Most CPAs file your return and move on.

We’re not hating! It’s just how it often goes.

And it’s also why one of our primary values is out-of-the-box thinking.

In this episode, Mike and Kevin show you what out-of-the-box looks like by unpacking two of their favorite creative tax strategy examples: the Box House investment and a $30M+ golf resort syndication deal where outside-the-box tax thinking solved a business problem nobody else could crack.

You’ll hear about how:

The Box House strategy turns a $100K passive investment into a $500K tax deduction… legally, with court opinions to back it

Creative tax planning can make or break an entire business deal

Most CPAs stop at “no.” The difference is curiosity: digging into a reputable tax opinion instead of dismissing it

You should call your tax strategist before you sign on the dotted line. Once the deal is structured, the window closes

What big transaction do you have coming up that your CPA doesn’t even know about yet? 💰
