Business Planning

For business owners, personal and professional finances are deeply connected. We help you align your business income, retirement strategy, and long-term goals into one integrated planโ€”so your business supports your life, not the other way around.

Take charge of your financial future.

What Is Business Financial Planning?

Business planning is the financial oversight of your business as part of your personal wealth strategy. It means ensuring your compensation, retirement contributions, and business profits work together to build long-term security. We help owners turn business success into personal financial freedom.

Our Business Planning Services

We work with business owners, independent professionals, and entrepreneurs to help translate business income into lasting personal wealth. Our services include:

  • Owner Compensation Planning: Structuring salary, distributions, and benefits to balance tax efficiency, cash flow, and retirement goals.
  • Retirement Plan Integration: Designing and managing retirement solutions such as Solo 401(k)s, SEP IRAs, or Defined Benefit Plans that fit your income patterns and tax strategy.
  • Business Tax Planning Coordination: Working closely with your CPA to optimize deductions, reduce pass-through taxes, and align year-end planning with your broader financial goals.
  • Cash Flow and Budget Guidance: Helping you plan around irregular or seasonal income, manage expenses, and build reserves to support both business and personal goals.
  • Insurance & Risk Strategy: Evaluating life, disability, and business continuation coverage to protect your income and your familyโ€™s financial future.
  • Succession & Continuity Planning: Preparing your personal finances for a future sale, transition, or unexpected disruption to the business.
  • Benefits Review: Helping you evaluate group and owner-specific benefitsโ€”such as health plans, QSEHRAs, and executive perksโ€”for efficiency and value.
  • Investment Planning for Owners: Managing outside investments to complement your business exposure and reduce risk concentration.

Who We Help

We serve small business owners, independent contractors, and professional service providersโ€”whether you’re just getting started, managing a growing operation, or thinking ahead to life after the business. Our goal is to help you extract value on your terms, and keep your future in focus.

FAQ About Business Planning

How often should I revisit my business plan as it relates to financial planning?2025-08-17T01:49:23-04:00

A business plan tied to personal finances should be reviewed regularlyโ€”at least annuallyโ€”and whenever there are major changes such as expansion, ownership changes, or shifts in cash flow. These reviews provide an opportunity to update investment strategies, reassess retirement contributions, and ensure your personal financial plan evolves alongside your business.

What financial planning areas should business owners focus on most?2025-08-17T01:49:16-04:00

Key areas include liquidity management, retirement plan structures, risk management, and succession planning. Business owners also benefit from strategies to diversify wealth outside the company to reduce concentration risk. We help analyze how these elements fit into an integrated financial strategy that supports both business stability and personal wealth growth.

How can business planning affect my personal financial goals?2025-08-17T01:49:03-04:00

Your business is often your largest asset, and decisions within it directly impact your personal wealth. Choices like reinvesting profits, paying yourself a salary, or setting up retirement plans influence your long-term financial picture. While accountants and attorneys address tax and legal requirements, our role is to show how business cash flow and investment decisions connect to personal retirement, estate, and wealth-building goals.

What does business planning mean in the context of financial planning?2025-08-17T01:48:48-04:00

From an investment perspective, business planning is about aligning your companyโ€™s financial resources and growth objectives with long-term wealth goals. This includes cash flow strategies, reinvestment decisions, retirement planning for owners, and preparing for eventual succession or sale. We help business owners evaluate how business strategies integrate with their personal financial plans.
