About Lifetime Advisors

About Our Team

Our diverse team of planning professionals at Lifetime Advisors has decades of experience in their individual fields. We came together to fill a gap in the market that has generally been underserved or priced out of the support the larger accounting firms can provide.

The Internal Revenue Code rewards business owners. Our sophisticated team of advisors allow the clients we serve to do what they do best, while providing peace of mind, knowing they are adequately positioned and protected from unintentional over taxation.

A Shared Philosophy

We place our clients' interest ahead of our own and provide service to our country's risk takers and job makers.

Corey Tansom

Business Development Manager

Corey is uniquely qualified to support the agents with their clients and the clients he serves because of his professional experience as a former business owner and entrepreneur.

In 1997, Corey took $50k in equity out of his home for a down payment to purchase a small business with $230k in revenue and just three employees. Over the next 18 years, Corey grew it to 110 employees and 21 million in revenue and successfully exited in 2014. Along his journey, he dealt with many, if not all the issues seen by an owner. His payroll ran $230k every two weeks and he understands the importance cash flow has to the organization among the many other things that keep the business owner up at night.

To say he understands the value that LifeTime Advisors ERTC program brings to business owners is an understatement and he stresses to his clients that this earmarked government pool of recovery money is not unlimited, and time is of the essence to claim it. This recovery has the potential to change your business and the employees that have helped you along the way.

Corey understands the concerns business owners have about the confusion in the program and the frustration they have with the lack of clarity from their trusted account advisors. Corey often asked clients "When was the last time your account called you with a tax strategy?" Well, that may not be part of their business model, but it is our model at Lifetime Advisors.
