Twenty high-earning owners across professions, run through the same engine as the Tax Strategy Finder under 2026 federal law. Strategies that cost more than they save are dropped before anything is shown. In every plan here, the owner keeps about five dollars of tax savings for every dollar of fee, and many build six figures of wealth in their own accounts.
The full playbookEvery strategy, one owner: a $1.1M practice
S corporation, age 52, $600k payroll, two children, owns a $1.5M building, gives $25,000 a year. Each strategy is added in order and kept only if it pays for itself.

Illustrative composites of high-earning owners in each profession, not clients, and not a promise of any result. Federal income and payroll tax only, married filing jointly, 2026 law; owners in states with an income tax save more. The building lever is a one-time timing benefit from cost segregation. "Moved to your accounts" is retirement and HSA money that stays yours. "Net cash" is tax saved minus strategy costs and the fixed fee. Fees are fixed and quoted before work begins; they never depend on the result. Prepared by Ebot Mbi, CPA, EA, ebotCPA PLLC, Irving, Texas.
