How we can help

Tax preparation is more than completing forms. It involves applying current tax rules, using proper documentation, and filing in a way that reduces avoidable issues. G Griggs CPA stays current with federal and Colorado tax requirements so your return reflects the most up to date guidance and reporting standards. We also help clients address common filing concerns such as missing forms, questions about deductions, and clarification on reporting categories.

For business owners and nonprofits, accurate filing starts with clean records. If your books need attention, we can help get things organized so your return is based on reliable information. Our goal is to make the process manageable, reduce delays, and help you feel confident that your return is complete and correct.

If you have received a tax notice or want help planning for next year, we can coordinate that support as part of your tax preparation process. We keep next steps clear and help you move forward with confidence.

Tax Planning

Tax planning works best when it happens throughout the year, not just at filing time. G Griggs CPA helps clients plan ahead with strategies based on income, deductions, entity structure, and long term goals. With proactive planning, you can improve cash flow and make decisions with a clearer understanding of how they affect your taxes.

We take a practical approach that helps you act before deadlines hit. This is especially helpful if you are growing a business, managing variable income, changing jobs, buying or selling a property, taking distributions, or preparing for retirement. Tax planning can also help if you have multiple income sources, self employment income, or major deductions that vary from year to year. Small adjustments made early often create better outcomes by year end.

Tax planning services include:

• Year round tax strategy and guidance
• Estimated tax payment planning
• Entity structure review and optimization
• Timing strategies for income and deductions
• Retirement and investment tax considerations
• Planning support for business owners and nonprofits

Tax planning is about understanding how today’s decisions affect future tax outcomes. G Griggs CPA works closely with clients as the year unfolds to identify opportunities, manage cash flow, and adjust strategies as circumstances change.

Tax planning helps you:

• Avoid surprise tax bills by projecting your year end outlook
• Improve cash flow by planning for quarterly payments
• Know what to track during the year so you are not scrambling later
• Decide when to take income or deductions when timing matters
• Reduce underpayment risk and penalty exposure
• Make informed decisions around major changes like new income, new business activity, or retirement transitions

Planning also helps you stay organized between filing seasons. When you know what documentation is needed and what your estimated tax obligations look like, you can avoid last minute scrambling and reduce the risk of underpayment or an unexpected balance due.
