Frequently asked questions
Questions from Verdi families.
- What should I discuss at intake?
- Describe your personal or business tax question, proposed transaction, and deadlines. Identify states connected to your residence, assets, or business so the scope can be clarified.
- What records help with a planning review?
- Bring recent returns, financial summaries, ownership documents, and relevant agreements. Include notices you received and any advice already provided by an accountant or other professional.
- Can I discuss a transaction before completing it?
- Yes. Provide the proposed terms, timing, and your goals. Reviewing the details first can help identify questions that should be answered before you proceed.
