Retirement plans are a tremendous responsibility for business owners.  Because the well-being of your employees and your business is at stake, working with trustworthy and experienced professionals is essential when planning for your employees’ futures. 

At DeLeon & Stang, our professionals can educate your employees about the plans, ultimately reducing the administrative burden for you and your staff.  Our well-trained professionals also ensure your plans remain compliant with constantly changing government regulations, meet testing requirements and fulfill reporting deadlines.

Financial Management

A full-service CPA firm will do more for your business than just accounting and taxes. CPAs can play an instrumental role in business improvement by implementing financial, cash and risk management strategies for your business, as well as assisting your business with organizational, production and human resource planning.

DeLeon & Stang has assisted hundreds of businesses in establishing and achieving their goals for growth and success. Our experience has promoted real, positive changes in many of our clients’ businesses. We’ve provided advice and direction to our clients, helping them meet their critical needs for achieving long term prosperity.

Succession Planning

There are many questions surrounding the succession of your business. At some point you will be ready to pass it to the next generation, sell or transition to key employees. The professionals at DeLeon & Stang can provide you with plans that will meet your specific objectives.

We have considerable experience helping business owners plan and implement succession decisions. As an unbiased outside advisor, we can assist you in evaluating alternative solutions and creating a succession plan that is appropriate for your unique situation.

Many company owners are in a high estate tax bracket. It is not unusual for heirs to sell the company in order to pay estate taxes and provide them with the types of assets they would prefer to inherit. Developing and carrying out an effective succession and estate plan will assure you that your business will have a long and prosperous future, and that all of your heirs will receive the financial security they deserve.

By tackling succession planning today, you can control the transition difficulties, which might delay or even preclude an orderly transition in the future. At DeLeon & Stang, we have a wealth of experience helping clients pass their businesses intact to their chosen successors.

Advisory Services

There is nothing more pivotal to your business success than your people. Whether you are creating an incentive plan or contemplating organizational changes, our professionals have the expertise to help you get ahead.  We offer a full set of ethics, governance management and human resource services.  At DeLeon & Stang, our team can assist your business in policy development, strategic planning and retreats.
