What We
Stand For
Tax strategy and planning are essential to business success and evolution.
Johnson Lambert’s specialized tax services designed for each of the three industries we serve — insurance entities, nonprofit organizations, and employee benefit plans — factor in each sector’s unique tax needs, challenges, and opportunities.
With ever-changing tax policy and legislation, our tax team’s deep focus on specific types of organizations enables more timely services, a more customized approach, and dynamic and collaborative conversations with tax professionals who closely monitor the laws and regulations that directly impact your operations and tax strategy.
High quality service and a high quality experience are quintessential to all Johnson Lambert services; this is demonstrated in the tax practice through diligent project management and project planning, ongoing conversations with our clients to maintain an open dialogue around known or potential tax issues, and our firm’s proprietary and easy-to-understand tax workpapers.
The Johnson Lambert tax team spends time learning and understanding your organization today and where you want to be in the future so that we can support your goals, explain and guide on any potential tax ramifications, and together design the optimal tax strategy.
Engagement Collaboration
Whether you engage Johnson Lambert for both audit and tax or work with Johnson Lambert as your distinct tax solutions provider, we have the approach, tools, and technology to deliver an efficient and collaborative tax engagement.
Tax Specialist
The Johnson Lambert tax team serves a significant portfolio of clients who are not also audit and attestation clients. This bifurcation of services serves some organizations well or is required in some instances, but in no way does it limit our ability to provide efficient, timely, and multidimensional tax services.
We proactively communicate with our clients and any of their partners, and we work together for a seamless experience.
One-Stop Shop
Johnson Lambert tax + audit teams work in tandem when we are engaged for comprehensive services and solutions. When working with synergistic tax + audit teams, our clients gain efficiencies in both engagements as the Johnson Lambert teams coordinate to avoid duplicate requests or efforts on our clients’ behalf.
Often the various perspectives and expertise from the combined Johnson Lambert audit + tax teams paired with the knowledge and hard work of our client contacts result in various benefits to our clients.
