Your taxes and
your portfolio,
working together.

Most people receive financial advice in pieces — a CPA does taxes, a financial advisor manages investments, and decisions get made independently. We coordinate both under one roof, so every move supports the next.

A golden field of crops under a clear sky during sunset with the sun low on the horizon.

Prepares the tax return after the year is already closed.

Conventional

WHO YOU WORK WITH

Financial & Tax Advisor

One advisor. Every angle covered.

Most firms hand you to a CPA in tax season and an advisor the rest of the year. Anton holds the credentials and the responsibility for both — investments, taxes, and the planning that ties them together.

“Every investment decision has tax consequences. My job is to see both sides before we make a move.”

THE PROCESS

Year-round, written down, and on your calendar.

Step 1

Discovery conversation

A 30-minute call to understand where you are: your tax situation, portfolio, retirement timeline, and what's worked (or hasn't) with prior advisors. No prep needed, just bring your questions.

Step 2

Coordinated review

We go through your prior returns, statements, and account documents side-by-side. This is where your taxes and your investments start talking to each other — most clients learn something they didn't know.

Step 3

Aligned Strategy

You get a written plan tying your tax decisions to your investment decisions: withdrawal sequencing, Roth conversions, contribution targets, and sale timing. All in one place.

Step 4

Year-round execution

We don't disappear between April and December. Quarterly check-ins, portfolio rebalancing, tax projections, and proactive moves before deadlines, not after. Most clients are fully onboarded within two weeks — and never again wonder whether their CPA and their advisor are on the same page.
