Tax Planning
WHAT WE DO
CONTROL YOUR TAX STRATEGY
Taxes are one of the largest—and most controllable—factors in long-term wealth. Left unmanaged, they erode earnings. Managed properly, they become a powerful lever for preservation and growth.
At XXI Sports, we bring structure and clarity to complex tax situations– helping you minimize liability, plan proactively, and align every financial decision with long-term outcomes. Our approach is coordinated, forward-looking, and built to protect both your capital and your reputation.
PAYMENT SCHEDULES & STRUCTURING
Timing matters.
Athletes often have more flexibility in how and when they receive income than they realize. We help you think through the options around signing bonuses, contract payments, and endorsement income so that the timing supports your cash flow, tax picture, and long-term goals.
Our role is to provide financial perspective and modeling, working alongside your agent and other professionals, so you can make informed decisions and choose the structure that’s right for you.
MULTI-STATE TAX PLANNING
Earning across multiple states creates complexity that requires precision.
We manage multi-state tax obligations- allocating income correctly, navigating “jock taxes”, and ensuring compliance across jurisdictions. Our goal is to reduce unnecessary exposure while avoiding costly penalties or audits.
PHILANTHROPY & CHARITABLE STRATEGY
Giving can be both impactful and strategic.
We design charitable strategies that align with your values while improving tax efficiency—whether through direct giving, donor-advised funds, or structured philanthropic vehicles. The result is meaningful impact paired with thoughtful planning.
ENDORSEMENT & NIL STRUCTURING
Not all income is taxed the same.
We help you evaluate and structure endorsement and NIL income with an eye toward improving after-tax outcomes, while complementing the work of your agent and other professionals. Where appropriate, we’ll explore approaches such as deferred compensation, royalty arrangements, and equity participation, always within the context of your broader financial plan and long-term objectives.
Our role is to bring clear, disciplined financial thinking to these opportunities so you understand the trade-offs, stay aligned with your goals, and make confident decisions about how your brand income is earned and received.
ESTATE & WEALTH TRANSFER PLANNING
Preserving wealth across generations requires planning today.
We implement strategies such as trusts, entity structures, and gifting programs to reduce estate tax exposure and ensure your assets are transferred efficiently and intentionally. The focus is not just on protection—but on building a lasting legacy.
