ABA Business Leaders Podcast — Hosted by Stephen Smith & Johanna Eddy

In this episode of the ABA Business Leaders Podcast, Stephen and Johanna Eddy break down one of the most challenging (but most important) parts of running an ABA practice: finance. Whether you’re a new ABA provider or operating an established ABA organization, this conversation walks you through the key financial systems that keep an ABA business stable, compliant, and ready for growth.

Key Takeaways

✔ Accurate Bookkeeping Is Non-Negotiable

Before you can plan, grow, or even file taxes properly, you need clean, consistent books. Stephen and Johanna discuss why accurate bookkeeping is the backbone of every financial decision an ABA owner makes.

✔ Know Your Tax Structure

Your entity type determines how you’re taxed — and potentially how much you owe. The hosts break down common structures, what deductions business owners typically overlook, and how health insurance affects tax planning.

✔ Quarterly Taxes Don’t Have to Be Confusing

Johanna explains how quarterly payments work, common misconceptions, and strategies for staying ahead of unexpected tax bills.
