Optimize your tax position with technical guidance across all 50 states

Complex regulations and volatility in state and local governments pose challenges to businesses every day. In pursuit of untapped opportunities to optimize their tax positions, organizations must work through dense, constantly shifting tax codes. The enactment of the OBBBA intensifies state tax conformity challenges, creating ongoing uncertainty for businesses navigating bonus depreciation treatment, the Section 1202 QSBS exemption, Section 163(j) interest expense limitations, Section 174 expensing rules, and other key provisions.

Our greatest asset is our people — not just for their deep knowledge of state tax regulations, but also for their integrity and commitment to our clients. Our philosophy for staffing state and local tax engagements is simple: identify the most qualified specialists with the most relevant experience and balance the team with ways of thinking that complement each other.

Our professionals are actively engaged with the AICPA, state CPA associations, chambers of commerce, and other tax organizations to track and influence developments in state and local taxation. We’ll keep you current with a steady stream of tax alerts, thought leadership, and webinars.

In the words of Partner Ron Cook, the leader of our state and local tax practice: “While numbers are our job, we look beyond them to take a holistic look at organizations — their needs, challenges, and goals — and get to know our clients on a personal level. This allows us to best position our clients for growth and success.”
