Helping Businesses
Plan Ahead With Confidence
Tax planning often feels like a burden for business owners. Regulations change constantly, deadlines approach quickly, and one overlooked deduction can cost thousands of dollars. Without expert support, it is easy to feel overwhelmed, especially when you are already managing the daily demands of running a business. These challenges create unnecessary stress and leave many owners uncertain about their financial future.
At ClearPath CFO Advisory, we recognize these frustrations. Based in Walnut Creek, CA, we proudly serve surrounding areas including Concord, Pleasanton, Pittsburg, Oakland, Fremont, and Berkeley. Our background as both entrepreneurs and financial advisors gives us unique insight into how tax planning directly impacts business growth.

Our services include reviewing entity structures, preparing annual forecasts, and identifying credits such as R&D incentives, Section 125 Plans, and cost segregation studies. Through our partnership with a recognized Tax Law Group, clients also receive free assessments of credits and deductions with no upfront cost.
With over 22 years of QuickBooks and financial expertise, we simplify the complexities of tax planning while giving you strategies to maximize savings. If you are ready to reduce stress and improve your financial outlook, schedule your free consultation today. ClearPath CFO Advisory delivers the clarity, structure, and confidence you need to move forward.
Why Our Tax Planning Support Stands Out
Choosing ClearPath CFO Advisory for tax planning means gaining more than compliance; you gain a strategy designed to safeguard your business and support growth. We begin by reviewing your financial records and entity structure to ensure your tax position is optimized. Using QuickBooks, we keep your financial data accurate, accessible, and ready for proactive decision-making.
Our team goes further by identifying opportunities for credits such as R&D tax credits, Section 125 Plans, and cost segregation studies. We also work with trusted tax attorneys through our Tax Law Group partnership to make sure every option is explored. This collaboration ensures that our clients receive thorough, legally sound strategies without upfront cost.
We focus on year-round planning rather than last-minute filings. That means monitoring financial performance, preparing projections, and providing advice that adapts to changing regulations. By staying ahead of tax law updates, we reduce surprises and create stability for your business.
Each plan is customized to your specific goals, whether that means freeing up cash flow, preparing for expansion, or planning for succession. With more than two decades of experience, we provide straightforward insights that help you make confident decisions. Business owners across Walnut Creek and surrounding cities trust ClearPath CFO Advisory because we combine accuracy with strategic thinking.
With us, you do not just file taxes; you create a tax strategy that supports your financial future. That is the difference between getting by and moving ahead.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is included in professional tax planning?
Tax planning includes reviewing your financial records, analyzing deductions and credits, evaluating entity structures, and creating forward-looking strategies to reduce liabilities and protect profits.
How can planning ahead lower my tax bill?
By projecting income and expenses, adjusting cash flow, and identifying available credits, tax planning helps minimize your taxable income legally. This approach maximizes savings and reduces surprises at filing time.
When is the best time to start planning?
The best time is now. Tax planning should be ongoing throughout the year, not just before filing season. Early preparation allows for smarter decisions on investments, payroll, and expenses.
Does tax planning only matter during tax season?
No. Effective planning is year-round. It ensures compliance, reduces risks, and positions you to take advantage of incentives or credits as they become available, not just at year-end.
Who can benefit from these services?
Owners of small businesses, startups, established corporations, and even independent contractors benefit from structured tax planning. Each strategy is customized to fit the size and needs of the business.
Can planning help with retirement or future transitions?
Yes. Tax planning supports retirement savings, estate transfers, and succession strategies. By minimizing tax exposure, you can pass wealth to the next generation or transition ownership smoothly.
