    Advanced Equity Strategies

    Built for Equity-Heavy Professionals

    Diversify Without a Giant Tax Bill

    Use Exchange Funds to reduce single-stock concentration while deferring capital gains taxes. Rebalance intelligently, without triggering a massive tax event.

    Sell During Blackout Periods, Legally

    Set up 10b5-1 trading plans to automate stock sales, even during restricted windows. Execute diversification on your schedule, not the company's.

    Optimize Large Capital Gains

    Use strategic timing and tools like CRTs (Charitable Remainder Trusts) to reduce the tax impact of major liquidity events. Keep more of what you earn.

    RSU & ESPP Expertise

    We reconcile W-2 and 1099-B reporting, prevent double taxation, optimize tax lots grant-by-grant, and handle ESPP lookback calculations. Every vest is accounted for correctly.

    Multi-State Filing

    Moved mid-year? Working remotely? We allocate income accurately across states, avoiding costly overpayments or compliance risks.

    Foreign Reporting & Cross-Border Compliance

    From FBAR to FATCA to foreign investments, we ensure proper disclosures and minimize risk. Stay compliant across jurisdictions.

    "I had a great experience working with Danish and the Lesser Tax team to file my 2024 taxes. They were incredibly responsive and took the time to answer all my questions thoroughly. One of the standout aspects was the expert review after I had input all my information. I highly recommend Lesser Tax if you're a self-employed freelancer or need reliable support for your business taxes."

What really stood out was how they took the time to explain everything and gave me practical tips to plan my income better and save on taxes. It didn't feel like a one-time service — they helped me think long-term."
