Tax Planning

 

Every artist's situation requires a  thoughtful, individualized approach.  Most CPAs don't understand the  business of art.  The result is that many artists are missing out on  counsel and strategies that would help them.

The  partners of Walters & Sklyar LLP have been serving the creative  community for a number of years and have developed a thorough  understanding of the special issues that impact artists. Currently, we  are working with over 100 artists through every financial and tax aspect  of their career.

Don't wait for another year of missed  deductions, unnecessarily high taxes, or worse. After all, you’ve worked  hard getting where you are today.  Let us work for you.  It does not  matter if you are an early stage artist, emerging artist, or an  established artist, we have the necessary expertise to manage your  financial needs and bring professional resources to the table for each  growth phase.
