Seattle, WA (PRWEB) October 11, 2012

SmallBusinessTaxes.com, an expert business tax preparation and consulting firm announces a strategic partnership with BusinessPlanning.org, a site focused on expert business planning support for small and medium businesses. The partnership will help expand and fill desperately needed gaps within both firms, allowing for an increase in available resources and tools for clients across the corporate spectrum.

The strategic partnership has been built on the understanding that great consulting is a healthy meld of marketing, finance, accounting and strategy. Luckily, the agreement between SmallBusinessTaxes.com and BusinessPlanning.org works to attain a proper meld. Understanding the financial, accounting and tax nuances in a particular field, niche or industry is extremely helpful for anyone looking to plan their next business venture, says expert tax planner Will Clive. Having strategic planners work directly with tax and bookkeeping experts will provide business owners with an excellent combination for success in their small businesses.

In addition, each company will utilize the relationship for strategic referrals and leads, allowing for cross-pollination and growth. While the partnership is non-exclusive, it is expected the partnership will help in the growth and expansion of both companies. Each client company will also benefit from working directly with experienced business professionals with the abilities and time-tested expertise from which to draw.

While SmallBusinessTaxes.com hopes to shore up marketing, writing and strategy professionals at BusinessPlanning.org also hope added help in finance, accounting and business tax issues, like tax increases and changes in tax policy which could have a significant impact on business. The upcoming fiscal cliff is one such drastic tax change which SmallBusinessTaxes.com intends to help. As the fiscal cliff looms before us, there must be pragmatist business services professionals present, prepared to offer up expert business advice for avoiding potentially damaging tax obligations in the near future, says Clive.

Both company hopes to help in the introduction of new businesses opportunities as well, opening up options for growth in strategic areas. Newbie entrepreneurs and seasoned business professionals alike can benefit from the services the companies have partnered to provide for their clients.
