Why Business Owners Switch to John

I don’t just file your return — I look ahead, so you stop overpaying year after year.

You work with me directly — John, a CPA with 35 years’ experience — not a junior who rotates out next season.

I started as an auditor for the New York State tax authority, so I know exactly how they think, and where the savings (and the risks) are.

I handle the complicated cases most preparers avoid: multiple entities, multiple states, real estate, crypto.

When something’s time-sensitive, I pick up the phone. It’s why clients stay with me for decades.

Our Services

I prepare your returns accurately and on time — then I do the part most preparers skip: I look ahead and find the deductions, structure, and timing that cut next year’s bill. Filing keeps you compliant. Planning keeps your

Pass more of your estate to your family and less to the IRS, with a plan built before it’s needed. I helped one family preserve $11 million for the next generation.

Senior financial leadership — forecasting, KPIs, cash-flow strategy — without the cost of a full-time CFO. The clarity to make confident decisions as you grow.

Bookkeeping, payroll, and financial reporting handled accurately, so you can run your business instead of chasing your numbers.

IRS and State Tax Representation

Got a letter or an audit? You don’t deal with the IRS — I do. 35 years of representing clients and resolving complex tax matters.

Reclaim What's Rightfully Yours

Tired of watching a chunk of your hard-earned money vanish to taxes every year? You're probably right to feel that way. Most business owners I meet are overpaying — not because they did anything wrong, but because nobody was looking ahead for them. That's exactly what I do: I find what you're overpaying, and I make sure you keep it.

“Donna, Jessica and John are amazing to work with, they help my company succeed beyond what I would have initially thought upon our first meeting. Thank you for all the hard work you have done for us and our business! We look forward to our Tax Analysis every year! We have several companies from Self Storage and rental properties in NJ and Florida, even though we live in Delaware, John and his team have been able to adjust to the different states and the respective laws. Based on the feedback John gave us helped make the right decision on selling our Storage Facility in NJ. We trust John and his team to help our family make perfect decision for us!”

John has been my accountant for well over a decade, spanning several stages of my career and now into my retirement. His expertise in near- and long-term tax strategies and recommendations for building an integrated financial team have helped me to effectively manage investments and continue to achieve financial goals. From office administration to tax preparation and planning, John and members of his firm are highly skilled, extremely responsive, friendly, and understand the value of strong client relationships. I highly recommend the Geantasio Team!

As the owner of a rapidly growing crypto-based business, John and his team have been excellent to work with. John took the time to understand my business and the nuances of how we deal in cryptocurrency; and subsequently helped form our tax and financial strategy.

The firm and its staff are knowledgeable, responsive, and highly professional. I strongly recommend them for both business and personal accounting needs.

Thrilled by our tax returns since switching a few years ago and so grateful to John for his expertise. Donna is wonderful! In the height of tax season she makes us feel as if we are their only clients and attends cheerily to my myriad of questions and requests. I don't know how she does it.

I have worked with John and his team for five years, both for my employer as well as for my husband's company and our personal taxes. From our initial meeting to present, I am constantly reminded that their knowledge and attention to detail sets this firm far apart from the others. They are proactive in securing all the information needed in order to provide their clients with the best possible outcome. They are truly on top of their game!

My family has been having its taxes done by the Geantasio team for 8 years now, and in 2024, we had another great tax preparation experience. Every year it has been a seamless process, as John and his team are incredibly knowledgeable, professional and diligent in getting tax submissions completed on-time and accurate. I would highly recommend John's group to anyone.

Great service.
This is my first experience with an actual tax professional. For a week there was a constant back and forth communication to get as much information and documentation as they can in order to find as many deductions as possible. The amount of care, concern, and accuracy from the office team made the experience painless and even educational as they answered questions I even didn't know I had and made me aware of future issues to address. Honestly never going back to the limited software options again. It was pricey but worth every penny. Will be calling John, Craig, and Donna again for future endeavors.

Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

Yes. I prepare your returns and do the forward-looking planning most preparers skip. Filing keeps you compliant; planning keeps you from overpaying. The combination is the whole point.

You work with me directly. My team handles the day-to-day, but the planning and the decisions are mine.

It depends on your situation, but for most business owners the savings are a multiple of my fee. I’ll show you where the money is on the free call.

Yes. I work with clients across Monmouth County in person and with business owners across the U.S. remotely. Many of my clients operate in multiple states.

Before April, not during it. The best moves happen months — sometimes years — before a return is filed. If you only think about taxes at filing time, you’ve already missed most of the opportunity.

I’ll tell you plainly on the free call, before you commit to anything. For most clients, what I save them is far more than what I charge.
