Business Owners
For business owners, personal and business finances are one system. Retirement plan choices, entity structure, and self-employment tax interact, and the eventual sale or succession is often the largest financial event of the owner's life.
Planning ahead means choosing the right retirement plan, understanding equity compensation, and building a business that can run without you. Each of these decisions affects the others.
These pieces cover starting out, choosing a plan, and preparing well ahead of a transition. They are written for owners who want to make business decisions with personal wealth in mind.
