63. Separating Business and Personal Finances: A Financial Coach's Guide


Listen Later

Be sure to catch the whole series on financial coaching with business owners.

As a financial coach, I've witnessed firsthand the chaos and stress that can arise when business owners intertwine their business and personal finances. By guiding clients through the essential step of separating the two, we lay the foundation for financial clarity and strategic decision-making.

This week on the podcast, I walk you through the line-by-line analysis of personal and business financial worksheets (link below!), highlighting common expenses that often blur the lines between the two. From cell phone bills and vehicle expenses to health insurance premiums and tax filing fees, we explore the nuances of categorizing these costs effectively.

One of the key takeaways is the importance of determining the business owner's necessary paycheck amount to cover personal expenses. This figure serves as a starting point for creating a structured financial plan that alleviates the overwhelming pressure many entrepreneurs face.

We also touch on the delicate balance between the cash flow of a business and the tax deductibility of expenses, emphasizing the significance of seeking guidance from a trusted accountant. By collaborating with tax professionals, we can ensure that our clients are making informed decisions and optimizing their financial strategies.

Throughout the episode, I share insights and tips to help financial coaches navigate this process with their own clients. By meeting business owners where they are and providing clear, actionable advice, we can empower them to take control of their finances and build a solid foundation for long-term success.

Whether you're a seasoned financial coach or just starting your journey, this episode is a must-listen. Join me as we explore the transformative power of separating business and personal finances and discover how you can guide your clients towards financial clarity and peace of mind.
