Keep More of Your Hard Earned Money

Taxes are no one’s favorite topic (well, perhaps except for some accountants), but they’re an important part of growing and scaling your business.

This week, I chat with Wendy Barlin, CPA, who teaches business owners about tax deductions and keeping more of your own money.

Having spent her entire career helping people keep more of their money with tax strategies, Wendy knows the challenges you face as a business owner.

She walks us through how to make tax season a lot less stressful (and expensive) and teaches us:

[3:10] When to start planning for your taxes
[4:16] What deductions you can take within your business
[10:01] Calculating your home office deduction
[15:44] What happens if your deductions get questioned
[16:56] What you can’t deduct
[18:38] How to make tax time easy
