Stay ahead of a changing tax environment
Improve profitability with the right strategy
Fix problems before they become a crisis
Tax advisors who know what a service-trade P&L actually looks like.
Most contractors hand their books to a generalist accountant who's never seen a burdened labor-rate, a WIP schedule, or a flat-rate pricing model. They file the return and move on. You get no planning, no strategy, and no early warning when something's going sideways.
RDH brings 30+ years of service-trade financial experience to your tax work - so we're not learning your business on your dime. We review your previous returns before we touch anything. We know where the money leaks in trades work. And we run your tax strategy alongside your CFO work, so the two aren't operating in silos.

What makes trade contractor tax work different
Vehicle & equipment depreciation that actually reflects how trades businesses use assets
Inventory and parts - knowing what's deductible, when, and how to document it
WIP and retainage - revenue recognition handled correctly so you're not over-taxed on work not yet paid
Multi-trade entities - the right structure when you run electrical, HVAC, and plumbing under one roof
Subcontractor vs. employee classification - getting it right before the IRS does it for you
Section 179 & bonus depreciation on trucks, tools, and equipment
Tax and CFO work - running together, not in silos.
When your tax advisor and your fractional CFO are the same team, your financial statements, cash forecasts, and tax strategy are built on the same numbers. No reconcilling two different pictures of your business. No surprises in April because your CFO and your accountant weren't talking.
