Planning & Tax
Tax Planningin Scottsdale, AZ
Tax planning in Scottsdale is coordinated with the rest of the household plan, not a once-a-year scramble. We look at tax-advantaged accounts and taxable accounts together so contributions and withdrawals are not working against each other.
A plan is the difference between hoping the numbers work and knowing they do. We model your full financial architecture — the second home, the tuition, the sabbatical, the liquidity event — before you commit to any of it, and update it as life moves the pieces. It is the document every other decision is measured against, and it is yours to keep whether or not we ever manage a dollar for you.
What it covers
Inside tax planning
- A complete balance sheet and multi-decade cash-flow projection
- Education funding modeled by school, by child, by year
- Major-purchase and property decisions stress-tested before you sign
- Liquidity-event planning for a sale, an inheritance, or a windfall
- Insurance and risk gaps identified without a product to sell you
- A living plan, revisited as your life and the law change
How it works
From first conversation to standing stewardship.
- 01
Gather the whole picture
Accounts, property, debts, benefits, and goals — we build one balance sheet where today only fragments exist.
- 02
Model the decades
A year-by-year projection shows whether the plan holds through good markets and bad, and where the pressure points sit.
- 03
Pressure-test the big moves
Before the second home or the early retirement, we run it through the model so you commit with evidence, not optimism.
- 04
Keep it alive
A plan on a shelf is worthless. We revisit yours on a schedule and whenever life hands you a new variable.

Questions
On tax planning.
What happens in the first consultation, and what does it cost?
Ninety minutes, two senior advisors, no charge and no obligation. We ask about your family, your balance sheet, and what the money is for. If we can help, we say how and exactly what it costs. If we can’t, we say that too, and suggest who can.
Is there a minimum to work with Stine Wealth Management?
Most client families bring $1 million or more in investable assets, because our service model is senior-advisor time, and that time is capped per advisor. For situations below that — often the next generation of current clients — we offer a standalone written plan from .
Who will I actually work with over time?
The senior team you meet in the first conversation. Every household is served by two named senior advisors, and reviews are attended by both. We cap relationships per advisor precisely so this never quietly degrades.
The first conversation costs nothing. Clarity rarely does again.
