Why Strategic Accounting Method Selection Matters

The wrong choice costs real money and limits your growth options

The Cost of Reactive Decisions

  • 20-30% higher costs for emergency conversions with rush fees and Form 3115 complications

  • $20,000+ annually in missed tax opportunities from being locked into suboptimal methods for 5 years
