The Butalias.

A household that runs four businesses

Most families have one set of taxes to worry about. The Butalias have a software consulting practice, a dance company, a photography business and a publishing house — plus their own returns at home.

Butalia Media holds the first three under one creative roof; Masala Writers is their book-publishing house. Each venture earns and spends in its own way — and every one of them runs through the same kitchen table.

Why one team matters

When one family owns several businesses, a decision in one shows up in the others — how income is split, what gets expensed where, how much to set aside each quarter. Handled by separate preparers, those connections get missed.

With Sharma Tax, one team sees the whole picture: each venture’s books, each business return, and the founders’ personal returns that all of it flows into. [Details to confirm with the family — e.g. bookkeeping, quarterly estimates, planning conversations.]

What’s next

Rena and Manav are next. Before long they’ll be filing their first returns — with the same people who do their parents’. That’s the kind of client relationship we built this practice for.
