Vise Financial

Vise Financial 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.

Taxpayers involved in a dispute with the IRS may want to consider using one of the IRS’s alternative dispute resolution (ADR) mediation programs. These programs can help taxpayers efficiently resolve tax issues with the IRS. Taxpayers for whom mediation can be a good option include those who don’t have many disputed issues or who’re seeking an early resolution to issues under audit. Mediation doesn’t replace the audit or collection processes. The IRS’s Independent Office of Appeals has five ADR programs: Fast Track Settlement, Fast Track Mediation Collection, Post Appeals Mediation, the Rapid Appeals Process and Early Referral. Call us at for details if you have a tax dispute with the IRS.

Investors willing to make long-term investments in economically distressed communities have a tax incentive for doing so: the Qualified Opportunity Zone (QOZ) program. It allows investors to defer the tax (and potentially ultimately reduce it) on recognized capital gains by reinvesting those gains in Qualified Opportunity Funds (QOFs) that, in turn, invest in QOZs. The IRS has issued guidance on two QOZ program-related provisions of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act: the definition of “rural area” and the application of the substantial improvement threshold for certain improvements to property in a QOZ located entirely in a rural area. Contact us at for more information.

Tax penalties can feel like dragging a ball and chain. They may happen even when you’ve done your best to comply with tax law. Don’t panic. Penalty relief may be available. For example, if you suffered a serious illness, were a victim of a natural disaster, or relied on bad advice from the IRS, you may qualify for penalty abatement. A penalty may arise from actions such as filing late, making a late tax payment or missing a deposit. If you receive an IRS notice that you think is incorrect or unjust, you don’t have to tackle it alone. Contact us at for help with this matter.

You may want to offer employees a retirement savings plan, but they can be expensive and complex. What’s a small business owner to do? Consider a simplified employee pension (SEP). They’re easy to set up and administer. Requirements are minimal: All workers must be eligible to participate, and your contributions can’t discriminate in favor of highly compensated employees. In 2025, you can contribute up to $70,000 (or up to 25% of compensation) to a worker’s SEP account and deduct the contributions. Contact us at for details about this and other retirement plan options.

Wage garnishment can be tough. It allows creditors to collect a debt by legally withholding a portion of an employee’s paycheck, but it comes with limits and employee protections. Garnishments are often triggered by government debts such as child support, student loans, tax levies, or court judgments. Before withholding can begin, you must be notified of the order to withhold. Some portion of your wages must be exempt per state law. If you’re hit with a garnishment order you believe is incorrect or unfair, you have the right to challenge it.

Does your business incur research and experimentation (R&E) expenses? The One, Big, Beautiful Bill Act reinstates the immediate deduction for research activities conducted in the United States, beginning in 2025. Before the new law was enacted, R&E expenses had to be capitalized and amortized over five years, beginning on or after Jan. 1, 2022. What if you began to amortize R&E expenses in 2022, 2023 and/or 2024? You can deduct the remaining amount on your 2025 return or split it between your 2025 and 2026 returns, rather than continuing to amortize over what remains of the five-year period. Contact us at with questions.

But if mortgage interest provides an income tax advantage or you need to prioritize paying off other, high-interest debt, you may want to hold on to your mortgage. Contact us at . We can help you weigh the pros and cons.

College costs like tuition, books, computers and, generally, room and board have long qualified for tax-free 529 plan withdrawals, with no annual limit. For elementary and secondary school expenses, the limit has been $10,000 per year per student, with only tuition qualifying. Starting with expenses incurred after July 4, 2025, additional K–12 expenses like books and instructional materials also qualify, with the cap increasing to $20,000 per year in 2026. Also effective after July 4, 2025, certain credentialing programs qualify. Call us at to discuss how to make the most of 529 plans.

If you own a life insurance policy, a portion of its proceeds could be lost to estate tax if your estate exceeds the gift and estate tax exemption amount. If you don’t own the policy, the proceeds won’t be included in your taxable estate. Using an irrevocable life insurance trust (ILIT) can keep life insurance policies out of your estate. An ILIT owns one or more policies on your life, and it manages and distributes policy proceeds according to your wishes. You aren’t allowed to retain any powers over the policy, such as the right to change the beneficiary. Contact us at for details.
