Vise Financial is a local CPA firm committed to our community. As a CPA born and raised in the Kansas City area, I feel a strong connection to this city.

I take deep pride in helping the individuals and businesses of this town succeed. I’m Justin Vise and after spending 20 years working at some of the largest firms in town, I decided to set out on my own for two primary reasons. First and foremost is my commitment to my family. With a wife and two beautiful little girls I adore, I made the personal decision to be more available for the people I love. Second was to provide the value and service that the citizens of this great city deserve. I created this firm with the sole purpose of helping business leaders and individuals be more confident in their CPA and take some of the worry and uncertainty about financial matters out of their already stressful lives. I have a commitment to reliability, integrity, and proactive communication that is unrivaled in the industry. I assure you that I will exceed your expectations.

Income investments can play a key role in a diversified portfolio, so it’s important to be aware of their tax treatment. Qualified dividends are taxed at favorable long-term capital gains tax rates. But interest income is generally taxed at ordinary income rates, which can be as high as 37%. So stocks that pay qualified dividends may be more attractive tax-wise than other income investments, such as CDs and taxable bonds. We can help assess the tax consequences of your investment strategy. Call us at .

Writing a comprehensive business plan is an absolute imperative when launching a business. But it’s also important for running one. Why? Because your business plan can help you see into the future. As long as it’s properly structured, adheres to sound strategies and contains accurate data, a business plan should spell out in black and white what your company will accomplish and how it will get there. Contact us at for help determining whether your business plan is still the crystal ball it needs to be.

Legislation in 2025 made 100% bonus depreciation permanent for businesses that purchase and place into service qualified new or used property after Jan. 19, 2025. However, when you file your 2025 income tax return, you can choose to use the old 40% bonus depreciation rate. Why would you do this? You may want to save more tax in 2025 than you would following normal depreciation but preserve some deductions for the future. For example, if you anticipate being in a higher tax bracket in 2026, deductions will be more valuable. Another reason is to prevent large net operating losses, which 100% bonus depreciation can create. Call us at for help determining which tax breaks will be most beneficial to claim on your 2025 return and which ones might make sense to forgo.

If you itemize deductions, you may be able to claim the medical expense deduction to the extent your eligible expenses exceed 7.5% of your adjusted gross income. This floor can be difficult to exceed, but “bunching” expenses into a single year instead of spreading them over two years can help. Of course, health comes first, so don’t delay essential care just to save taxes. Contact us at to discuss whether a bunching strategy could make sense for you.

Many businesses today outsource one or more of their IT functions to save money. Yet if you don’t manage the risks involved, you could end up spending more and getting less in return. For example, slow support times or services that don’t match your objectives or employees’ needs can undermine productivity. Contact us at for help evaluating a prospective IT outsourcing arrangement or assessing the ROI of an existing one.

The employer tax credit for paid family and medical leave has been made permanent. (It previously had been scheduled to expire Dec. 31, 2025.) The credit amount ranges from 12.5% to 25% of eligible wages paid to qualifying employees for up to 12 weeks of paid leave. Beginning in 2026, employers have the option to claim the credit for the same percentage of insurance premiums paid or incurred during the tax year for active family and medical leave coverage. You can’t claim the credit for both wages and premiums, however. Call us at to learn more. We can help evaluate your options and implement a leave program that complies with the IRS requirements for the credit.

It’s common for small businesses to work with friends, relatives and affiliated companies. After all, they can be loyal workers and trustworthy business partners. But if related-party transactions aren’t handled properly, they can distort financial results, affect loan eligibility and even trigger IRS scrutiny. We can help you identify and record these transactions at market terms. Proper documentation supports compliance and provides clearer insight into how these arrangements affect cash flow and profitability. Contact us at to keep your books accurate and transparent.

Have you considered an employee stock ownership plan (ESOP) for your business? An ESOP is a form of qualified retirement plan. More specifically, it’s a profit-sharing plan that allows employees to own shares of their employer’s company and cash in those shares when they retire or otherwise leave their jobs. Many small to midsize businesses have implemented ESOPs because of their exciting advantages. But ESOPs do present some hurdles to clear. Please contact us at to learn more about whether an ESOP might be right for you.

To make confident business decisions, you need a clear view of your cash position. The statement of cash flows reveals how money moves in and out of your business. It’s usually organized into three sections: 1) Cash flows from operations reflect day-to-day activity. 2) Cash flows from financing activities show how you use debt and equity to fund growth. 3) Cash flows from investing activities capture how you’re building for the future. Together, they tell the real story behind your numbers. We can help you interpret trends, spot risks and manage cash flow to strengthen your business strategy. Call us at to learn more.

Not everyone is eligible to make tax-deductible contributions to a traditional IRA. For example, for 2026, deduction eligibility for single taxpayers who also contribute to a workplace retirement plan, such as a 401(k) plan, phases out with income between $81,000 and $91,000. For joint filers, the phaseout range for a spouse who contributes to a work-based plan is $129,000 to $149,000. For a spouse who doesn’t contribute to a work-based plan, the phaseout range is $242,000 to $252,000. Also for 2026, Roth IRA contribution eligibility phases out as follows: $153,000 to $168,000 for single filers, $242,000 to $252,000 for joint filers, and $0 to $10,000 for married separate filers. Contact us at if you have questions.

Your first “real” job, living on your own, meeting new people … all of this can make young adulthood exciting but stressful. Accumulating a sizeable retirement nest egg doesn’t have to be. Contribute as much as you can (up to $24,500 in 2026) to your employer’s 401(k) plan. Then watch as time and the compounding power of reinvesting earnings do their work. The longer your time horizon, the better! Contact us at for more advice on planning for your financial future.
