Our Three Cents is back after a brief hiatus, as Troy Harmon, CFA, CVA, Nick Antonucci, CVA, CEPA, and K.C. Smith, CFP®, CEPA of Henssler Financial are joined by Tax Partner John Dickson, CPA, CFP®, CVA, of Henssler CPAs & Advisers to discuss business owners who are trying to minimize taxes by running as many expenses as possible through their business. This practice—while perfectly legal and often a good strategy to manage taxes—drives down their income used for valuation purposes; therefore, making it an uphill battle for a business owner to obtain a higher valuation when preparing to sell their business.
“Our Three Cents” is a spinoff podcast of “Money Talks,” focusing on good business strategies, business valuations, and business exit planning. “Our Three Cents” is brought to you by Henssler Financial.
