Deryl B. Shumway is a Senior Partner and Managing Director of Redwood Tax Specialists with over 20 years of financial industry experience. Deryl and his expert team have helped their clients succeed with innovative, advanced tax-savings strategies that grow and protect their money. Many have experienced significant tax reductions in the hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Deryl helps the affluent and business owners to focus first on advanced tax strategies that can’t be found on Main Street; not financial, investment or insurance products. To date, Deryl and his specialized team have saved Wall Street companies and small business owners over $1 Billion dollars in taxes.

In 2015, Deryl created a proprietary Integrated-CrossoverSM Strategy that ensures his clients generate substantially more wealth net of taxes and fees regardless of the type of investments they utilize. This strategy helps clients prioritize tradeoffs to find the “best-fit” solutions that have less risk and more reward.

Deryl’s primary mission is to educate business owners and CPAs on the importance of tax planning. There is never a conflict of interest for CPAs to work with Redwood’s existing CPAs because tax planning and tax preparation/accounting are simply two different professions–no different than an engineer and an architect designing a building. By the very nature of their structure, CPA firms that specialize in tax prep and accounting can’t specialize in high level tax design.
