A retirement-planning review for a family-run cleaning business

A $2M commercial cleaning company where her husband and her son are the only other people on payroll.

Annual revenue described
$2 million
Tax savings reported
$40,000
Family members on payroll
Owner, spouse and son

The situation

The advisor describes a profitable commercial cleaning business with family members on payroll and limited retirement savings. The owner wanted to review the tax bill while building assets outside the business.

What the advisor describes

  • Review payroll, compensation and retirement-plan design for the owner and eligible employees.
  • Compare the funding commitment with the potential tax benefit and the business’s cash needs.
  • The supplied case narrative also describes reviewing rental-property depreciation.

Where it left them

The advisor reports $40,000 in tax savings following the planning review. This figure is an advisor-reported outcome, not an independently verified result or a forecast for another owner.

Important context and limitations

Family payroll alone does not establish eligibility for an owner-only 401(k). Plan coverage, contribution limits and tax treatment require professional review. Contributions are not dollar-for-dollar tax savings; the projected $3 million reserve is not a completed result.
