He explains how his firm differs from more traditional accounting firms and how that leads his team to be able to understand tax insights that other firms may miss.    Wing and Obed discuss in practical terms how Obed's approach to clients differs, and how he spends a significant amount of time getting to know the client and their overall situation during discovery.

Recorded live at the Festival of Accounting and Bookkeeping, this TMI-style episode peels back the curtain on juggling VAT returns while breastfeeding, feelings of imposter syndrome despite having qualifications, and the emotional and physical toll of trying to “do it all”.

Send us a textCurious about commercial real estate but unsure where to start? In this enlightening conversation, commercial lending expert Kamyar demystifies the process of acquiring commercial properties and reveals why they often represent superior investments to residential real estate.The financial advantages of commercial property ownership become immediately clear as Kamyar explains the hands-off nature of management - "You're literally just getting rent every month" while tenants handle most maintenance responsibilities. This stark contrast to the constant demands of residential properties makes commercial real estate particularly attractive for investors seeking passive income streams.Before taking the commercial plunge, prospective investors should perform crucial preparation steps. Reviewing credit reports, analyzing tax returns, and understanding different qualifying ratios for owner-occupied versus investment properties form the foundation of successful commercial investing. The conversation explores various financing options, from 25-year fixed SBA loans to conventional structures amortized over decades.Tax strategies emerge as a compelling reason to consider commercial investments. Cost segregation allows accelerated depreciation, while opportunity zones offer potential elimination of capital gains taxes after ten years of ownership. "I have clients that buy one or two buildings a year just to take advantage of cost segregation," Kamyar reveals, demonstrating how savvy investors leverage these advantages to rapidly expand their portfolios.The discussion extends beyond immediate benefits to long-term legacy planning. Establishing trusts that ensure properties remain family assets across generations creates true multigenerational wealth rather than temporary prosperity. First-time investors receive practical guidance: focus locally, determine your investment goals, and leverage free resources like LoopNet to identify properties.Ready to transform your financial future through commercial real estate?

Reviewing your tax return is crucial for financial planning. Understanding your tax return helps avoid future whammies. Taxes are retroactive; you only know your tax rate after the year ends. Your total tax owed is reconciled with what you've paid throughout the year. Aim to have your tax payments equal your total tax owed. Adjust your estimated taxes based on income fluctuations. Self-employed individuals must be proactive with tax payments. Utilizing tax programs can simplify the filing process.

This time of year I get a lot of financial questions from teachers. We've just gotten through the holiday spending spree, new year's might have inspired some financial goal-setting, and then there's the looming tax deadline in April, so there's a lot to think about. Sometimes the questions I get are really specific to an individual, but lately a bunch of clients and listeners have said “hey, you talk about reviewing financials on a regular basis as a way of getting more familiar with my financial picture, but what exactly should I be reviewing?” And they're totally right, I haven't been very specific here. So today I'm going to do that. I'm going to show you how to find some key numbers on your tax return that can give you powerful insights into your business and personal finances.

When it comes to tax deductions and business expenses, business owners can often fall into two extreme mindsets, either trying to deduct everything under the sun or being too conservative and missing out on legitimate tax savings. In this episode, Danielle Hayden, CEO and founder of Kickstart Accounting, Inc., and Kelsey Chester, Kickstart's Lead Account Manager, break down tax deductions in a way that's clear and strategic. They'll walk you through what truly qualifies as a business expense, how to avoid common tax mistakes, and why smart financial planning is about more than just lowering your tax bill, while still claiming the savings you deserve. Key Takeaways:  Understand the “Ordinary & Necessary” Rule: The IRS allows deductions for expenses that are common in your industry and essential for running your business. If you can clearly explain the expense's purpose in an audit, you're likely in the clear! Avoid IRS Red Flags: Overspending on out-of-the-ordinary purchases or misclassifying personal expenses as business ones can trigger unwanted IRS attention. Your Business's Health & Goals Matter: Trying to write off too many personal expenses can hurt your ability to get business loans or sell your company later.  Separate Business & Personal Finances: Keep all business expenses on a business account or card to ensure clean, organized records. Your bookkeeper can only track and make deductions based on what they see in your business accounts.  Smart Travel Deductions: Business travel is deductible, but the primary purpose must be work-related. A "board meeting" at Disney with your family? Not so much. Invest in the Right Money Team: Your bookkeeper, accountant, and tax strategist should be working to keep your finances organized, tax-efficient, and strategically planned all year long, not just at tax time. Think Long-Term with Tax Strategy: Lowering your tax bill is great, but don't do it at the expense of your business's future. Plan ahead so deductions today don't limit growth opportunities tomorrow.

Click here to work with us! A lot of retirees assume their tax situation gets simpler once they stop working, but that's not always the case. There are plenty of ways high-net-worth retirees end up paying more than they need to—sometimes without even realizing it.  Maybe it's interest and dividend income getting taxed at higher rates, or IRA withdrawals happening earlier than necessary. Maybe it's something as simple as missing the right way to report charitable giving. These things add up, and over time, they can quietly eat away at retirement savings. Some of the biggest inefficiencies show up on tax returns in ways people don't always expect. Social Security benefits taken too soon, mutual funds kicking off surprise capital gains, or estimated tax payments falling short and triggering penalties—it all matters.  There are ways to structure income, investments, and withdrawals to keep more of what's earned, but they take a little planning. The goal isn't just to minimize taxes for the sake of it, but to make sure every dollar is working as efficiently as possible. Most of these inefficiencies can be fixed with a few small adjustments. Some require a different way of thinking about income in retirement, others just mean taking advantage of tax rules that are already there. Either way, it's worth a closer look. A little awareness now can mean thousands saved over the years.  Outline of This Episode (0:00) Inefficiencies on Rich Retirees' Tax Returns (4:07) Top tax inefficiencies: Interest, dividends, and premature IRA withdrawals (6:52) Charitable distributions, Social Security timing, and phantom capital gains (9:33) Capital gains, charitable intent, and avoiding underpayment penalties (12:24) Listener question: Travel spending habits of wealthy retirees (19:05) Listener question: Callable CDs and interest rate risk (21:16) Closing thoughts and practical takeaways Resources & People Mentioned The Retirement Podcast Network Kiplinger's Article TurboTax Safe Harbor Guide Fidelity Charitable Connect with Benjamin Brandt Become a Client: www.retirementstartstoday.com/start Get the Retire-Ready Toolkit: http://retirementstartstodayradio.com/ Follow Ben on Twitter: https://twitter.com/retiremeasap Join the newsletter: https://retirementstartstodayradio.com/newsletter Dive deeper into retirement planning with Ben at www.RetirementIncome.University Subscribe to Retirement Starts Today on Apple Podcasts, Stitcher, TuneIn, Podbean, Player FM, iHeart, or Spotify
