John Geantasio stands on the right side of a professional blue S-Corp tax strategy banner, wearing a dark charcoal suit jacket over a bright blue shirt. On the left, the headline reads “A defensible S-Corp salary,” with “defensible” highlighted in yellow italics, followed by the line “Set a number you can justify — not just the lowest one you can pay.” Below the text, a flat geometric illustration shows a balance scale comparing “Salary” and “Distributions.” A shield with a checkmark sits between the two sides to represent a defensible, IRS-supportable compensation strategy. Supporting tax visuals include a calculator, a financial document with a dollar sign, an 1120-S form, and an IRS-style compliance document. The design uses John Geantasio CPA LLC’s deep blue, yellow, beige, white, and light blue brand palette and communicates the idea of setting a reasonable S-Corp owner salary based on justification and documentation rather than simply minimizing wages.

A landscape graphic titled “In-House Bookkeeper vs. Outsourced Accounting” shows two business professionals meeting in a modern suburban office. On the right, a thoughtful small-business owner in a dark blue blazer listens as an experienced accounting advisor points to a printed side-by-side comparison on a wooden desk. One side of the document represents a single in-house employee, while the other represents an outsourced accounting team. The desk also contains a laptop displaying financial charts, a calculator, notebooks, payroll worksheets, financial reports, and organized business documents. On the left, large text explains that the image presents a practical true-cost comparison for Monmouth County business owners. The website johngeantasiocpa.com appears at the bottom.
