Janathan Allen is an experienced tax attorney and business lawyer who integrates business, legal, tax and accounting strategies to provide her clients with better answers to their questions and more informed strategies to leverage their opportunities. Most businesses have separate tax attorneys, business attorneys, CPAs and accountants, tax preparers and financial advisors. If you take the same problem to each professional, they will provide what they genuinely believe is the right and best answer. However, it will only be based upon their unique (and somewhat limited) perspective. The business attorney will have no idea how the solution they are recommending impacts business operations or your accounting systems. The financial planner has no idea how their recommendation may be impacted by interstate or international tax implications. This is the genuine value of the integrated approach Janathan Allen and Allen Barron take when they work with you as a client on any challenge or opportunity.
