Some Questions Are Too Important to Keep Researching.

You can spend hours searching online, reading IRS guidance, asking AI, watching videos, reviewing documents, and trying to determine how different rules apply.

But knowing the rules and knowing how they apply to your specific situation are two very different things.

When the transaction, retirement account, structure, or decision has meaningful money attached to it, sometimes the fastest path is simply getting the right person involved.

1Option 1

Research It Yourself

Free training, IRS guidance, articles, videos, AI tools, and your own research can help you understand how these strategies work.

  • Free training
  • IRS guidance
  • Articles
  • Videos
  • AI tools
  • Your own research

You can absolutely take that path.

2Option 2

Work Through It With Tim

Bring your actual situation to Tim and spend dedicated time determining what applies, what may matter, and what your next step should be.

  • What appliesTo your specific situation
  • What may matterBefore you move forward
  • Your next stepA clear path forward

  • Advanced Retirement Strategies

    You are considering a strategy that goes beyond basic plan administration or introductory education.

  • Real Estate or Private Investments

    You are considering or already using retirement funds for real estate, private lending, private companies, or other alternative investments.

  • Something Doesn't Feel Right

    You received conflicting information, discovered something concerning, or want another experienced perspective before proceeding.

Before You Book

You Probably Don't Need Tim for These Questions

The Private Strategy Session is intended for situations where Tim's direct experience can meaningfully help you work through an important issue or decision.

  • Portal or login assistance
  • Routine Tax Academy support
  • Basic paperwork requests
  • Simple account administration
  • Questions already answered in the training library
  • General questions that the Tax Academy team can quickly resolve

If the Tax Academy team can handle your question, start there. If your situation needs Tim, this is the direct path to him.

The Process

How Your Private Strategy Session Works

Four simple steps from your question to your next move.

    Before scheduling, briefly explain your situation and what you want to accomplish.

  2. 2

    Send Anything Tim Should See

    Upload relevant documents or background information before the session if they will help Tim understand the situation.

  3. 3
    Step 03

    Meet Privately With Tim

    Get up to 45 minutes of dedicated time focused specifically on your situation.

  4. 4

Client Experiences

What Clients Say About Working With Tim

In their own words. Reviews are shown as written by the clients who left them.

Very Effective!

"Tim Berry is thorough, accessible and most importantly, EFFECTIVE. I mistakenly moved IRA money in a way that made it taxable instead of a roll-over and Tim was able to penetrate the bureaucratic wall at the IRS via a clear presentation of the facts and appropriate citations. The initial IRS ruling was reversed. I highly recommend him!"

Expert Self Directed IRA's

"Tim helped me out with an error my tax accountant found while doing my 2018 taxes for my self directed IRA. I called Tim and explained the situation. He immediately gave me 3 different options of what I could do to resolve my issue for the 2018 tax year. He prioritized each of the 3 and explained the risks. He is a great resource and I'll be utilizing his services again."

Tim Really Helped Me Out of a Problem

"So I received a 1099 that should have been issued to my LLC. This was going to be expensive if I couldn't get it resolved. I talked to several people in the tax and financial fields and got numerous answers and suggestions none of which made much sense. Tim Berry called me back in few minutes told me just how to handle my problem. His willingness to give me a few minutes of his time and his knowledge got me through a stressful situation. Thanks again Tim"

"A man qualified to talk straight simple language to usually confused IRS agents. Not a 10-page response short, sweet, and to the point. Tim does not relent over $50k in penalties gone. And his fee is embarrassingly fair."

Purchasing Property With an IRA

"My wife and I were referred to Timothy Berry regarding a piece of property we were thinking about purchasing with an IRA. He explained the different ways we could purchase the properties that would give us the best tax advantages. I found Timothy to very knowledgeable, and his information informative. It was refreshing to speak to a lawyer with our best interest in mind. I would recommend Timothy to anyone who is in need of a lawyer in his field."

Truly a Remarkable Attorney!!

"As a practicing attorney, I've seen the best and the worst when it comes to lawyers. Simply stated, Tim Berry is one of the best. I've had the pleasure of both knowing Tim for almost ten years as well as working with him on several occasions. Tim is extremely knowledgeable, dedicated to his clients, ethical, and very professional. In fact, Tim is an attorney who other attorneys go to for help. In sum, if you ever need an attorney I would suggest that you contact Tim Berry for assistance."
