Haskell & White's recent Roundtable Series program entitled “Financial Bucket List” outlined available estate planning and business strategies designed to reduce taxes and maximize business value in the final quarter of 2011.
Irvine, CA, October 14, 2011 --(PR.com)-- The next 75 days are crucial for businesses and high net worth individuals looking to take advantage of opportunities within the current tax legislation, according to the latest roundtable series by Irvine-based Haskell & White LLP, one of Southern California’s largest independently owned accounting, auditing and tax consulting firms. The September 21 program entitled “Financial Bucket List” outlined available estate planning and business strategies designed to reduce taxes and maximize business value in the final quarter of 2011.
“The recent legislative tax changes have provided an unprecedented historical opportunity to gain additional value through M&A activity as well as the benefits of advanced estate planning,” said Wayne Pinnell, Managing Partner of Haskell & White. “This discussion outlined in detail the strategies and tactics necessary to begin 2012 positioned for financial growth and security.”
Key points discussed in the presentation included the following:
Preparing an exit plan and key steps in selling a business, including tactics employed to make the business “investor ready.”
Businesses’ strategies for turning the current economic climate into an advantage by Using the reduced real estate and business values for estate and gift planning considerations.
Capitalizing on the available wealth transfer opportunity utilizing the temporary $5 million lifetime gift exclusion provided by the 2010 Tax Act before it expires at the end of 2012.
The roundtable discussion was facilitated by Pinnell, in collaboration with Haskell & White’s Corporate Tax Partner, Gary Curtis and Director of Advanced Estate and Gift Taxation, Marisa Alvarado.
