You deserve to know exactly what your cost will be before we begin. Use our calculator to receive a customized, real-time estimate. No phone call required, no hidden fees, and no surprise invoices.
For high-net-worth families, executives, and business owners, tax season is more than a deadline, it’s a strategic opportunity. The Fox Alliance provides proactive, year-round tax guidance that integrates seamlessly into your broader financial plan.
As your income grows, so does your exposure to tax liability. Standard deductions often no longer apply, and the stakes for errors become much higher.
Our high-income tax services go beyond basic reporting. We proactively identify opportunities in charitable strategies, investment timing, and itemized deductions to help protect and retain more of your wealth.
Two high earners often face the "marriage penalty" and complex withholding gaps that lead to surprise bills in April.
We coordinate your tax withholdings and retirement contributions across both incomes to optimize your combined effective tax rate and eliminate the stress of an unexpected balance due.
From depreciation schedules to 1031 exchanges, real estate offers powerful tax advantages, but only if managed correctly.
We help you understand and apply the complex rules regarding passive vs. active income and repairs vs. improvements to maximize the tax efficiency of your property portfolio.
Equity compensation (RSUs, ISOs, NSOs) creates complex tax events that seasonal preparers often mishandle.
Our tax prep services for executives strategically plan around vesting schedules and exercise dates, proactively managing the tax impact of your compensation so you can keep more of the reward you’ve earned.
For sole proprietors and partners, business tax is personal tax.
We integrate your Schedule C or pass-through entity filings with your personal return, ensuring that every valid business expense is captured and self-employment taxes are legally minimized.
Living, working, or owning property in more than one state can complicate your tax situation. Each state has its own rules about when you’re required to file and how your income is taxed.
We help you determine where you have a filing obligation, coordinate returns across states, and account for agreements that may prevent you from being taxed twice on the same income, so you stay compliant and avoid overpaying.

Office locationsRooted in Texas
With primary offices in Austin, San Antonio, and Seguin, The Fox Alliance operates from the heart of Central Texas while advising clients in more than 30 states nationwide. Our structure allows us to deliver consistent, high-touch service regardless of location.
Many clients come to TFA at a tipping point: their finances have grown more complex, but their tax approach doesn't reflect that reality.
If any of these experiences speak to you, you are ready to graduate to The Fox Alliance.
You had a good year, but your previous tax preparer did not warn you about the tax implications until the return was filed. Now, you are facing a large, unexpected bill.
We eliminate the surprise by proactively projecting your tax liability mid-year and year-end. This gives you the opportunity to adjust your strategy, if needed, well before the April 15 deadline.
If the scenarios above sound familiar, you have likely outgrown your current tax arrangement. You shouldn’t have to wonder if your preparer missed a deduction or if you are going to face a surprise bill — upgrade to a partner who provides the technical accuracy your finances demand.
Our comprehensive tax preparation process is designed to handle the nuances of high-net-worth returns, ensuring every line item is accurate and every opportunity is captured. Whether your financial picture involves multiple states, complex investments, or business interests, we cover every base to ensure you stay compliant and keep more of what you earn.
We prepare and file your federal 1040 and any required state returns with meticulous attention to detail. We focus on getting it right the first time to avoid generating IRS letters, giving you the peace of mind that your filing is audit-ready and fully compliant.
Living, working, or owning assets across state lines creates a web of conflicting regulations. We handle this for you, ensuring you remain compliant in every jurisdiction without paying tax on the same income twice.
Your portfolio shouldn't create a tax headache. We accurately report all capital gains, losses, dividends, and interest, ensuring your cost basis is correct so your investment performance isn't eroded by reporting errors.
Equity compensation (ISOs, NSOs, RSUs) triggers complex tax events that standard preparers often mishandle. We track your vesting schedules and cost basis to help you implement strategies designed to avoid unnecessary double taxation.
Whether you hold rental properties or have business income flowing through a K-1, we optimize your depreciation schedules and expense categorization. We ensure that passive and active income rules are applied correctly to minimize your liability.
We don't just take the standard deduction by default. We analyze your mortgage interest, property taxes, and charitable giving to determine the most beneficial filing method, ensuring you claim every dollar you are entitled to.
To prevent the "April Surprise," we calculate accurate quarterly estimated tax payments based on your real-time financial picture. This proactive step protects you from underpayment penalties and helps you manage cash flow effectively throughout the year.
If you are waiting on delayed Schedule K-1s or need more time to gather accurate records, we handle the strategic filing of extensions. This removes the stress of the deadline while ensuring you avoid late-filing penalties.
Your financial life doesn't exist in a vacuum, and neither should your professional advice. We go beyond tax preparation, ensuring that every part of your financial picture works in unison to minimize liability and build long-term wealth.
The biggest opportunities to save money happen before the year closes, not in April. We move beyond reactive filing to offer proactive, year-round tax planning.
By strategically managing capital gains, optimizing retirement distributions, and navigating equity compensation, we help you make informed decisions that proactively manage and seek to reduce your lifetime tax burden.
Don't let taxes erode your investment growth. Unlike firms that operate in silos, our Tax and Wealth teams work under one roof to execute tax-efficient investment strategies.
We utilize our Family Endowment Model to build resilient, institutional-style portfolios designed to help you keep more of what your money earns.
Explore Investment Strategy
HR departments explain your benefits, but they are not built to help you use them strategically. For corporate executives, equity compensation, deferred compensation, and robust 401(k)s can drive significant long-term wealth, while also creating complex tax consequences.
We help you move beyond the HR packet to build a strategy that captures the full value of your compensation and aligns it with your broader financial plan.
Maximize Your BenefitsWho We Are

Founding Partner
“Let us go forward together.” — Winston Churchill
Bill Fox serves as Founder and President of The Fox Alliance. Based in Austin, TX, he has over 31 years of experience as a Wealth Advisor.
Bill first became interested in the financial industry while studying finance in college. However, while working as an accountant he realized that his true passion was in serving people: specifically helping them build and preserve their financial future.
In 1986 he began working as a financial representative with New England Financial. It was there that Bill learned about the importance of establishing trust, which became a simple yet pivotal foundation in the way he decided to conduct business.
By developing meaningful relationships with his clients and their families, he could better understand the complexities of their situation and provide them with a more personalized financial planning approach. In addition, his background in finance and accounting kept his approach factual and educational, which positioned him differently for clients who were used to the more sales-driven financial representative.
Beyond his seasoned experience in the industry, he:
After nearly 30 years, he founded The Fox Alliance to provide a truly independent and comprehensive approach to wealth management that focuses on the person just as much as the portfolio.
Outside of the office, Bill enjoys spending time with his wife, Toni, and their five children, two daughters-in-law, granddaughter, and grandson (his son, Holden, works with him at the firm). He also enjoys golf, swimming, and leading a home group at his local church.
