Who We Work With
We work with business owners and investors who need more than basic tax preparation.
This is a strong fit if you:
Business Owners
Planning-focused tax strategy before year-end decisions are finalized.
S-Corporation Owners
Reasonable salary planning, distributions, and proactive tax reduction strategies.
Real Estate Investors
Rental property, cost segregation, and short-term rental tax planning support.

This is not a good fit if you are looking for the lowest-cost tax filing or a one-time tax preparer.
Most CPAs Prepare Taxes. Few Actually Plan Them.
Most tax professionals focus on filing returns after the year is already over.
By then, many opportunities to reduce taxes are gone.
At Madsen and Company, we focus on proactive planning before year-end decisions are finalized.
Planning Often Includes:
✔ S-Corporation salary and distribution planning
✔ Real estate and short-term rental tax strategy
✔ Depreciation and cost segregation planning
✔ Estimated tax and cash flow coordination
✔ Entity structure and long-term tax planning
Tax preparation reports the outcome.
Tax planning helps shape it.
- Estimate your S-Corp tax savings
- Estimate your reasonable salary
