Paradise Valley, AZ, July 24, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Tax Goddess, the Forbes and Entrepreneur-featured firm led by Shauna A. Wekherlien, CPA, MTax, CTC, CTP, CTS, celebrates its 22nd anniversary by launching an exclusive flat-rate tax strategy model. Moving away from retroactive filing and hourly billing, this model equips business owners and High-Net-Worth (HNW) individuals with proactive, transparent tax optimization.
With over $2.35 billion in documented client savings and an average tax rate of 6.92%, Shauna ranks among the top 1% of tax strategists nationwide—a Magic Factor traditional accountants cannot match. The firm’s new flat-rate tiers range from a $10,000 Foundation Strategy for growing businesses to a $350,000 Empire Tier focused on multi-generational wealth preservation for founders with a $50M+ net worth.
“Extreme tax savings are never one-size-fits-all,” Shauna explains. “I sometimes call myself a red-headed fire-breathing dragon sitting on a pile of gold coins, where each coin is a strategy we utilize for the right client.”
The team maps each client’s financial position against their proprietary Aggression Scale™, capping strategies at a legal Level 8 to ensure bulletproof compliance. As Shauna jokes, an orange jumpsuit would clash terribly with her red hair.
“At the top 1% level, tax optimization is no longer about finding ‘loopholes’; it is about structural engineering,” Shauna notes. While Tax Goddess routinely implements mid-level tactics like Cost Segregation and Cash Balance plans, they dominate in advanced entity structuring utilizing strategies such as 831 Captive Insurance, multi-trust stacking, and Section 1202 (QSBS) maximization.
This legally aggressive approach is further detailed in Shauna’s latest book, The 6% Life: 7 Strategies That Successful Entrepreneurs Use to Reengineer Their Life to Consistently Pay Less Than 6% in Taxes.
