Tax Advisory

Smart tax strategies. Stronger outcomes.

Filing, accounting, and bookkeeping handled with care — provided through Lithos Tax Advisory, a separate CPA-led entity.

Tax touches nearly every financial decision, so it shouldn't live in a silo. Lithos Tax Advisory provides tax filing, accounting, and bookkeeping through a separate entity with licensed CPA ownership and supervision, coordinated with the rest of your Lithos plan. The scope here is intentionally focused — tax preparation, books, and financial statements done well — so your compliance is handled cleanly and your tax picture informs the bigger strategy.

Who It's For

Built around real situations

This division does its best work for people who have something specific to protect, grow, or simplify. A few examples:

  • Business owners who want books and filing handled by one coordinated team.
  • Professionals with more complex returns who value accuracy and coordination.
  • Lithos clients who want their tax picture connected to their overall plan.
  • Anyone tired of their tax preparer and financial life never speaking.

Rahul Agarwal, CPA

CEO, Lithos Tax Advisory  ·  Co-Founder, Lithos Advisors

Licensed CPA · Indiana & Illinois

Rahul grew up in Muncie, Indiana — the kind of kid who organized the community's cultural show and then choreographed the dances too. That energy carried him to Indiana University's Kelley School of Business as a Hutton Honors College scholar, through majors in accounting and entrepreneurship, and straight through the CPA exam: every section passed on the first attempt.

He cut his teeth in audit at Plante Moran in Chicago, where a new client and a new industry landed on his desk every couple of weeks — manufacturers, insurers, banks, universities, nonprofits, venture and real-estate portfolios, from ten-million-dollar organizations to those past a billion. From there he moved inside a publicly traded company, owning revenue accounting through a multibillion-dollar acquisition and the schedules behind its SEC filings. The lesson from both worlds is the one he brings to every return: precision is a habit, not an event.

“Most families don’t have a tax problem. They have a preparer who never talks to the rest of their plan.”

That gap is why Rahul leads Lithos Tax Advisory. Here, the tax picture sits inside the whole plan — one CPA-led team, coordinated with every Lithos division. Off the clock he trains for triathlons, plays piano, coaches, and still builds LEGO — pursuits that reward patience and layers. Fitting, since Lithos is the Greek word for stone, and Rahul's ambition is simple: be a pillar of professional, personal tax service that communities can depend on.

Questions

Good to know

Is this CPA-supervised?

Yes. Tax, accounting, and bookkeeping services are provided through Lithos Tax Advisory, a separate entity with licensed CPA ownership and supervision as required by applicable rules. That structure keeps the work properly credentialed and compliant.

What exactly is included?

The focus is tax filing and preparation, accounting and bookkeeping, and financial-statement preparation. By coordinating with the rest of your Lithos plan, your tax situation can inform decisions across insurance, wealth, and real estate — without us overstepping the defined scope of services.

Can you coordinate with my financial plan?

That's the whole point of housing it inside the ecosystem. With your permission, the tax team and your planning conversations stay connected, so decisions aren't made in isolation. We can also work alongside advisors and attorneys you already use.
