The “Henssler Money Talks” hosts are joined by special guest Matthew Reed, CPA/ABV, for an in-depth look at the One Big Beautiful Act, passed on July 4, highlighting the potential impact on both individual and business tax planning strategies.Original Air Date: August 2, 2025Read the Article: https://www.henssler.com/tips-overtime-and-salt-whats-changing-in-your-taxes

This week, we're breaking down several key economic reports, including the Conference Board Consumer Confidence Index, the first estimate of second-quarter GDP, and the PCE deflator—the Fed's preferred measure of inflation. It's been a data-heavy week, capped by the conclusion of the Federal Reserve's FOMC meeting on Wednesday, where policymakers held rates steady and signaled a more cautious outlook on future rate moves.We're also joined by special guest Matthew Reed, CPA/ABV, for a post–tax season debrief. He shares key takeaways from the most recent filing season and walks us through major provisions in the One Big Beautiful Act, passed on July 4, highlighting the potential impact on both individual and business tax planning strategies.Plus, in Part 2 of our Evolution of Payments series, we dive into stablecoins—a type of cryptocurrency designed to maintain a steady value by being pegged to assets like the U.S. dollar. But if they're backed by dollars, why not just use dollars? We explore what sets stablecoins apart from more volatile cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum, and why they're gaining traction in the financial world despite their dollar ties.Join hosts Nick Antonucci, CVA, CEPA, Director of Research, and Managing Associates K.C. Smith, CFP®, CEPA, and D.J. Barker, CWS®, and Kelly-Lynne Scalice, a seasoned communicator and host, on Henssler Money Talks as they explore key financial strategies to help investors navigate market uncertainty.Henssler Money Talks — August 2, 2025  |  Season 39, Episode 31Timestamps and Chapters5:06: Fed Holds Rates, No Set Plan for a Future Rate Cut 14:42: Matthew Reed, CPA/ABV: Post-Tax Season Debrief 22:18: Matthew Reed, CPA/ABV: OBBBA Changes that Affect You43:23: Part 2, Evolution of Payments: StablecoinFollow Henssler:  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/HensslerFinancial/ YouTube:  https://www.youtube.com/c/HensslerFinancial LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/henssler-financial/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/hensslerfinancial/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@hensslerfinancial?lang=en X: https://www.x.com/hensslergroup  “Henssler Money Talks” is brought to you by Henssler Financial.

They discuss how risk factors and company size influence valuation multiples and provide practical tips for applying these concepts in real-world scenarios. Key takeaways include: Combining income, market, and asset approaches helps mitigate the risk of skewed valuation results Understanding and adjusting for risk factors, such as customer and supplier risks, is crucial in determining accurate valuation multiples.

Hosts:  Josh Shilts, CPA/ABV/CFF/CGMA, ASA, CFE. Shilts CPA, PLLC Nene Gianfala, CPA/ABV, CEIV, ASA-BV/IA, Chaffe & Associates, Inc. Guest:  Jennifer L. Anderson, JD, Baker Donelson Jennifer Anderson joins Nene and Josh to discuss the Federal Trade Commissions' (“FTC”) proposed rule to ban Non-Compete Agreements.  What's at stake is employers' ability to impose noncompete agreements on their workers. Noncompetes are a widespread and often exploitative practice that suppresses wages, hampers innovation and blocks entrepreneurs from starting new businesses.  Ms. Anderson provides in-depth analysis and insight on measures businesses can undertake to mitigate some of the perceived threats often understood to be ‘covered' by a non-compete agreement.  Nene discusses the potential impact on the valuation of non-competes from a financial reporting perspective, while Josh mentions the repercussions it might have on non competes in a litigation context.
