Coordinating Your Business Financial Professionals

It’s vital for a person to coordinate all their financial, tax, legal, and insurance needs and professionals – and the same is true for any business. 

At Lineweaver Financial Group and LFG Tax, we help clients with, payroll, tax issues, bookkeeping, tax planning, and everything a business needs to do to make sure they’re being compliant and withholding and paying their employees and associated taxes. And with some clients, we can use the ADP platform as a way to help scale our effectiveness. 
For example, we can use ADP’s systems and software to offer additional services to clients, like HR services and human capital solutions, benefits administration, and even pre-employment services, which helps us scale to a company’s needs and helps us to be effective at a company of 1 or 1,000. 

These services can save real time and money for businesses. According to PR Newswire, companies often spend several days of work each month and thousands in administration expenses, depending on the company’s size.

In addition to those services offered through LFG tax and our relationships with companies like ADP, we offer 401k and retirement planning services that can be coordinated with your payroll provider. 

Having the right retirement plan is more important than ever. In the challenging labor market we’ve seen over the last year, a properly customized retirement plan and the other benefits your company offers can help you recruit top talent.  As part of our coordinated services, we can provide a dedicated fiduciary who can oversee these benefits.
Not only can we put together solutions to help you and your employees maximize their retirement savings, but LWA has gone through the rigorous CEFEX Certification. Working with us, you’ll partner with Accredited Investment Fiduciaries who carry fiduciary responsibility for our clients, helping mitigate some of your fiduciary liability. 

We also work with many business owners and executives to add profit sharing and cash balance plans to attract key employees and help employers and business owners put more pre-tax money away for retirement.

If you need help or want to learn more about the coordinated services we can provide you and your company, give us a call. Our whole team is here to help.

Why Investment and Tax Advice Must Work Together

Posted By Lineweaver Financial Group
February 17, 2026 Category: Investment Management, Tax Management, Tax Investment Strategy

Written by Mark Sipos, LFG Tax Director One of the most common breakdowns in financial planning happens quietly when investment strategy and tax strategy operate in silos. You can receive solid advice from both your financial advisor and your tax professional. However, if those two sides are not coordinated, the outcome is often far less efficient than many people realize. True planning happens when investments and taxes are aligned in real time, not after the fact. Tax-Loss Harvesting: Simple in Theory, Complex in Practice Take tax-loss harvesting as an example. On paper, it sounds straightforward. Realize losses to offset gains. In practice, execution and timing matter greatly. If investment trades are not coordinated with the broader tax plan, you can inadvertently trigger wash sales, mistime losses, or generate deductions that do not get fully utilized. What appears to be a tax-saving strategy can lose much of its benefit without proper coordination. Roth Conversions and Income Planning Roth conversions are another area where integration is critical. Deciding how much income to recognize in a given year affects more than just the current tax bill. It influences portfolio positioning, capital gains exposure, Medicare premiums, and overall risk management. If tax planning and investment management are not aligned, it is possible to unintentionally push someone into a higher tax bracket or create avoidable tax consequences. The strategy may be sound in isolation b
