How to Make Career-Long Money Moves For A Rewarding Retirement

Keeping finances in order and staying compliant can be challenging for professional athletes. Contracts and compensation may change rapidly and living expenses can be fluid as well – not to mention how all of these changes affect their overall tax burden. Professional athletes need a trusted and experienced accountant in their corner to help them keep their financial house in order. We have compiled a list of the top ten accounting tasks that those working in pro sports should have executed on a regular basis either for themselves or as an agent acting on behalf of a client. All of these services not only help secure and sustain wealth but also assist athletes with tax compliance needs that are often complex and ever-changing.

1. Proactive tax planning
2. Asset protection planning
3. SALT planning and compliance
4. Bill pay
5. Budgeting

7. IRS and state examination assistance
8. Cash management
