When your advisors don’t talk to each other, you pay the price—literally.

We had a client come to us needing a document for a transaction. They were financing the purchase of some equipment for another company.

The default solution would have been a promissory note—quick, simple, and what most professionals would draft without a second thought.

Ever felt like your business is profitable in your financial reports but cash poor in terms of what's coming and going in your bank account?

Or maybe one big deposit hits the account and you feel great — but then payroll clears, vendors get paid, and suddenly you're scrambling again trying to understand your company's cash flow cycle.

Today’s topic we want to touch on is what the pool of potential buyers of your business, when we boil it down, are looking for. Now, if you’ve thought about selling your business–or are even just wanting to keep your options open, we want to help business owners, such as yourselves, reverse-engineer what private equity (PE) firms are evaluating so you can begin preparing now—before you may be even ready to sell. The goal is to position yourselves as a premium, investable company, not just a profitable one. 

Today, I want to talk to you about why analyzing your business using a segmented P&L is essential in today’s business environment if you want to remain/become competitive in growing your profitability. 

Maybe you’ve asked:

"My Revenue is up, we’re growing topline… but I don’t see my profits and more importantly, my cashflow reflecting this growth?"

Choosing the right business entity is an  important decision for any entrepreneur. It can influence everything from liability protection to taxation and growth potential. Many business owners start their journey informally, often as sole proprietors or default partnerships, but, as the business grows, seeking expert advice to establish a formal entity becomes essential to protect assets and optimize operations.

As we approach the 2025 tax filing year it is important for taxpayers to be aware of upcoming changes.

One change we look for each year is inflation-adjusted tax brackets. The IRS has released information on its new inflation-adjusted tax brackets for 2025.  Inflation-adjusted tax brackets occur as the IRS adjusts various tax provisions in an effort to prevent "bracket creep" (when inflation pushes taxpayers into higher income tax brackets despite their purchasing power not having increased).

One of the most impactful tax incentives for businesses is Section 179 of the Internal Revenue Code, commonly referred to as the "Section 179 Deduction." This powerful tax tool can help businesses to immediately write off the cost of certain assets in the year bought, reducing taxable income and freeing up capital for growth.
