McGuire Sponsel is a national specialty tax consulting firm founded in 2007. We serve 500+ CPAs and businesses across the country. We pride ourselves on combining technical expertise with exceptional client service. We have 5 offices throughout the United States:

• Growth Mindset:
  We embrace challenges as opportunities to learn and evolve. With a deep desire to continuously level up, we approach our work with curiosity, humility, and a willingness to fail forward. Progress is built on iteration, not perfection.
• Relationship Focus:
  We invest in authentic, trusting relationships — with our clients, our teammates, and ourselves. We lead with honesty, communicate openly, and collaborate with intentionality. Strong relationships are our foundation for great work and long-term success.
• Strives for Excellence:
  We hold ourselves to the highest standards of integrity, quality, and intelligence. From strategic thinking to technical execution, we take pride in delivering exceptional work. Excellence is not an outcome — it's a mindset we bring to everything we do.
• Awareness:
  We operate with emotional intelligence and self-awareness, understanding how our actions impact others and the broader team. We’re committed to personal growth, constructive feedback, and leading ourselves before leading others.
• Tenacity:
  We show up with resilience, grit, and determination — especially when the work gets hard. We’re solutions-oriented, driven, and persistent in pursuing the best outcomes for our clients and our team. We don’t give up; we level up.

McGuire Sponsel’s Location Advisory team works diligently to identify and reduce any risks to the client. Risks primarily come in the form of “non-performance” of incentive growth goals. These typically revolve around not achieving target investment and/or job goals as outlined in the initial phases of the incentive project. Most incentives are performance based, meaning that once performance to a set standard is achieved, the client can receive the benefit of incentives.

However, if a project does not perform or performs and then reduces incentive goals below expectations, there may be the risk of “clawback” or repayment of the incentive value received to date. Additionally, if a client never performs then there is a risk of not receiving any incentives, which can be detrimental if the project anticipated the incentive value into its pro formas.

McGuire Sponsel identifies these potential risks early in our process and advises clients prior to taking next steps that may obligate a client to repayment situations.
