Why InTandem
When your CPA and Financial Advisor see only a slice of your financial picture, there’s a disconnect. It’s often up to you to bridge the gap, which can drain your time and cause tax inefficiencies. This is not how the mega wealthy are managed, and it’s not how someone as successful as you should be either.
We started InTandem because we knew integrating wealth and tax was the better way. A way for you to reduce your tax burden. A way for you to be strategically positioned to invest wiselorry less about your finances.
We built a team of Financial Advisors and tax experts who work together on your behalf. By offering equal parts wealth and tax, we bring combined experience and knowledge to your situation. This also means you no longer have the hassle of coordinating with multiple professionals in different office locations.
Instead, you work with one integrated wealth and tax team that considers all aspects of your financial and tax situations. Our goals for you: Less tax. More investment opportunities.
