Mid-Sized Businesses

Mid-sized businesses often find themselves in a difficult position when it comes to professional tax and advisory services. They have outgrown the capabilities of a generalist CPA but may not need -- or want to pay for -- the full suite of services offered by a large national or regional firm. The result is a gap: sophisticated needs without a cost-effective partner to address them. Lanphier LLP was built to fill that gap.

We serve as a strategic complement to your existing financial infrastructure. Whether your company already works with a larger audit or tax firm, or whether you have an internal accounting team that needs outside expertise for specialized matters, Lanphier LLP brings deep knowledge in areas that most firms either cannot offer or charge a premium for. Our partners trained at Deloitte and bring that Big 4 caliber of expertise to every engagement, but at fee levels that reflect the efficiency and low overhead of a boutique practice.

Specialty Areas for Mid-Sized Companies

Our strength lies in the areas that require genuine depth of expertise. For mid-sized companies in Denver and throughout Colorado, the areas we are most frequently engaged for include international tax planning and compliance, IRS controversy representation and audit defense, multi-state tax planning and nexus analysis, M&A tax due diligence, cost segregation studies, research and development tax credits, and executive compensation planning. These are not general practice areas -- they require specialized knowledge and experience that most mid-market firms simply do not have in-house.

Reducing Costs Without Sacrificing Quality

One of the most common reasons mid-sized businesses come to Lanphier LLP is cost. Large firms bill at rates that reflect their overhead, their brand, and their partnership structures. We deliver the same caliber of work at significantly lower rates because we operate with lower overhead, flatter management, and a more efficient delivery model. For many of our mid-sized clients, engaging Lanphier LLP for specialty work that would otherwise go to a Big 4 or large regional firm results in substantial savings -- without any compromise in quality.

Our Denver office at Colorado Center makes us accessible for in-person strategy sessions, but we serve mid-sized businesses across the country. Whether you need a permanent specialty partner or project-based support for a specific transaction or initiative, Lanphier LLP is structured to deliver precisely the level of engagement your business requires.
