Why do professional athletes need specialized accounting and tax advice?

Athletes face unique financial challenges: multiple income streams, complex contract structures and multi-state tax obligations (often called the “jock tax”). Without careful planning, these can lead to missed deductions, overpaid taxes or compliance risks. Specialized advice can help you keep more of what you earn and stay ahead of issues before they become problems.

What makes Grassi different from other accounting firms for athletes and entertainers?

Grassi is one of the nation’s largest independent, employee-owned accounting, tax and advisory firms. That means we answer only to our clients, not outside investors. Our dedicated Sports & Entertainment team provides comprehensive financial guidance, encompassing tax compliance, contract analysis, wealth preservation and post-career planning.
