Guidance for Life’s Big Financial Moments

Selling a home in Port Jefferson Station, St. James, or Setauket? We plan around capital-gains exclusions and closing-cost impacts—before you list or accept an offer. Receiving an inheritance or a trustee distribution? We’ll clarify what’s taxable and coordinate timing so your plan stays on track.



Changing jobs, starting a side business in Smithtown or Nesconset, or preparing for retirement in Mount Sinai or Lake Grove? We’ll model scenarios in advance, set the right withholdings or estimates, and outline next steps you can act on with confidence.

For Freelancers and Small Business Owners

Many clients wear two hats—individual and self-employed. We coordinate entity discussions with your business CPA work, align quarterly estimates, and explore retirement options (SEP or Solo 401(k)) so your personal and business strategies point in the same direction. If you’ve had payroll changes, new 1099 income, or shifting write-offs, we’ll recalibrate before deadlines.
