In this episode we are going to talk about how to stay out of jail … when it comes to your taxes ...

 

I am excited to introduce our guest.

 

So, we brought in a CPA who has coached authors, celebrities and small businesses for over thirty years. He is the guy that the other accountants turn to with their questions.
