Buena Vista Strategies

While our clients may span industries and neighborhoods, they have one thing in common: substantial tax savings that have had an incredible impact on their bottom line. Here's just a sampling of the savings some of our clients have realized. We will happily set up a conversation with any of our clients so you can get unfiltered, direct feedback on how small businesses like your own work with us. Roll over the underlined Client Descriptions for a first-person testimonial:

Client Description	Neighborhood	Employees	Savings
Bar and Lounge	Tenderloin	23	$58,000
"As a restaurant owner, who really has the time to get into the complexities of tax issues? I realize there's money out there, but the entire process can be pretty intimidating, and I don't want to undertake any risks that I can't justify. BVS understands all these things, which is why working with them is so easy. I was of the mind of, well, if you can show me some savings, with little commitment from me, then great. And they did. My commitment from a time perspective was minimal, and financially, there was zero risk. The return is huge, and it's ongoing." - A.L, General Manager
Executive Search Firm	SoMa	6	$16,000
"Given the kind of business we're in, and our location, I was actually surprised by the degree to which we were qualified - but they explained to us what was available in clear, simple, concise terms, and helped us save tens of thousands of dollars in the process. We just gave them the information and they did the rest. In fact, these credits have become a valuable piece of our planning process, since every quarter, every year, there are more credits to be had. We're at the stage now where our relationship with them is so seamless that we consider them part of our team. Highly recommended" -T.B., President
Clothing Manufacturer	SoMa	11	$12,000
Restaurant	Financial District	12	$35,000
"We weren't aware that we were qualified for a host of tax incentives until we talked to BVS. And when we told how much we could save, we were pretty shocked. It was one of those 'why hadn't we known about this?' moments. And obviously, for a business like us, the savings add up: you can hire more people, or retain people, or fast-cycling renovations - all sorts of things. It gives us a lot more flexibility and security, especially given the current economic climate. It was definitely a welcome surprise." -G.V, General Manager

It is common for some California business to generate tens, if not hundreds of thousands of dollars in tax credits they will never use due to a variety of factors affecting their tax liability. Yet many tax incentive consultants charge a fee for all credits discovered - even if the client never uses them. We're different. We're attuned to the financial constraints facing small Bay Area businesses, particularly during this difficult economic climate. Our clients only pay us for the credits they use.
