About Elliot P
Elliot P Smith built a professional pathway that crosses accounting, tax and law. He began his academic training at Brigham Young University, where he completed a Bachelor of Science in Accounting in 1998 and followed that with a Master of Accounting in Tax in 2002. He left accounting school for law and earned his J.D. from Case Western Reserve University in 2003. Later, he returned to graduate study, receiving a Master of Science in Sports Conditioning and Performance from Southern Utah University in 2015.
The early years of Smith’s career reflect the dual tracks of accountant and attorney. He is a Certified Public Accountant licensed in the State of Utah. He also holds a license to practice law from the Utah State Bar and restricts his practice to that jurisdiction. Those credentials inform the practical shape of his work: tax planning, business structuring and estate matters often require technical accounting skill paired with legal analysis, and that combination has been a throughline in his professional life.
Cases and client matters handled by Smith are not catalogued here, but his background suggests steady involvement in transactional work where tax law and business law intersect. He has advised businesses on tax-sensitive decisions and worked on estate plans that turn financial records into durable plans for transfer and governance. His accounting training lets him parse financial statements and tax returns; his legal training lets him draft agreements and advise on regulatory and probate issues.
Smith’s educational choices also show an interest beyond traditional practice. The M.S. in Sports Conditioning and Performance signals an engagement with athletic performance and possibly sport-related business or tax issues, though public details are limited. He maintains memberships in professional associations relevant to his credentials.
Today Smith practices under the name Elliot P. Smith, Business, Tax, and Estate Planning. His office handles matters for clients who need counsel at the overlap of finance and law: business formation and transactions, tax planning and compliance, and estate planning. He works in Utah and draws on both CPA and attorney qualifications when advising clients on financial and legal decisions.
He continues to accept matters in business, tax and estate planning.
