The Straight Money Talk Guy
Tradies Advantage, Brisbane
Dear Builders & Tradies,
You’re probably thinking, I’ve heard it all before, accountants talking about financial strategies to boost your profits and enjoy more tax savings…
You might even want to say to me, “No way! My accountant knows their stuff and has YEARS
of experience.”
But here’s a reality check:
No matter their education, experience, or credentials…
Most CPAs and Accountants are generalists who serve a wide range of clients in all kinds of
different industries.
That means they don’t have the time to develop the skills and expertise needed to
understand the unique challenges you face as a self-employed tradie or builder.
How do I know that?
Well, because that used to be me. I used to have accounting, tax, & financial consulting
clients of every size in all different kinds of industries.
But one day, I had a light bulb moment...
I realized that instead of trying to be a "jack of all trades" accountant (pardon the pun), I
needed to specialize in working with a specific type of client. And since I also own a construction business, it was the obvious choice.
When I thought about who I wanted to focus on serving, I noticed that out of all the clients
I'd worked with, I'd always been able to get builders & tradies especially good results...
In fact, when I had this realisation, I'd just saved one of our construction business clients over
$30,000 in taxes every single year by designing and implementing a profit boosting strategy for them that also includes a tax savings plan.
Now, I dedicate my accounting firm to serving construction and tradie business owners at every stage
of the ownership cycle.
And here's the thing...
No matter where you're at in your career or your business, while TAXES are your single biggest expense, that should not come at the expense of your profits. The worst part is, most builders and tradies are not aware of the most effective profit boosting strategies.
As an accountant who specialises in serving building and construction business owners, I know that owning and operating a construction business is very different from running any other kind of business…
In fact, I've discovered that there are 7 financial strategies that the top 1% of construction companies utilize.
The problem I run into all the time is that most builders and tradies don't have any idea that they’re missing out on one (or more) of these key strategies…
And that's why I decided to write my latest book…
