Filing looks backward. Planning looks forward.

Strong income. A bigger year than the last. And a tax bill that grows with it.

Filing

Your tax advisor files an excellent return, looking back at a year that's already over.

Planning

Many strategies need to start early enough to be set up and documented correctly.

The 2026 tax year closes December 31.

A starting point, every tax year.

High earners hear plenty of tax ideas.

We introduce you to independent providers, so you go straight to the source.

Several independent providers, not one product.

We introduce people to several independent strategy providers. Each one is responsible for its own strategy and its own documents.

Your tax advisor, your decision.

We hope you'll bring your tax advisor in from day one.

Don't have one? Just ask, and we'll connect you with a third-party tax advisor. Whether you work with them is entirely your choice, and we're not paid for the introduction.

Documentation your tax advisor can review.

Strategy documents come from the provider itself, so you and your tax advisor review the source.

Every year, not once.

When a new tax year opens, we let you know what's new.

Getting started takes 15 minutes. Pick a time ↓

Five steps. You can stop at any one.

01

A 15-minute phone call.

A few questions about your year. There's nothing to prepare beyond a few quick questions when you book.

02

A one-hour video call.

If a closer look makes sense, we show you general information about the available strategies from each provider's own materials, and answer your questions about how the process works. If one interests you, we set up the introduction.

03

An introduction to the provider.

You meet the independent provider directly and review its documents.

04

You make the final call, with your tax advisor.

You and your tax advisor review everything and decide what, if anything, makes sense. We make introductions. We don't give tax, legal or investment advice.

05

Every year after.

We check in each year. You decide if it's worth a call.

You pay us nothing.

Providers pay Ironclad when someone completes their process. We're upfront about that because it means we have an interest in your decision, and it's exactly why we encourage you to do your own diligence with your tax advisor and move forward only when you both agree it makes sense for you.

Trust is earned, not given.

Ironclad Partners was founded by Melvin Noriega, a Marine veteran.

Most of our clients came to us through a colleague who was already a client.

Is this for you?

For you if

  • You're a physician, executive or business owner.
  • This year is bigger than the last.
  • You'd rather plan before December 31 than wait until April.
  • You want your tax advisor part of the decision.

Not for you if

  • You want someone to promise you a number.
  • You want tax, legal or investment advice from us.
  • You'd rather decide without a tax advisor's review.
  • You need your return prepared (that's your tax advisor's job).

What people ask before the call.

What happens on the call?

We confirm a few details from your booking and ask about your year, to see whether an introduction makes sense. There's no obligation. If it doesn't make sense, we'll tell you.

Do I pay Ironclad anything?

No. Providers pay Ironclad when someone completes their process. Each strategy has its own costs, and you'll see them in the provider's own documents before you decide anything.

What about my tax advisor?

We don't compete with tax advisors or replace them. You and your tax advisor make the final call.

Do I need to prepare anything?

No. Just a few quick questions when you book, then 15 minutes to talk about your year.

Why now?

The 2026 tax year closes December 31, and many strategies need to start early enough to be set up and documented correctly. Each provider sets its own availability and timing.

Who sees my information?

Only us, unless you ask us to introduce you to a provider. We don't sell it.

It only takes a 15-minute phone call.

Start here →

15 minutes by phone. You pay us nothing. You and your tax advisor make the final call.

The call isn't advice, and booking it doesn't make you a client. We don't guarantee any tax result.

Once you pick a time, you'll get a confirmation, and we'll call you then.

Not this year? If there's a month that's worth a call, just let us know which one.
