Profile

Mr. Kohman offers retirement and estate planning, business and individual tax preparation, accounting, business valuation and litigation support services to individual and business clients in many industries.  Since his initial certification as a CPA in 1984, he has obtained experience and knowledge that allows his clients realize significant savings of time, money and peace of mind.

Steven has maintained his designation as a certified specialist in estate planning since 1998. Through his education and experience in estate planning, he helps clients to transfer wealth to succeeding generations with maximum estate/gift tax savings through the use of retirement plan rollovers, Roth IRA conversions, various trusts, tax elections, will provisions, insurance and investment planning decisions. Appropriate analysis of the circumstances is made, including the available resources; general and specific risk factors; and the needs, desires and values of each client.

Through the use of specialized software, Steven works closely with retirement-minded clients to model financial plans to determine how their assets will provide for them throughout their lives and into successive generations. Reports generated in this process demonstrate the effects of certain retirement and estate planning decisions and help to formulate the most appropriate strategies.  Steven also prepares an assessment of how and when Roth IRAs and Roth IRA conversions can be used most effectively to increase wealth for the family.

Steven manages the tax matters for many of the firm's clients.  He prepares tax strategies and returns for families of working professionals, retirees, investors and business  owners.  Besides individual income tax returns, he prepares returns for trusts, estates, corporations, LLCs, partnerships, gifts and inheritances.  Special attention is paid to both near-term and long-term tax situations and anticipated changes in the tax laws to design and implement the most effective tax plans.
