McLean, VA · Local advisory
McLean and Great Falls are home to corporate executives, business owners, senior federal officials and established families. Our advisors handle their income, investment and estate tax planning, and represent them before the IRS.
What we handle
Many McLean households combine high salaries and equity awards, closely held businesses, investment portfolios and real estate. Coordinating the 3.8% net investment income tax, Virginia income tax, charitable giving and the federal estate and gift tax exemption makes a real difference to what families keep.
Owners of companies based in Tysons and along the Dulles corridor also need entity and compensation planning, the Virginia pass-through entity election and succession planning. We advise on all of it and represent clients when the IRS examines a return.
