Proactive tax advisory · Virtual Family Office

There's a gap between what you earn and what you keep

Coordinated tax, retirement, investment, and estate planning, directed by one advisor who sees all of it. Not four professionals who have never spoken.

No cost, no preparation. You will leave with two or three specific things to look at.

The Virtual Family Office

A structure that was only ever built for a few hundred families

A family office is a private team: tax specialists, investment advisors, estate attorneys, and a CFO, all working on one family's financial life and all talking to each other. Running one costs several hundred thousand dollars a year, so it was built for balance sheets that could absorb that.

If you earn $300K to $1M, your financial life is not proportionally simpler. You have equity compensation, possibly a business, possibly property, a family, and a retirement that has to hold. What you have never been offered is the coordination.

MicroTax is that structure, delivered virtually. One advisor directing a specialist network. One relationship, one plan, everything connected.

What we look for

Every return is a roadmap. Compliance work is not paid to read it that way.

A tax return is priced and scoped to report what already happened. Reading it forward, as a plan, is different work on a different clock.

ProfileWhat the return showsWhat we would look at
W-2 professional 401(k) underfunded, HSA blank, no tax-free retirement vehicle §7702 plan, HSA maximization, backdoor Roth
Business owner Self-employment tax maxed, SEP line blank, §199A unclaimed S-Corp election, defined benefit plan, R&D credits
Real estate investor Passive losses suspended, straight-line depreciation only Cost segregation, short-term rental strategy, 1031 planning

We will read your last return before the call. Bring nothing.

The F.A.S.T. Steps method

Right strategies, in the right sequence

Every client moves through the same four stages. Nothing gets recommended out of order, and nothing in a later stage gets sold before the earlier one is done.

F
Foundational

Core deductions, HSA maximization, retirement funding, entity review.

A
Advanced

Entity structuring, S-Corp elections, defined benefit plans, §199A.

S
Strategic

Cost segregation, R&D credits, §7702 plans, opportunity zones, 1031 exchanges.

T
Tactical

Estate design, legacy planning, cross-entity and equity event planning.

Where the relationship goes

Tax advisory is the door. Each step is funded by the one before it.

01
Tax advisory and optimization

Proactive, year-round planning and entity structuring. For many clients it stops here. That is a finished engagement, not a failed upsell.

02
Tax-free retirement, §7702

A retirement structure with no contribution limit and no required minimum distributions. These are life insurance products governed by IRS Section 7702.

03
Protection and risk

Life, disability, and annuity planning, coordinated with the tax and retirement position rather than sold separately.

04
Investment coordination

Portfolio alignment with your tax position, so one advisor is not undoing another's work.

05
Estate and legacy

Trust structures, beneficiary optimization, and estate tax mitigation with partner attorneys.

06
Fractional CFO

For business owners at $1M to $10M revenue: cash flow, forecasting, KPIs, and board-ready reporting.

How we are compensated

Tax advisory is a fee-based engagement. Retirement structures and insurance products carry commissions paid by the carrier. Investment coordination is billed as a percentage of assets under management. You will be told which applies before any recommendation is made, and every step is optional.

Replace this paragraph with the accurate description of MicroTax's arrangements. The point is that it appears here, in plain language, before anyone has to ask.

Four-year engagement

"I'd worked with the same CPA for eleven years and we had never once had a conversation that wasn't about a return already filed. The first MicroTax conversation surfaced $54K I'd been leaving on the table every year. The catch-up engagement paid for itself in three months."

If your tax bill feels bigger than it should be, that is usually a structure problem rather than a rate problem.

National platform

Founded in Silicon Valley. We only list a market where someone real is working

We expand by partnering with local firms. That gives you an advisor in your own market with a specialist bench behind them. Markets without a named advisor are marked as expanding, and we would rather show you a short list than a map.

Silicon Valley Los Angeles New York Austin, expanding Chicago, expanding Dallas, expanding Seattle, expanding Denver, expanding

Market list is illustrative. Publish only what is real: a named advisor per market, or "expanding."

Let's close the gap

Thirty minutes. We look at your full picture: taxes, retirement, investments, and where it is all heading. You leave knowing what is available to you, whether or not you work with us.

No cost, no obligation, no preparation required.

Own a tax practice?

We partner with and acquire CPA firms. Your brand, your team, and your client relationships stay as they are, with an advisory layer added on top and a path to succession when you want one. Integration is led by Ron James, our COO, who has run roughly 300 retail tax offices.
