Event Highlights

Doors at 4.00 PM

Overview

Same income. Same circumstances. $8M apart. Follow two entrepreneurs and discover the tax decisions that changed everything.

What if two entrepreneurs had the same income, the same family circumstances, and faced the same challenges throughout life, yet one ended up with over $8,000,000 more wealth than the other?

In this workshop, we’ll follow the journey of Savvy Sarah and Careless Carl from startup to retirement and beyond. Through a practicaleasy-to-follow case study, you’ll discover how the tax decisions they made at each stage of life compounded into dramatically different outcomes.

This is not a sales pitch. Our goal is to make complex tax concepts simple, practical, and easy to understand.

Along the way, you'll learn:

Startup

Why some business owners pay tax at 11.2% while others pay over 53%.

Growth

The salary vs. dividend decision that could impact retirement by more than $1 million.

Family

A family tax saving strategy that can free up thousands of dollars each year.

 

Expansion

How proper planning saved one entrepreneur over $350,000.

Exit

How business owners can save up to $335,000 per family member when selling their business.

Legacy

How successful families protect their wealth and reduce a potential 75% tax hit at death.

Whether you're a business owner, professional corporation, entrepreneur with retained earnings, or someone thinking about retirement and succession planning, you'll leave with practical ideas you can apply immediately.
