XPX Chicago – Discussion: Impact of Tax Reform on Business Owners
February 23, 2018
Mike Karmin, Wealth Advisor of Strategic Wealth Partners (SWP), contributed to a panel discussion regarding the impact of tax reform on business owners. Professionals who attended the event asked Mike the following questions:
How does tax reform impact business owners who are considering selling?
Which business owners are impacted the most by the tax plan from an investment and financial planning standpoint?
What is the first thing that you did for your business owner clients after tax reform went through?
Why does recent tax reform make it even more critical for my team of professionals – such as a wealth manager, accountant, and attorney – to work together?
Mike is a Board and Programming Co-Chair of the leadership group Exit Planning Exchange (XPX) Chicago, a multiple-disciplinary, non-profit community of professional advisors who work collaboratively to help owners build valuable businesses and assist them in preparing and executing a successful transition.
The financial world is no stranger to disruption. The latest wave comes not from rogue traders or flash crashes, but from silicon and code. Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly transforming many industries, including the world of finance. But what might this mean for consumers seeking financial guidance?
In the world of financial planning, the federal estate tax tends to get a lot of press, but what often surprises some clients (and will impact more of them) is that states themselves also have their own estate or inheritance taxes. For clarity, an estate tax is levied and paid by the estate of the deceased, while an inheritance tax is paid by the heirs receiving the inherited property (with spouses generally exempt).
In today’s fast-paced world, it's easy to get caught up in the noise of predictions, forecasts, and market speculation. It's tempting to listen and react to predictions, but successful investing and sound financial planning involve tuning out the noise and taking a more disciplined, strategic approach.
