What Sacramento Clients Say About Our CPAs
Real Client Case Study — Sacramento, CA
Client: E. T. — State of California Executive
Financial Mix: High W-2 income, CalPERS pension contributions, two rental properties in Elk Grove, and significant capital gains from stock sales.
Problem: The client was overpaying estimated taxes and had not properly utilized the depreciation on their rental properties, leading to an unnecessarily high tax bill and poor cash flow management.
What We Did:
● Conducted a full review of the prior three years of returns.
● Implemented a cost segregation study on the rental properties to accelerate depreciation.
● Restructured estimated tax payments based on a precise projection of W-2 and investment income.
● Developed a tax-efficient withdrawal strategy for their deferred compensation plan.
Result: $14,500 in annual tax savings and a $5,200 refund from amended prior-year returns.
This case study is typical of the complex financial challenges faced by Sacramento’s high-income professionals. By focusing on the intersection of public sector finance, real estate, and investment income, we consistently find significant savings where generalist firms cannot.
