLCs, and sole proprietors — with a focus on minimizing liability, not just meeting deadlines.

Tax Strategy & Planning

Forward-looking tax planning that reduces what you owe before year-end — entity structuring, deduction optimization, timing strategies, and long-term planning for growth.

IRS Controversy & Audit Defense

Representation and resolution for IRS audits, notices, and disputes — so you're not navigating the IRS alone when it matters most.

Business Formation & Structuring

Entity selection and structuring advice that sets your business up for the right tax treatment from day one — LLC, S-corp, C-corp, or partnership.

Multi-Entity Tax Management

Consolidated oversight for owners with multiple business entities — coordinated filing, inter-entity transactions, and a strategy that looks across the whole picture.

Included for business clients

Personal Tax Returns

Your personal return doesn't exist in a vacuum — it's directly tied to your business income, distributions, and ownership structure. We prepare both together, so nothing falls through the cracks.

Who we work with

Built for owners with a lot on the line.

If you own a business, your tax situation is fundamentally different from a regular W-2 employee — and it deserves a firm that actually understands that. Here's who we work with best.

🏢

Small & Mid-Sized Businesses

Corporations, S-corps, partnerships, and LLCs with active operations needing both compliance and proactive planning.

🚀

Entrepreneurs & Founders

Early to growth-stage founders who need tax strategy from the start — entity structure, owner compensation, and reinvestment planning.

🔗

Multi-Business Owners

Owners managing two or more entities who need someone who can see the whole picture — not just file each return in isolation.

High-Growth Companies

Revenue growing fast means your tax exposure is too. We stay ahead of it — hiring credits, R&D incentives, state nexus, and the personal tax implications of your growth.

🔄

Turnaround Situations

Distressed businesses catching up on filings, resolving IRS issues, or restructuring — with a tax advisor who's also been in the CFO chair.

🏛️

Non-Profit Organizations

501(c) entities needing compliance, unrelated business income guidance, and financial oversight from advisors who understand the non-profit structure.

How we work

Four steps from where you are to where you should be.

The first step costs you nothing. Every step after pays for itself.

01

The Conversation

A free, no-pressure consultation where we learn your full situation — structure, finances, pain points, and where you think you're overpaying. No commitment. Just clarity.

02

The Plan

A custom tax strategy built around your whole picture — entity structure, owner compensation, credits you qualify for, timing decisions, and the connection between business and personal returns.

03

The Execution

We implement — filings, elections, credit documentation, IRS representation if needed — while keeping you informed at every step. No surprises. No year-end scramble.

04

Tax Efficiency & Savings

The result: a lower, more predictable tax bill. Year-round advisory so every business decision is made with its tax impact understood. This is what working with a real tax advisor looks like.

About Austin Tax Pros

A tax practice led by someone who's run the businesses too.

Our Founder built Austin Tax Pros after two decades at the intersection of tax, accounting, and operating businesses directly — as a fractional CFO, COO, and turnaround executive across retail, wholesale, non-profit, and publicly traded companies.

That operating background is what separates Austin Tax Pros from a traditional tax firm. We don't just file — we understand what's driving your tax outcome and advise accordingly. And when complex challenges arise, we have the operating experience to help navigate those too.

Headquartered in Austin, TX — one of the fastest-growing business markets in the country. We serve clients locally, nationally, and internationally, with a fully remote-ready practice built for founders and business leaders who expect their advisors to work the way they do.

💡

Messy books = missed deductions. If your accounting workflows are disorganized, you're almost certainly leaving money on the table at tax time — not because of bad strategy, but because the data isn't there to support it. Cleaning up the foundation first makes every tax outcome better.
