Tax season is just around the corner and there’s little time left to make moves that will mitigate your tax bill for 2020. I recently sat down with a good friend of mine to discuss these end of the year tax power plays.

As we continue our deep dive into bridging the retirement wealth gap, I want to take a look at a subject that affects so many of us. There are so many people who deal with this type of asset that it is one of the largest types of asset holdings in the investment world. I am speaking, of course, of real estate. Up to now, we’ve tackled how to calculate our wealth gap, business ROI, and even taxes at the time of sale. But in today’s entry, we will focus on how to calculate the ROI on investment property.

Recently, I began talking about the importance of business owners having a support team. Although I gave an overview of what the business owner’s support team lineup should look like, I want to provide a little more detail for some of the All-Star players. In today’s blog, we will discuss the first baseman and clean-up hitter in our baseball analogy, the rockstar CPA. Join me as I explain why the forward-thinking CPA is a must on a business owner’s support team.

At this point, we’ve all heard about the SBA’s Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) that was rolled out as a part of the Cares Act. There’s even a good chance that you have taken part in this program. While the PPP has many potential benefits to business owners during the COVID-19 crisis, there may be some hidden dangers in it, as well. In today’s blog, I’m going to share some very important information with you. The purpose of sharing this with you is to inform you of some of the hidden danger business owners face with the PPP loan, and hopefully help you to avoid any troubles.
