Income Tax Planning and Preparation
We Read the Tax Law Hungrily and Thoroughly. So You Don’t Have to.
Tax planning: it’s our favorite! Here at Robert P. Russo CPA, P.C., we’re obsessed with all things TAX. To us, detailed tax codes, laws, regulations, and rulings read like best-selling page turners. Why do you care about the reading habits of a bunch of tax zealots? Because these long and intricate documents hold the keys to how we strategically prepare your corporate tax returns. We can pinpoint that line of tax legalese that results in thousands of dollars in tax savings for you to re-invest in your businesses, or simply pocket.
Inquiring Minds Want to Know…
The Russo CPA team is equally interested in what you’re up to. Are you planning an expansion, a merger? Launching a new product? We prefer meeting with you regularly, at least twice per year, to keep your tax planning strategic and forward-facing. That way, our tax and accounting strategies are always aligned with your business goals.

First Thought. Best Thought.
Poet Allen Ginsberg had it right. Your first thought is often your best thought. Except if you’re an entrepreneur thinking a lawyer should decide your business entity. We get it, choosing between LLCs, C Corps, S Corps, partnerships, and sole proprietorships is overwhelming. With respect to our legal colleagues, your pick impacts two key things: your (real) tax liability and your (hypothetical) legal liability. Unless your lawyer is also a tax accountant, your first thought should be: “I’m contacting the Russo CPA Team.”
How We Choose Your Business Entity
First, our team of expert CPAs explores your business model to project revenues, expenses, and cash flow. Then, we use these and other factors to make the ideal choice. As your startup accountant, we’ll help you get set up and secure your employer identification number (EIN). And when you’re ready, we can refer you to the right lawyer (we’ve got a high-quality network) who can help you seamlessly complete what seems like a monumental task.
We’ve Been There. So You Can Go There.
Because of founder Bob Russo’s background as an entrepreneur, we bring more to the table than just being your accountant. We’re experts at cash flow projections, business plan assistance, investor fundraising, and more. We’re accountants and business advisors – a rare blend – who can give you the edge with intelligent, actionable advice. If you’re looking for a CPA who’s also business savvy, let’s talk!
*NOTE: There’s a misconception that CPAs only want the “big fish.” As a small- and mid-size business CPA, we deliver big-time service whether you have one employee (you!) or hundreds.
Financial Statements

The Russo CPA Team will capture a clear, unfiltered picture of your finances, and discern where you need touch-ups. From your income statement to your balance sheet, your cash flow statement to your projected budget, we determine how to structure and present your financial picture in the most effective, flattering light.
If necessary we can prepare audited, reviewed, or compiled financial reports for your firm.
