December 17, 2025

As 2025 comes to a close, businesses and individuals face a tax environment defined by heightened complexity and rapid change, driven largely by the mid-year enactment of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA). This landmark legislation has reshaped planning strategies around depreciation, capital investments, and qualified business deductions, requiring taxpayers to reassess decisions already made while identifying time-sensitive opportunities before year-end. In this climate, effective tax planning goes beyond compliance—it demands proactive, strategic action to manage risk, optimize cash flow, and position for both immediate and long-term tax efficiency.
