Proactive Tax Strategy

Year-round planning — not just April. Your tax picture coordinated with your investment decisions before the year closes, not after.

02

CFO-Level Oversight

Cash flow, reporting, banking, and M&A advisory — senior financial leadership on your terms without the full-time cost.

03

True Coordination

When your CPA and your wealth advisor operate in sync — the same client, the same table, the same direction — the difference is tangible.

Our Philosophy

Financial advice is only as good as its coordination.

Most clients work with a CPA and a financial advisor who never speak to one another. The CPA handles the return. The advisor manages the portfolio. Neither knows what the other is doing — and the client bears the cost of that silence.

The result is strategies that look sound in isolation but leak real value at the seams: retirement distributions that trigger unnecessary taxes, Roth conversions timed without regard to the actual tax calendar, estate plans that ignore cost basis, business transitions with no proactive tax structure.

There is a better way. And it already exists — for clients who have access to it.

“Taxes make money go around. When a CPA and a financial advisor are truly coordinated, the client wins in ways that neither professional could deliver alone.”

On Coordinated Financial Advisory

“I don't think I'm that traditional CPA that just cranks out returns. I want to know what value a CPA can bring from May to December — to individuals, to business owners, to the people who actually need someone paying attention.”

— Samuel E. Genetti, CPA, MSA

What Coordination Changes

When your CPA and your advisor are actually talking

Six places where coordinated advice quietly produces a materially better result — and where uncoordinated advice quietly leaks value year after year.

01

Tax-Aware Investment Decisions

Investment decisions are made with full visibility into your tax situation — not discovered at filing. Harvesting losses, timing gains, and structuring distributions happen with purpose.

02

Roth Conversions Done Right

Conversions timed to your actual marginal rate each year — not generic rules of thumb. The difference between a good Roth strategy and a great one is knowing your real tax picture in October, not April.

03

Retirement Income That Lasts

After-tax cash flow maximized across Social Security, RMDs, qualified charitable distributions, and portfolio distributions — all planned together, not in sequence.

04

Estate Plans That Hold

Coordinated across your CPA, advisor, and attorney — with no gaps between disciplines. Basis tracked. Gifting structured. The plan built to survive the moment it matters most.

05

Business Transitions Without Surprise

Entity structure, sale structure, and tax consequence understood before the deal closes — not after. The tax tail doesn't wag the business dog when your CPA is in the room from the start.

06

One Accountable Relationship

Not two professionals who occasionally email each other. One integrated team that holds the complete picture year-round, reaches out proactively, and shows up when it counts.

About

Samuel E. Genetti

CPA, MSA · Michigan Licensed · Founder

“I didn't leave the CFO seat to prepare returns. I left to be the advisor I always wished my clients had — someone who is proactive, present, and genuinely invested in what happens between January and December.”

Sam's background spans public accounting at large practices, hands-on experience as Controller of a mid-sized company, and serving as a financial officer for labor unions in the Detroit area, in addition to graduate work at Walsh College. That combination of public accounting and operational finance gives him an uncommon perspective: he understands the technical answer and the business context behind it.

He founded Genetti Tax & CFO Solutions to give individuals and business owners access to the kind of advisory relationship that used to be reserved for large companies — proactive, relationship-driven, and built around their actual life and what they truly need.

Discovery Consultation

No pressure. No pitch. A direct conversation about your situation, your goals, and where the gaps exist in your current financial picture.

02

Full Assessment

We review your financials, tax history, entity structure, and investment picture to identify what is working and what is being left on the table.

03

Integrated Strategy

A unified tax and wealth roadmap — coordinated with your financial advisor, prioritized by impact, and built to be executed, not filed away.

04

Ongoing Relationship

Mid-year check-ins, proactive tax updates, joint advisor meetings when needed, and a direct line to someone who knows your complete picture.

The Vision

A new standard for what coordinated financial advice actually looks like.

The best financial outcomes happen when the people responsible for your money are working from the same information, toward the same goals, at the same time. Not in sequence. Not in silos. Together — in the room, on the phone, and at the table when it matters most.

This is the practice Genetti Tax & CFO Solutions was built to be. High-touch. Relationship-driven. Genuinely invested in the people we serve — not just in April, but every month of the year.
