The professional accountants of Hogg, Shain & Scheck will assist you with the financial issues and tax implications of this complicated process, assuring that you have the information you need to make informed decisions about the best structure for your organization.

Corporate Reorganization

Internal reorganizations are initiated for a variety of reasons including the addition or loss of a shareholder, change in ownership structure, expanded or reduced business activities, or the creation or elimination of a holding company or trust. Our team of corporate and financial experts understands the tax implications of the choices you face and can identify the business structure that will improve efficiencies, increase profitability, and reduce tax liabilities.

To help select the best structure for your business we will:

  • Review the goals of restructure process
