Show notes by show producer: Anna Nygren

In this episode, Doug and Craig Cody discuss:

* How Craig got into tax planning/CPA

* Effective communication from accountant to customer

* Sole Proprietor, S Corp, LLC, ABC...wait, what?

* Knowing when to say, "Next!"

Key Takeaways:

* The two biggest mistakes as a customer are: not planning and operating out the wrong business entity

* There are a lot of things that you can take advantage of if you plan

* With the new tax law, they've greatly lowered the tax rates on the C-corporations that has opened a lot of opportunities

* Don't necessarily look at the accounting fee as an expense; it's an income! Because if your ROI increases five or ten times, it's saving you money
