Succession Planning and AccountingBookkeeping Firms in Bountiful, UT

Succession Planning Services

If you own a family business, retirement isn't simply a matter of deciding not to go into the office anymore. You've got some critical questions to answer like...

"What happens to the business when you're no longer running it?"
"Will you have enough money to retire?"

The family dynamic complicates the whole transition because of the relationships and emotions involved. Most people are not comfortable discussing topics such as aging, death, and financial affairs.

Comfortable or not, succession planning should be a priority for any family business considering that more than seven out of ten family-owned businesses fail to survive the transition from founder to second generation, typically falling prey either to estate taxes or family discord - or both.

Developing and implementing a well-designed succession plan with a Bountiful is essential to the survival of a family business from one generation to the next.

A Bountiful tax accountant can help you with these key issues -

  • Keeping it in the family. Are you going to pass the business on to your family or sell it to a third party? We help you weigh the advantages and disadvantages of each of these options.
  • Who's going to run the business when you're gone? Management and ownership are not one and the same. You may decide to transfer management of your business to just one of your children but transfer equal shares of business ownership to all your children, whether they're actively involved in the business or not.
  • Minimizing the tax bite. The tax burden when transitioning a family business can be significant. The challenge is that a family business is not generally a liquid asset, but taxes are typically due when ownership is transferred.
  • Making it fair. Transferring family ownership often adds a tremendous amount of stress to individual family members. We talk with each of the family members to ensure that they feel they a getting an equitable and fair share of the pie.

What we do for you...

  • Once we understand how you feel about the key issues above, we begin constructing your succession plan focusing on these 5 issues...
  • Business Valuation
  • Business Restructuring
  • Tax Consequences
  • Retirement Projections
  • Tax Projections

  • Jake Peery
    I have an established small business and started a second this year. I've been a Turbo Tax user for the last many years. This year due to the second business I wanted some advice and was planning to do a side by side comparison, but with how everything went, I couldn't be happier with the end result and wont be going it alone anymore. I got in the end of March to get going on my taxes (my fault for being slow to get my crap in a pile). Leo was awesome guiding us through the process and helping us navigate the tax code. We ended up in a great place and I am looking forward to collaborating on some strategies for next year.

    Leo got my taxes hooked up 10x better than HR Block. As a 1099 tax season is always tricky. Paramount made it easy.
  • Darby Fanning
    I was looking for a local accountant who wasn't with one of the big tax corporations...and I've got to tell everyone reading this that I couldn't have made a better choice than going with Paramount to prepare my taxes. Please let me tell you why. Not only is he personable and easy to relate to, his knowledge of tax code and ability to help me understand the ins and outs of taxes, especially as a new homeowner, along with his way to soften any tax blows will definitely make you grateful for choosing to work with this small business. I'll definitely be coming back to him not only next year, but also each year after that. My greatest thanks to Paramount.
