Who we are
At Swiech Consulting LLC, we believe tax services should go far beyond simply filing a return. Too often, we see a troubling trend:
Many CPA firms are moving away from preparing individual returns, leaving those nearing or in retirement with less experienced tax preparers — exactly when they need strategic guidance the most.
Business owners frequently struggle to get timely advice from their accountant, leaving them uncertain and worried they’re paying more in taxes than they should.
We do things differently.
For individuals, we focus on helping you plan ahead so you can keep more of what you’ve worked so hard to earn. That means taking the time to look at your whole tax picture — from retirement income and Social Security to investment withdrawals — and helping you make informed, confident decisions.
For business owners, we act as a true partner — a resource you can rely on throughout the year, not just at tax time. We help you stay ahead of tax deadlines, think strategically about your business structure, and create a plan that aligns with both your business and personal financial goals.
We also understand that every situation is unique, which is why we offer tailored packages based on the level of support you need. Whether you’re looking for annual filing, proactive tax planning, or ongoing consultation, our goal is to simplify your financial life and give you clarity and confidence in your decisions.
