You plan everyone’s money but yours.
Retirement strategies for CPAs, attorneys, and practice partners.
The professional’s exit myth
You know the cobbler’s kids story. You live it. Your calendar is full of everyone else’s numbers, your own plan is a SEP and a someday partner buyout, and you already know the buyout math underwhelms: book-of-business multiples are thin, payouts stretch over years, and they depend on the next generation’s ability to pay. The standard advice you give W-2 clients was never built for a practice owner’s exit.
The shift
Every strong year, protected dollars come OUT of the practice, into structures built for tax-advantaged retirement income. Life insurance strategies with accessible cash value. Fixed indexed annuities that convert peak earning years into income you can’t outlive. Executive bonus plans for the associate you can’t lose. You’ve seen these structures in your clients’ files. This time they’re for your column. Protect. Keep. Convert.
I wrote the book on this
The Owner’s Blind Spot covers exactly this: the risks owners overlook and the structures that fix them. My book names the blind spot. The Blind Spot Method is how I close it. Get the book on Amazon.
