FrequentlyAsked Questions

Q1: What does HENRY mean in finance?

HENRY stands for High Earner, Not Rich Yet—typically someone earning $150K–$500K annually who hasn’t built long-term wealth yet due to taxes, debt, or spending.

Q2: Do HENRYs need a tax-focused accountant?

Yes. HENRYs are in the best position to save on taxes and accelerate wealth—but only with the right strategy. An accountant can help reduce your tax bill and plan smarter.

Q3: What tax strategies help high-income earners save money?

Maxing out pre-tax retirement plans, using a backdoor Roth IRA, tax-loss harvesting, AMT planning for stock options, 83(b) elections, and setting up an LLC or S Corp for side income.

Q4: How do I find the right accountant if I’m a HENRY?

Search for accountants who specialize in high-income earners, equity comp, and wealth-building. Ask about experience with RSUs, backdoor Roths, and cash flow strategy.

What Does an Accountant for High-Income Earners (HENRYs) Do?
