How Virtual Counsel Saved Over $220K in Taxes—and Took Control of Their Financials

Virtual Counsel is a legal firm for fast-moving businesses. They help startups and growth-stage companies handle legal complexity with simplicity. But like many professional service firms crossing into the seven-figure range, their back office was holding them back.

Their legal game was elite. Their tax strategy? Nonexistent.

That’s where we stepped in.

The Problem: No Strategy, No Savings

When Virtual Counsel came to us, they were profitable—but exposed.

  • High income, but no entity strategy
  • No proactive tax planning
  • Bookkeeping was functional, not strategic
  • No reporting tied to decisions

They were filing taxes. But they weren’t doing anything to reduce them.

The Fix: Real Structure, Not Just Compliance

We didn’t just tidy up their books. We rebuilt their financial foundation with scale and tax efficiency in mind.

Here’s what we did:

  • Reorganized their entity structure to reduce self-employment tax
  • Implemented advanced tax strategies for immediate and future savings
  • Built real-time financial visibility into key metrics
  • Created a strategic roadmap for profitability, cash flow, and future planning

This wasn’t a cleanup. It was a financial transformation.

The Results: $220K+ in Tax Savings—and a Strategic Finance Engine

In less than two years, Virtual Counsel saved over $220,000 in taxes.

But just as important, they moved from reactive to proactive. From tax season panic to year-round clarity.

They now have:

  • A financial system designed for scalability
  • Reporting that helps guide decisions
  • Strategic tax planning built into operations

They don’t just practice law. They now run a firm positioned to grow and exit like a real business.
