The Exit Coaching is a business service, and is therefore completely deductible as a business expense.
The amount of the Financial Planning fee that is deductible depends on you and your tax preparer. Some advisors deduct the entire expense if the business is a pass-through entity like an LLC with the philosophy that you are your business. Some advisors don’t deduct anything because they view it as personal financial planning. We commit at least 1 financial planning meeting per year to focusing on the business so the fee is at least partially tax-deductible.

We know it can be difficult to manage irregular cash flow in your business, so we offer billing according to your preferred payment schedule (i.e. monthly, quarterly, annually, etc.)
We offer a free consultation so we can both understand how to provide the help you need at a reasonable price.
