30 - How to Hire a Tax Planner

I'm thrilled to bring you a replay of my appearance on the Keep What You Earn Podcast hosted by the incredible Shannon Weinstein. In this engaging discussion, we delve into the world of accounting and tax planning, shedding light on valuable insights that you won't want to miss.

I open up about my journey as the mastermind behind the Concierge Accountant Program and Tax Plan IQ, a groundbreaking tax planning software. My passion for uplifting the accounting profession and helping clients thrive in what they love to do has been a big motivator for me!

Shannon and I share how our paths crossed, leading us to an insightful exchange about my transition into accounting and the pivotal shift in my mindset that shaped my career. We debunk the myth that tax preparers automatically save you money, urging you to actively seek tax advisory services from your accountant. Proactive planning, as we discuss, is the key to financial success.

We explore the essence of tax advisory services, the difference between tax preparers and tax advisors, and the unique ROI method of tax planning that sets the stage for optimum financial strategies. While AI's role in the accounting field sparks fear and debates, I assure you that accountants won't be replaced. Instead, AI offers opportunities for accountants to redefine their roles and stand out in the industry.

As we wrap up our conversation, we touch on risk tolerance, priority savings, and choosing the right tax advisor. If you're intrigued by the world of tax planning, eager to understand AI's impact, and keen on optimizing your financial journey, this episode is a must-listen.
