Most business owners hear “bonus depreciation” and think:
“Cool… bigger write-off.”
But the real conversation is when it makes sense, how it fits into your overall strategy, and whether it actually improves long-term cash flow.
Had a great time breaking this down with a room full of business owners this week.
The tax code can be complicated—but when used correctly, it can become a powerful tool for growth.

Had the honor of sharing accounting and tax insights with a hungry group of medical spa entrepreneurs this weekend. I love what I do!
Having a tax strategy does NOT make you audit proof.
This is one of the biggest misconceptions I see.
Just because you have a strategy in place…
Doesn’t mean you’re protected.
What it does mean is:
👉 You’re in a stronger position
But that’s only half the equation.
The other half is:
– Ex*****on
– Documentation
That’s why we’re constantly going back with clients to:
– Update things
– Clean things up
– Revisit assumptions
(reasonable comp, Augusta rule, etc.)
Because strategy alone isn’t enough—
It has to be maintained.
If you haven’t revisited your strategy recently, it’s probably worth a second look.
My dogs listening to my work-from-home calls all day…
At this point they've probably heard more about tax strategy than most business owners 😅
Jokes aside—this is usually the time of year where the conversations shift from:
“We’ll deal with it later”
to
“Alright… what should we actually be doing?”
The earlier you start thinking about it, the more options you have.
Q2 is where a lot of that groundwork happens.
If you’re starting to think about it, happy to take a look at your setup.
April 16th… the real tax season starts today.
Yesterday was the deadline.
Today is where things actually get interesting.
Because the truth is—filing your taxes is just reporting what already happened.
It doesn’t change the outcome.
Extensions get a bad reputation… but they shouldn’t.
In a lot of cases, they create space to:
– Slow things down
– Get clarity
– Actually think through strategy
The biggest tax savings don’t come from rushing to file.
They come from making better decisions before year-end.
Structure
Timing
Planning
That’s what moves the needle.
April 16th isn’t the end of tax season.
It’s the reset.
If you’re on extension this year, it might actually be the best thing you could’ve done.
Happy Tax Day, to those who celebrate 🍾
For a lot of business owners, today feels like a finish line.
In reality… it’s more like a checkpoint.
The biggest opportunities to reduce taxes don’t happen when you file—they happen in the months after.
Structure
Timing
Strategy
That’s what actually moves the needle for next year.
Cheers to getting it done
If you’re already thinking about how to make next year better, happy to take a look at your setup.
Be nice to your CPA… they’re trying 😅
This time of year, especially, most CPAs are buried.
Long hours
Constant deadlines
And a lot of pressure to get everything right
The truth is—most of them care more than you think.
They’re doing their best with the information they have and the time they’re given.
That said…
There is a difference between:
👉 Filing taxes correctly
👉 And proactively building a strategy to reduce them
And most just don’t have the capacity to do both at a high level.
If you’ve ever wondered what might be getting missed on the strategy side, happy to take a look.
If your business made $750K+ last year and your tax bill felt ‘about right’…
There’s a good chance you overpaid.
Not because anything was done wrong—
Just because no one actually built a strategy.
That’s the gap I see most often.
Most business owners don’t have a tax problem.
They have a strategy problem.
Filing accurately ≠ paying the least legally possible.
And most CPAs stop at accuracy.
The difference between those two approaches is often tens of thousands per year.
That gap compounds fast.
Just helped a client uncover ~$48K in tax savings…
Nothing exotic.
– Tweaked entity structure
– Adjusted comp strategy
– Layered in a few timing moves
They already had a CPA.
This wasn’t about doing more—it was about doing it right.
Most business owners don’t realize what’s being missed because no one’s showing them what could be done.
If you want a second set of eyes on your setup, I’m happy to walk through it.
If you made $500K–$1M+ last year and your CPA didn’t proactively build a tax strategy…
You’re probably overpaying.
Not because they’re bad—just because most are focused on filing, not planning.
The biggest gaps I see:
– Wrong entity structure
– No timing strategy
– Missed depreciation opportunities
This is where $20K–$100K+ usually gets left on the table.
If you’re not 100% confident your setup is optimized, happy to take a look.
