A man had a major tax problem with his sports bar business. He approached his two friends who were CPA’s and asked if there was anything they could do about this nightmare of a situation he had on his hands. The two brothers, Dennis Lavin & James Lavin, were able to completely eliminate the problem and word got out. Soon more friends approached the brothers for help with their taxes and Lavin & Associates was born. L&A has always been a firm of friends and family. Which is why we strive to go above and beyond for our clients. Over the last 30 or so years we have saved our client family millions of dollars in tax liability and solved taxing authority inquiries and audits in the millions of dollars as well. Suffice to say, we know a few things about taxes and more importantly, not overpaying them.
Our work does not stop with taxes either. Our consulting has helped multiple small to medium sized businesses grow and multiple career men and women level up and retire early – before anticipated. There are so many different ways to play the game and we are there for our clients every step of the way. Clients have direct access to a CPA at any given moment. If you have a question or concern, we’re a text, email, phone call or FaceTime away – day or night.

The tax terminator himself. Listen, Terminator 2 is one of our favorite movies so of course we had to go there. As a CPA, he’s seen and done it all. Started in corporate America overseeing big operations for General Foods, Fox & Company CPAs, Eastern Lobby Shops, and Job Lot Pushcart. While there, that aforementioned friend approached him and he started Lavin & Associates as a result. Since then, Dennis has helped his clients save millions of dollars on taxes. He’s not one of those CPAs that simply fills out forms for you and sends you on your way. He’s the type thats there to help through many of his clients financial situations. Buying a new house, starting a business or side hustle, “how do I properly set this up?”, “should I buy this new property and put it on airbnb?” The insight is truly incredible and I don’t think you’ll find better. Maybe as good. But not better.

That’s me. I remember when I was 13 I used to bring my Playstation to my dad’s office and sit there all day playing video games on a Saturday during tax season while he worked. But one day I got bored and I always liked having money so I asked my father for a job . He gave me a simple tax return to prepare and of course being 13 with no experience I was completely lost. I came to him with a question and he replied “Take your time and figure it out.” Slightly ridiculous to tell a 13 year old to figure out a tax return. I mean have you seen tax returns? Endless forms of “WHAT IS GOING ON HERE?!” But this wound up being a lesson and proved to be one of the most valuable I’d ever learn. Teaching me to “figure it out” has helped me to go on and start multiple businesses of my own that are now very successful. So many crazy situations that I had to… figure it out. These businesses have
done multiple 7 figures a year in top line revenue. Profitable too. I have come to really fall in love with investing and doing business as a whole. I’ve got multiple units on airbnb. I play the stock market and crypto. I’ve got a decent grasp I’d say. And now, I’m here to help L&A’s clients as an added bonus.
