Tax Strategy & Planning
What We Do
Most tax firms are historians, they tell you what last year’s income is. We’re strategists. We design your tax architecture before December 31, capture every credit you’ve earned (state production credits, R&D, Section 181, S-corp savings), and then file the returns to match. Strategy and filing under one roof, executed by people who speak production and creator economics fluently.
Proactive Tax Strategy
Quarterly strategy sessions to optimize entity structure, income timing, retirement vehicles, and credit capture before year-end, so April is a math problem, not a fire drill.
Entity Structuring & Filing
Federal, multi-state, and local returns for individuals, S-corps, partnerships, and C-corps, plus K-1s and quarterly estimates all coordinated with your accounting and strategy.
Production & Creator Credit Capture
State production tax credits, R&D credits on technical post, Section 181 expensing, S-corp savings, accountable plans, Augusta rule all captured, documented, and audit-defendable.
The PRod Co Advantage
Every dollar you overpay in tax is a dollar that doesn’t go into your next show, your next launch, your retirement, or your team. Strategy beats compliance, and doing both with one team that already knows your books means nothing falls between the cracks. Most clients see meaningful tax savings in the first year that more than off set our fee.
Tax FAQs
Filing is execution. Strategy is what determines what your filing even looks like. Most CPAs are historians, they tell you what you owe on last year’s income. We design the architecture before December 31 so the bill is smaller when it shows up. If you’re only hearing from your filer in March, you’re almost certainly leaving money on the table.
It depends on your structure, income mix, and how much has been left unoptimized. Savings range from low five figures for personal brands with simpler setups to seven-eight figures for production companies with multi-entity slates and missed credit captures. The first thing we do on every engagement is a free review of your last return so we can tell you honestly what we see before you commit to anything.
Most production-specialist CPAs handle one show at a time and treat your slate like a one-off. Most creator-specialist CPAs treat you like a freelancer and miss the multi-entity opportunities. We do both and we’ve been inside the entertainment industry for 25+ years. That means we know the production tax credits, the creator economy tax moves, and the entity architecture that connects them.
Pricing is structured by complexity, number of entities, scope of strategy work, and filing scale. Most engagements are quoted as a flat weekly/monthly fee after a 30-minute discovery call. Reach out for a custom quote.
