You’ve worked hard to build a profitable business. Now there’s money in the bank and more than one reasonable thing you could do with it.
Pay taxes. Build reserves. Pay down debt. Increase retirement contributions. Hire. Invest in the business. Take a distribution. Make a purchase. Invest personally. Give more. Or simply hold the cash.
The problem isn’t a lack of good options. It’s knowing which one should come first.
Tax savings matter. But the strategy that saves the most tax isn’t automatically the best use of your money.
Before committing cash, you need to know what must be protected, what can safely be deployed, and which decisions best support what you’re actually trying to accomplish.
A good financial decision made in the wrong order can still be the wrong decision.
Benefits:
structure
protection
FREEDOM
clarity
Know what you really have
We'll review your profit, cash, taxes, reserves, obligations and other financial information needed to determine what is actually available to use.
Decide what your money needs to do
We'll look at the competing uses for your money - taxes, debt, retirement, hiring, investing, owner pay, growth, giving and more - and determine what deserves priority.
Know what happens next
You'll leave with a personalized Decision Map that organizes your priorities into NOW, NEXT, LATER and NOT YET so you know what to do and in what order.
You won't leave with another list of possibilities. You'll leave with a clear, prioritized plan for the money your business has created.
Your plan will identify what belongs NOW, NEXT, LATER and NOT YET—so you know what to do and in what order.
One private planning engagement. No ongoing commitment required.
You’ll receive instructions for providing the financial information I need and scheduling your session. I’ll review your information beforehand so our time together can focus on making decisions—not gathering numbers.
Detailed tax projections, bookkeeping cleanup, entity restructuring, retirement-plan design and implementation, and other specialized work may require a separate engagement. If additional work would benefit you, we’ll identify it before moving forward.
This is designed for profitable service-based business owners who have money in the business and are deciding among several competing uses for it.
Tax planning is part of it, but taxes aren’t the only consideration. We’ll look at taxes alongside cash reserves, debt, owner pay, retirement, growth, investing and your priorities so that saving taxes doesn’t automatically become the goal.
No. We can often make good planning decisions using reasonable estimates and ranges. If missing information could materially change a recommendation, I’ll tell you what needs to be resolved before you act.
A pre-meeting financial review, a private 60-minute planning session, and your personalized Profit Decision Map showing what belongs NOW, NEXT, LATER and NOT YET.
You don’t need another list of possibilities. You need to know what to do next - and in what order.
