At Gibson LeClair, LLC our philosophy is to do more than just prepare the tax return. We use the tax return as a basis to recommend tax saving strategies, to help our clients to understand the results and most importantly to plan for future tax filings. We will also contact clients when we note missing data by comparison to prior year's returns and by using our knowledge of our clients. The firm prepares tax filings for individuals, small businesses, fiduciaries and nonprofit organizations. We pride ourselves on preparing returns at the least possible cost, in terms of both actual taxes and professional fees. Our staff receives ongoing education to ensure that they have the breadth and depth of knowledge to ensure compliance with the ever-changing and ever-challenging Internal Revenue Code. We work for our clients by sorting through all of the changes that the federal and state governments make to the tax codes to ferret out the parts that benefit our clients and communicate those to individuals and businesses so they can take advantage of the tax savings. We currently subscribe to several different tax research services so we are able to provide solid advice on complex tax matters.

We provide tax planning and advisory services to assist our clients in structuring transactions, from business start-ups to ownership changes (whether to the next generation or the next owner) to purchases of equipment and everything in between. Making a big financial decision and you would like to get a second opinion? Give us a call, we can help.

We also represent our clients before the Internal Revenue Service and Maine Revenue Services in the event of an audit or other correspondence. We work with our clients to quickly and efficiently resolve these inquiries to minimize the disruption to our clients.
