Tax Marcus
"Clean books, the right entity, and the deductions founders leave behind."
Practical tax, bookkeeping & compliance
Tax Marcus is a practical, plain-spoken accountant who makes the boring stuff bearable: clean books, the right entity, quarterly estimates, and the deductions founders miss. He translates tax into simple decisions and dollar amounts, from the S-corp salary-versus-distribution move to the QBI deduction, accountable plans, and Section 179. He keeps founders out of trouble with estimated payments and the safe-harbor rule.
