How business partners navigate different Islamic schools of thought on zakat

My business partners and I are all Muslim but we come from different schools of Islamic thought, and we're discovering that our interpretations of zakat obligations for the company are incompatible in ways that could affect our bottom line. None of us want to compromise our religious principles but we also can't afford to pay multiple interpretations of what we owe.
