An exclusive private hour for cosmetic surgical specialists — after conference hours, on the Vegas Strip, behind closed doors.

May 28 – 30, 2026 · Vegas Strip
After conference hours | Hors d'oeuvres + cocktails | Private Strip location revealed 48 hours prior | Seven seats only | Decision-makers only
If a private invitation reached your suite at VCS — this page is the rest of it.
What this is. An invitation to one private hour on the Vegas Strip with a CPA who is also a tax attorney — twenty years across the table from the IRS and DOL — to design the structure that legally takes seven figures of tax burden off a high-earning cosmetic-surgical practice and converts it into a reserve you control.
What this is not. A webinar. A group room. A vendor booth. A product pitch. Nothing is sold inside the hour — you walk out with the outline of a blueprint, not an invoice. Hors d'oeuvres and cocktails are provided; an associate is not.
Seven private hours across the week. Just you, me, and your numbers. Bring your spouse or your CFO if you want a second set of ears — otherwise it stays one-on-one.

The Three Questions
Pick three. We pick you.
Is your cosmetic surgical practice generating $1M+ in annual net profit before taxes — across cash-pay aesthetics, surgical, medspa, RF/laser, or an ASC stake?
Are you done settling for 1031s on the surgery center and captives that double as audit beacons — ready for a TRULY accessible Tax-Free Reserve shielded from malpractice AND state-board medspa risk?
Could your CPA, financial advisor, or 401(k) TPA already be under quiet IRS or DOL investigation — putting your legacy practice into a contagious-audit dragnet you would never see coming until the IDR lands on your desk?
Three of three? Then this hour was built for you.
Why This Hour Is Different
I never manage your money. I never prepare your tax returns. I bring the legal shield your CPA and wealth manager cannot.
The Standard CPA Outcome
The Platinum Tax Group Outcome
Here's What You'll Learn
What Else We Quietly Handle
One of the only national firms challenging IRS and DOL rulemaking before it reaches your practice.
Strike down regulations issued without proper APA notice. The agency does not get to win on procedure when its own procedure has not been followed.
Find why your plan flags before the DOL or IRS audits you. 70% of 401(k) audits show DOL deficiencies — you don't want yours to be the one that finishes the survey.
Quiet exits from Tax Court hit-list structures. The structures most CPAs sold you are now the IRS's favorite hunting grounds; the exit is its own discipline.
Move equity outside the taxable estate before 2028. Planned in, not panicked over — the difference is measured in seven and eight figures.
The Strategist
I am a Certified Public Accountant. I am also an attorney admitted in Texas and Michigan, and I hold a Master of Laws in Taxation. Fewer than 1% of practicing tax attorneys hold all three credentials. I never manage your money. I never prepare your tax returns. I bring the legal shield your CPA and wealth manager cannot.
I have spent twenty years across the table from the federal government — in tax controversy, audit defense, and litigation, including matters argued at the U.S. Court of Appeals and a filing at the United States Supreme Court. I spend my time where the rules are actually written: the notices, the sub-regulatory guidance, the procedural shortcuts the IRS and DOL use to move the line. By the time most CPAs hear about a new rule, I have already filed against it.
CPA + Attorney (TX & MI) + LL.M. in Taxation — held by fewer than 1% of practicing tax attorneys.
Filed Elick v. Commissioner at the United States Supreme Court — statutory tax interpretation against the federal government.
Argued Tommy Barrow v. USA before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit.
Host of Uncovering the Tax Secrets of the Wealthy — aired on NBC, ABC, CBS, and Fox affiliates; directed by 3-time Emmy winner Nick Nanton.

The Architect Guarantee
An hour you cannot regret.
Sit with me for the full hour. If you walk out honestly believing I have wasted a single minute of your time, I will reimburse double your documented travel costs to VCS — on the spot, no fine print, no forms to fill out.
I value your time exactly as much as I value my own. You risk an hour. I risk writing you a check.
Applies to those who meet the page-one qualification. The guarantee covers the quality of the working hour — it is not, and consistent with U.S. Treasury Circular 230 cannot be, a guarantee of any specific tax result.
RSVP — Seven Private Hours, May 28–30
VCS week runs May 28–30, 2026. I am holding seven private one-on-one hours across those three days — nothing else on the calendar. The exact Strip location is delivered to confirmed surgeons 48 hours in advance, for privacy.
Request Your Seat
VCS week · May 28–30, 2026 · Vegas Strip
Before You Sit Down
No. The hour is a working session against your real numbers, and it ends with the outline of a blueprint — nothing is sold inside the room. If we decide to work together afterward, that is a separate, fully written engagement you would review on your own time. Hors d'oeuvres and cocktails are provided; an invoice is not.
Because the week has only so many hours after conference programming ends, and the work is custom, not templated. I also take a deliberately small number of new cosmetic-surgical clients each year — five — and these seven hours feed that.
Nothing but your hour. And the Architect Guarantee covers even that — if you believe I wasted your time, you leave with a check for double your documented travel costs.
The hours are built around VCS week and the Strip, but no — if you are in Las Vegas that week and you meet the page-one qualification, you are welcome to request a seat.
No. I never manage money and I never prepare tax returns. I am a tax attorney and CPA who designs the structure; your existing return preparer implements the filing alongside that structure. The two roles work together — they are not the same job. I bring the legal shield your CPA and wealth manager cannot.
Everything I design is grounded in the Internal Revenue Code and existing federal law. I do not sell listed transactions or the most-audited gimmicks on the market — that is the entire point of stepping off the captive / 1031 / easement tables. In the room, I will show you the difference plainly.
Yes. A spouse or a CFO / practice CEO is welcome — a second set of ears on a structural decision is smart. Otherwise the hour stays one-on-one: no associates, no junior staff. You get me.
P.S. Five new cosmetic surgical clients per year. After conference hours, over hors d'oeuvres and cocktails. Decision-makers only.— Joe
