Daniel H.
Guarin
Over twenty-five years advising service-based business owners and real estate investors on defensible, forward-looking tax planning. Founder of Proactive Tax Advisors. United States Marine Corps veteran. Based in Coral Gables, Florida.
"Every strategy must be grounded in the Internal Revenue Code and defensible under scrutiny."
— Daniel H. Guarin
This is not marketing language. It is the operating principle of the practice, applied to every recommendation, every client engagement, every piece of work that leaves the firm.
It means Daniel does not engage in aggressive tax positions. It means he does not recommend speculative structures. It means every strategy implemented must be documented, defensible, and built to withstand formal review by the IRS — today and years from now.
The result is a practice that produces meaningful savings for clients over decades rather than quarters. Work that stands up. Outcomes that compound.
The path to proactive architecture.
United States Marine Corps
Daniel served in the United States Marine Corps as a Maintenance Float Chief, responsible for supplying units achieving real-time worldwide operations. The role demanded precision, accountability, and the ability to coordinate logistics under pressure — standards that would later define how he approached his professional practice.
During his service, Daniel earned the Navy and Marine Corps Achievement Medal for his work in accounting — the first formal recognition of the disciplined, systems-oriented approach that would become the foundation of his career in tax.
Foundation in Public Accounting
After his service, Daniel began his accounting career as an intern at public accounting firms while completing his BBA in Accounting at the University of Miami. He went on to earn his Master's in Taxation from Florida International University and his Enrolled Agent designation — licensed directly by the U.S. Treasury to represent taxpayers before the IRS.
What he saw in those early years shaped everything that followed. Year after year, successful business owners were paying far more tax than the law required — not because their CPAs were negligent, but because compliance and planning are fundamentally different disciplines. No one was doing the planning.
Building Full Compliance LLC
In 2006, Daniel founded Full Compliance, LLC — a dedicated tax compliance and representation firm. Over thirteen years, the practice grew into a respected resource for business owners with complex tax situations, and Daniel himself became a Fellow of the National Tax Practice Institute — the highest level of recognition for tax practitioners in the country.
Running the compliance side gave him an unmatched vantage point. He saw, in detail, what every strategy cost clients who weren't planning in advance. The pattern was consistent: the same opportunities, ignored year after year. The same structural inefficiencies, compounding in the wrong direction.
Founding Proactive Tax Advisors
In 2019, Daniel founded Proactive Tax Advisors to focus exclusively on architectural tax planning for service-based business owners and real estate investors with six-figure federal tax liabilities. The firm's mandate: apply the Tax Strategy Stacking Framework — the methodology he'd refined over two decades — to clients before the decisions that matter are made, not after.
The two firms operate in parallel. Full Compliance handles the compliance side. Proactive Tax Advisors handles the architecture. Both functions are essential. Both are done properly. Neither is compromised by pretending to be the other.
