NEWPORT BEACH, Calif., December 9, 2025 (Newswire.com) – Elevate Financial Partners With several provisions of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act set to expire at the end of 2025 – including potential changes to estate and gift tax exemptions, income tax brackets, and business deductions – Elevate is positioning its enhanced business planning
“Year-end is always a critical planning window, but with the legislative landscape potentially shifting in 2026, this December may be especially important for people to take a comprehensive look at their financial picture,” said Stephen Peterson , Founder and Principal of Elevate Financial Partners. “We expanded our business planning capabilities this year to meet increasing demand from entrepreneurs and professionals who need coordinated guidance across tax, estate, and business strategy that supports long-term financial success – not advice delivered in silos.”
Throughout 2025, Elevate Financial Partners expanded its service model

Entity structuring for tax efficiency and liability protection
Business succession planning and ownership transition strategies
Business financial planning and cash flow analysis

Year-End Planning Considerations
With several Tax Cuts and Jobs Act provisions scheduled to expire, key areas to address before December 31 include:
Roth conversions while current tax brackets remain in effect
Estate plans and wealth transfers under the current gift tax exemption
Entity structures that may be affected by changes to business deductions
Life insurance funding strategies ahead of potential corridor adjustments
Charitable giving to maximize deductions at current income tax rates
“A year-end review allows us to identify meaningful opportunities and prepare our clients for the year ahead,” said Tony Thornton, Vice President and Chief Financial Planner . “With so many provisions potentially changing in 2026, the decisions made before December 31 could have a lasting impact on a family’s wealth transfer strategy or a business owner’s tax position.”
