6 Tax Strategies for a Confident Retirement

How One Business Owner Reduced Taxes and Accelerated Business Growth


The Challenge

We recently worked with an entrepreneur who was frustrated by high tax bills and uncertain next moves. Through our personalized Strategy Session, they gained clear insights, actionable tax-saving strategies, and practical financial ideas—freeing them to confidently scale their business faster.

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 in ways designed to reduce risk and maximize after-tax growth.

The Result

Significantly reduced tax burden, freeing up capital to reinvest strategically into their business.

Created greater liquidity and financial flexibility, accelerating business growth and opportunities.

Established clear, actionable financial and tax strategies, providing clarity and confidence for long-term wealth building.
