With the federal estate tax exemption now at $15 million per person, most families will never owe estate tax. That changes where the planning value is.

On Tuesday, our partner Alex Jones, CPA, spoke to the Delaware County Estate Planning Council at The Towne House in Media. His talk was “Income Tax Planning Eclipses Transfer Tax Planning: The New Order of Operations.”

His main point for attorneys, trust officers and advisors: for most clients, basis step-up, trust income tax and the timing of distributions now matter more than reducing a taxable estate.

Thank you to the Council for having us, and to Gadsden Schneider & Woodward LLP for sponsoring the October meeting.

October 15 is here. Between extensions, last-minute client documents, and late nights, the past few weeks (really months) have asked a lot of everyone. That includes the tax team and everyone in audit, CAS, and admin who has picked up extra work to keep things moving.

Today came with a nice reminder of why the work matters. Partner Hillary Alexander, CPA, received flowers from Katherine Handin, CEO of Global Coaching Alliance, with a note that said, “I value our partnership and your counsel more than you know.” That kind of trust is built over years, and it’s earned by the whole team. Thank you, Katherine, for such a thoughtful gesture.

To show their appreciation, our partners treated everyone to lunch from Jem’s Deli & Catering in Springfield. Shout out to Michael Fries, Emily Fries and their team for taking such good care of our staff. And to our team, thank you for the care you bring to our clients, and for the way you show up for each other when it counts!

For 25 years, the Delco Run for Heroes has made sure the children of fallen first responders have support for their education.

On Sunday, Brinker Simpson & Company sponsored and volunteered at the 25th anniversary race. It rained the entire time, and the turnout didn’t flinch.

Proceeds benefit the Delaware County Hero Scholarship Fund, which provides scholarships to the children of police, firefighters, and emergency responders who died in the line of duty. The event has raised more than $875,000 since 2001.

Proud to be part of it, and grateful to our volunteers who braved the elements to cheer every runner across the line and support these families. Learn more at delcorunforheroes.com.

Trivia expert. Eagles fan. Future CPA, unless the UFC title shot comes through first. 😉

Michael Della Barba is our Fall Tax Intern, studying Finance and Accounting at West Chester University. He chose the field because he wanted to understand how businesses run and make financial decisions, and he wanted a career path that keeps a lot of doors open.

This fall he’s working alongside our tax team on real client work. He describes the experience in three words: interactive, friendly, educational.

His advice to future interns: don’t be afraid to ask questions, and a positive attitude goes a long way.

We hope you’re enjoying your time with us, Mike.

Strong local businesses are built by strong local leaders. That’s why we show up.

On Wednesday, our team joined about 150 Delco business owners and executives at the Delaware County Chamber of Commerce’s ATHENA Leadership Award Luncheon at Springfield Country Club. Congratulations to this year’s honoree, Laura Kasper Founder, President and CEO of Monarch Staffing, a Delco business leader who has spent her career helping women grow into leadership.

As an independent, local firm, Brinker Simpson & Company works with business owners across Delaware County every day. Our Chamber partnership is one of the ways we stay connected to the people building companies here, and events like this remind us how much talent this community has.

Thank you to the Chamber for bringing everyone together, and to Girls Spark for turning the afternoon into a prom dress drive too.
