At Colorado Wealth Group, we believe financial planning is about more than just investments—it’s about building a comprehensive strategy that helps you thrive today and into the future. That’s why we often recommend that our clients work closely with a Certified Public Accountant (CPA) as part of their financial team.
Whether you're a business owner, high-income professional, or simply trying to make the most of your money, having a CPA on your side can make a major difference. Here's why:
1. Tax Strategy, Not Just Tax Prep
Many people think of CPAs as the professionals you call in April to file your tax return. But a good CPA does much more than that—they help you strategize throughout the year. From identifying deductions and credits to advising on timing for income or major purchases, CPAs can help you legally reduce your tax burden and keep more of your hard-earned money.
2. Integrated Financial Planning
When your CPA and financial advisor work together, like at Colorado Wealth Group as we have a CPA on staff, you get a 360-degree view of your finances. Coordinated planning can optimize everything from retirement contributions and charitable giving to stock options and estate planning. It’s not about piecemeal advice—it’s about a cohesive, long-term plan.
3. Guidance Through Life Changes
Big life events—starting a business, getting married, receiving an inheritance, retiring—can dramatically change your tax situation. A CPA brings clarity during transitions, helping you avoid costly mistakes and take advantage of opportunities you may not know exist.
4. Business Owners: You're Leaving Money on the Table Without One
If you own a business, working with a CPA is practically essential. From choosing the right business structure and tracking expenses to managing payroll taxes and preparing for audits, a CPA can guide you through the complex landscape of business finances while helping you remain compliant and profitable.
5. Peace of Mind and Confidence
With ever-changing tax laws and increasing financial complexity, trying to go it alone can be stressful—and risky. Having a CPA gives you confidence that your finances are being handled professionally and accurately, and that you’re not missing out on valuable opportunities to save.
At Colorado Wealth Group, we help clients create peace of mind through personalized financial planning. We now have a CPA as part of our team to make sure your financial decisions are working together, not in silos. If you don’t already have a CPA—or if you’re unsure whether your current tax strategy is serving you well—we’re happy to help!
Let’s drive your financial future forward—together.
