Diligent. Responsive. Proactive. The professionals at HORNE LLP are your trusted team for tax services in a world where every business decision you make has an impact on your tax situation. Where tax rules become more complex every year. And savings opportunities are often challenging to seize.

The HORNE Advantage

HORNE not only provides comprehensive tax services at the international, federal, state and local levels, we take the time to understand your business—to anticipate your needs, help you reach your goals and build peace of mind about your financial future. This is far more value than a basic tax services provider can offer. But it’s exactly what you’ll find at HORNE.

Business Tax Services

With our depth of resources and highly credentialed staff, HORNE has the capabilities to meet your needs and help you achieve the best possible outcome from your tax situation. Let our helpful, proactive team improve your operations with a customized tax strategy that aligns with your business needs.

Our business tax services include:

• Tax Consulting and Compliance
  HORNE prepares federal, state and local tax returns. However, HORNE provides far more than basic tax services. Our professionals provide proactive advice to our clients to help them navigate through increasingly complex tax rules and regulations. We also provide a valuable depth of insight with our expertise in a number of specific industries and specialties.
• State and local tax services
  (Credits and incentives, property tax, sales and use tax, unclaimed property, income and franchise tax)
  As the taxing regimens of state and local jurisdictions become more complex, HORNE remains a step ahead, providing our clients with forward-looking, value-added tax services and solutions to minimize the impact of higher tax burdens.

The professionals at HORNE can provide these services so that companies may take full advantage of the incentives available for hiring new employees.

  When companies seek to expand or reach their competitive advantage, they sometimes look at mergers or restructuring. The experienced professionals at HORNE bring added value to the transaction process through due diligence, transaction structuring and post-transaction integration services.

  HORNE provides this strategic analysis to companies that have constructed, bought, expanded or remodeled business property. It not only increases cash flow but also maximizes the net value of current tax savings by accelerating depreciation-related tax deductions.
