One design.Every stage after it.
Cutting a large tax bill isn’t about filing tricks. It’s about how the whole thing is built. Get the build right and everything after it works. Get it wrong and nothing does.
It’s a design problem.Not a filing problem.
Filing asks one question. Given what you already have, what can you deduct? The answer is always capped by the setup you walked in with. That’s playing defense.
Design asks the opposite question. Given what you want the money to do, where should it land, when, and at what rate? Get that right and deductions stop being the point.
The two add up differently. Filing gets you back a slice of this year’s bill. Design changes what the bill is in the first place. Over ten years that gap is enormous.
Where it lands.Decided once.
Most owners are still running what they set up on day one. One company, maybe an election somewhere along the way. It worked at $300,000 of profit. It leaks at $3,000,000.
Design treats the problem at its source. The problem is business income landing on your personal return, so we change what earns it, what holds it, and how it reaches you.
Four things get decided here at once. How much arrives as ordinary income. What a future sale costs you. What’s protected from a claim. What passes to your family. Most firms treat those as four separate jobs. They’re one decision, and you’re making it now.
Four objectives, all settled at the same time. Two of them pay off every year you own the business. The other two don’t show up until the end, and by then they’re already decided.
These four decisions are what starts the Wealth Multiplier Loop. See how the loop works.
What’s left.Deductions, at size.
Structure changes how income is taxed. It doesn’t remove all of it. What’s left over is the second conversation, and it doesn’t open up until there’s real profit to work with.
Sometimes that's an investment that carries a tax benefit with it. Sometimes it's another business worth buying, with assets inside it worth owning. What's available at $3,000,000 of profit isn't what was available at $300,000.
This is where most owners start, because it’s the one their accountant brings up. It works. It works a lot better sitting on top of a design that was right to begin with.
The sale.Already decided.
What a sale costs you depends on what is being sold and who owns it. Whether the buyer takes the company or takes the assets. What the company is. Who holds the shares, and how long they have held them.
Every one of those was settled at design. Most owners are S corps, and buyers don’t buy S corps. They want an LLC or a C corp, or they want the assets. Which one you are was decided when the business was built.
Which is why this work has a deadline that lands well before the closing does. There’s a point where the options that mattered are already gone, and it comes earlier than most owners are told.
What arrives.And where it lives.
The money rarely arrives all at once, or all in one place. Part of it lands inside structures you set up years earlier, part of it outside them, and part of it long after closing.
That leaves two decisions. What the money’s invested in, and what it’s held inside. The second one is what nobody gets asked about, and it changes what you keep as much as the first does.
It's also where this half of the practice hands over to the other. You can find the investment side at quantus.investments.
How we work.Four steps, in order.
See what you have.
We map your current setup and find where the income lands. Then we put a number on the gap between what you pay now and what you could pay.
Draw the new setup.
Which companies, what moves between them, and where the money you keep goes. The drawing before the building.
Build it.
Forming the companies, writing the agreements, setting up the contracts between them and the books to match. It stops being a document and starts running.
Watch what changes.
The build is done in stage three. From there we watch it against what the business actually does, and flag anything that stops fitting.
Start with a call.Thirty minutes.
We’ll find out whether there’s real money on the table in your current setup. If there is, we’ll walk you through what changing it takes and what it means to you. If there isn’t, we’ll say so on the call.
