Specialty tax opportunities are not limited to large corporations—and a business does not need millions in revenue or hundreds of employees to benefit.
Dave McGuire hosts Mike Hammel, MAcc, to explore how CPAs can identify specialty tax opportunities within closely held manufacturers, contractors, healthcare practices, software startups, exporters, and family businesses. They explain why fit depends more on what a business is doing than how large it is.
Through practical examples, Dave and Mike discuss R&D tax credits, cost segregation, property tax appeals, location advisory incentives, IC-DISC, international tax compliance, and transfer pricing. They also address common misconceptions and explain why CPAs should ask clients about growth plans, hiring, facility investments, equipment purchases, exports, acquisitions, and ownership transitions throughout the year.
The central takeaway: Be curious. Asking better questions can help advisors identify opportunities earlier and connect tax strategies with each client’s broader goals.
