How One Business Owner Saved $200k in Taxes - And Used It to Scale Faster


The Challenge

Mark, a successful business owner, faced a massive tax bill that was eating into his ability to reinvest in growth. He wanted to expand operations but felt stuck due to his high tax liability.

What We Did

✔ Implemented a Cash Balance Plan – Allowed Mark to defer a significant amount of pre-tax income, reducing his immediate tax burden while building long-term retirement savings.


✔ Conducted a Cost Segregation Study – Accelerated depreciation on his commercial property, creating immediate tax deductions that offset taxable income.


✔ Integrated Smart Asset Protection & Tax-Efficient Investments – Structured his business wealth to reduce risk and maximize after-tax growth.

The Result

✅ $200,000+ in tax savings in one year—which freed up capital to reinvest in his business.

✅ Hired two new employees and expanded operations—fueling additional growth.

✅ Long-term tax reduction strategy in place—ensuring continued efficiency as the business scales.
