Take Full Advantage Of The Tax Code - And Stop Leaving Money On The Table

The tax code is the key to unlocking more wealth for you and your family.

But most business owners, attorneys, doctors, real estate investors, and accountants have a limited understanding how to navigate these complex and constantly shifting tax laws.

That’s where our team of dedicated professionals come in.

We’re on a mission to unlock the tax code and make tax reduction strategies work for you.

Your Taxes Are Optional

Affluent Americans in the 1% harness the power of the US tax code to build wealth.

You can too.

We'll show you how.

Grow Your Net Income

Traditional business advice prioritizes increasing topline revenue to boost profits…

But this approach is flawed - and the majority of businesses struggle to reach double-digit growth.
What if you could increase your net income without earning any extra revenue?
Unfortunately, most accountants and tax preparers don’t know how.

Have you ever felt your CPA is a compliance officer for the IRS?

Most try mitigate taxes at tax time, without considering what could’ve been done proactively to save you money.
When was the last time your tax consultant showed you a new idea to save or make you money?
That’s our passion at Financial Architects.

Experience the Financial Architects difference: forward-thinking, tax code experts with a proactive approach to reducing your tax liability.

Business Owners

Sell your business, pay far less tax, and maximize your profit.

Accounting Experts

Earn higher fees with strategies that 95% of CPAs don’t use.

High-Earning Doctors

Stop sending too much money to the IRS (it’s rightfully yours.)

Attorneys & Law Firms

Increase the value of your fees without charging $1 extra.

Real Estate Investors

Don’t let your property sale profit be devoured by taxes.

See How Other People Like You Have Reduced Their Taxes…

“Fix My Client’s Broken 1031! Please!”  

A CPA reached out for our help. His client had sold his property and was trying to buy an apartment building; the purchase fell through. The time window for harvesting the tax savings through the 1031 exchange was closing. That meant this real estate investor would be stuck with a very high tax bill for the sale of his property. The CPA asked, “Can you help fix this broken 1031?” We found a solution for this CPA and his client. 

Helped a Lawyer Decrease Taxes on Ordinary Income by $1.4M In a Single Tax Year  

We spoke with a frustrated lawyer. He said, “I work hard. Last year I earned more than $3 million. When my CPA told me I would pay almost half of that in taxes, I began to wonder whether it’s worth it. Is there anything you can do to lower my tax bill?” We were able to reduce this lawyer’s earned income from $3million to $500K. This resulted in significant tax saving.  

Helped Doctor Cut His Federal Taxes by $440K and His California State Taxes by $40K 

H, an orthopedic surgeon with a focus on personal injury generated $1.8M in annual income. He was feeling the tax pain. H worked with a CPA who came highly recommended by a colleague. H said to his CPA, “There must be something I can do to reduce my taxes.” His CPA reassured him that he was claiming all the legal deductions. H knew there must be a different way.  We created a comprehensive tax plan that cut his federal taxes by $440K and his California state taxes by $40K. Now this CPA sends other cases our way! 

Reducing Taxes by $26 Million When Selling a Business  

My client C worked diligently for years building his business manufacturing technology. Finally it was time to enjoy the fruits of his labors. He had a buyer willing to pay him $126 million for his business.  

His enthusiasm was dampened when his CPA told him how much he would owe in taxes. 

We created a comprehensive plan that resulted in $26 million in tax savings. This was $26 million more in his pocket.
