00:00:00 | 00:00:03 | hey everybody rob satcher from feedback |
00:00:01 | 00:00:05 | wrench um this is the second video |
00:00:03 | 00:00:06 | toking about corvie and a follow-up i |
00:00:05 | 00:00:08 | have an old video about corey i had a |
00:00:06 | 00:00:09 | guy that came in and made some comments |
00:00:08 | 00:00:11 | about corvy and now i'm going to tok |
00:00:09 | 00:00:12 | about why |
00:00:11 | 00:00:15 | tax planning is not enough for a |
00:00:12 | 00:00:16 | successful plan tax planning is simply |
00:00:15 | 00:00:18 | not enough for you to build a successful |
00:00:16 | 00:00:20 | tax and accounting firm now first off if |
00:00:18 | 00:00:21 | you're starting a bookkeeping business |
00:00:20 | 00:00:23 | if you're starting a tax firm you're |
00:00:21 | 00:00:24 | starting a cpa firm i cannot emphasize |
00:00:23 | 00:00:26 | this enough i think what you should do |
00:00:24 | 00:00:29 | is that you should create an outsourced |
00:00:26 | 00:00:30 | accounting business now that what that |
00:00:29 | 00:00:33 | does is you're going to do a number of |
00:00:30 | 00:00:34 | things we're going to push in here um a |
00:00:33 | 00:00:35 | little bit different value proposition |
00:00:34 | 00:00:37 | what you're not is you're not working |
00:00:35 | 00:00:39 | with individuals unless they own a |
00:00:37 | 00:00:41 | business and you're not basing your |
00:00:39 | 00:00:42 | business on a volume of tax clients what |
00:00:41 | 00:00:44 | you're trying to do is work with a small |
00:00:42 | 00:00:46 | group of business owners charging a |
00:00:44 | 00:00:48 | monthly retainer okay so that's the |
00:00:46 | 00:00:50 | underpinning check out my 500 course on |
00:00:48 | 00:00:52 | my website feedbackrench.com and you can |
00:00:50 | 00:00:54 | subscribe buy that for 500 that'll show |
00:00:52 | 00:00:56 | you the core of that right but let's |
00:00:54 | 00:00:58 | tok more about why tax planning is not |
00:00:56 | 00:00:59 | enough to be a successful firm okay so |
00:00:58 | 00:01:01 | in the same sentence that you're going |
00:00:59 | 00:01:02 | to say hey |
00:01:01 | 00:01:04 | i'm gonna be able to save you twelve |
00:01:02 | 00:01:05 | thousand dollars this year and in the |
00:01:04 | 00:01:07 | next couple of years you're gonna save |
00:01:05 | 00:01:09 | six thousand dollars a year that's gonna |
00:01:07 | 00:01:11 | be great but then they have to implement |
00:01:09 | 00:01:12 | it and when they implement it you're |
00:01:11 | 00:01:14 | going to go ahead and you're going to |
00:01:12 | 00:01:16 | ask them to pay you you're going to have |
00:01:14 | 00:01:20 | them pay you between 500 and 1500 a |
00:01:16 | 00:01:22 | month so if it's about saving money |
00:01:20 | 00:01:23 | to a degree |
00:01:22 | 00:01:25 | you're |
00:01:23 | 00:01:27 | you're sideways right they need your |
00:01:25 | 00:01:29 | services okay and that's what i'm gonna |
00:01:27 | 00:01:31 | get into |
00:01:29 | 00:01:33 | i don't think that the tax saving tax |
00:01:31 | 00:01:35 | savings is basically what you use to |
00:01:33 | 00:01:37 | finance yourself to pay for yourself so |
00:01:35 | 00:01:38 | basically it's a wash i was just on the |
00:01:37 | 00:01:40 | phone with a gentleman that i know has |
00:01:38 | 00:01:41 | been doing his own books and his parents |
00:01:40 | 00:01:43 | have been helping him because they're |
00:01:41 | 00:01:44 | entrepreneurs as well |
00:01:43 | 00:01:45 | and he's gotten to a point where mom |
00:01:44 | 00:01:47 | can't do his books anymore and all of a |
00:01:45 | 00:01:50 | sudden things are starting to creep up |
00:01:47 | 00:01:51 | on him he had some tax explosions show |
00:01:50 | 00:01:52 | up where all of a sudden he owed a ton |
00:01:51 | 00:01:54 | of money he couldn't pay for it so they |
00:01:52 | 00:01:56 | tried to like find more write-offs and |
00:01:54 | 00:01:58 | blah blah blah and just he told me he |
00:01:56 | 00:02:00 | goes rob this is just eating my soul |
00:01:58 | 00:02:02 | this is just eating at me i'm fighting |
00:02:00 | 00:02:04 | with my wife i don't have any i just i |
00:02:02 | 00:02:05 | go you don't have any peace dude he's |
00:02:04 | 00:02:06 | like no |
00:02:05 | 00:02:07 | and |
00:02:06 | 00:02:09 | what was interesting is is this whole |
00:02:07 | 00:02:10 | thing |
00:02:09 | 00:02:12 | i was telling him i'm like dude you're |
00:02:10 | 00:02:14 | not an escort i'm pretty sure he's |
00:02:12 | 00:02:15 | making 150 g's i'm like i'm pretty sure |
00:02:14 | 00:02:17 | you have like |
00:02:15 | 00:02:19 | four to seven thousand dollars with the |
00:02:17 | 00:02:21 | se taxes you won't have to pay and if |
00:02:19 | 00:02:23 | you go find somebody that will do this |
00:02:21 | 00:02:25 | for you it's probably going to cost you |
00:02:23 | 00:02:27 | 500 to 800 a month so basically you can |
00:02:25 | 00:02:29 | get all your accounting done get rid of |
00:02:27 | 00:02:32 | that horrible feeling and it won't cost |
00:02:29 | 00:02:33 | you anything |
00:02:32 | 00:02:34 | so notike what i did there i'm not |
00:02:33 | 00:02:38 | trying to tell them boy you're going to |
00:02:34 | 00:02:41 | get rich i recommend using tax savings |
00:02:38 | 00:02:44 | as a way to finance the accounting |
00:02:41 | 00:02:45 | services and finance the retirement plan |
00:02:44 | 00:02:47 | and the reason why i'm saying this this |
00:02:45 | 00:02:49 | isn't what i say i tok with scores of |
00:02:47 | 00:02:51 | accountants every week |
00:02:49 | 00:02:53 | scores a month and essentially what i'm |
00:02:51 | 00:02:54 | hearing is that that's the best approach |
00:02:53 | 00:02:57 | from the people that are having the most |
00:02:54 | 00:02:58 | success the tax plan is good |
00:02:57 | 00:03:00 | but |
00:02:58 | 00:03:02 | it's a little iffy because not only do |
00:03:00 | 00:03:04 | you have to do the tax plan but then you |
00:03:02 | 00:03:05 | have to implement it right so you charge |
00:03:04 | 00:03:06 | somebody six thousand dollars then you |
00:03:05 | 00:03:08 | have to set it up and then you're like |
00:03:06 | 00:03:10 | oh by the way now you're an s corp run |
00:03:08 | 00:03:11 | your own payroll and figure that out |
00:03:10 | 00:03:12 | throughout the year that's a little bit |
00:03:11 | 00:03:14 | difficult so |
00:03:12 | 00:03:16 | basically what my premise here is that |
00:03:14 | 00:03:19 | tax planning is not enough for a |
00:03:16 | 00:03:21 | successful firm a successful firm has |
00:03:19 | 00:03:22 | three value propositions okay and this |
00:03:21 | 00:03:23 | is all |
00:03:22 | 00:03:25 | something that i had learned while we |
00:03:23 | 00:03:27 | were growing nuanced financial tax and |
00:03:25 | 00:03:29 | accounting because the scenario where i |
00:03:27 | 00:03:30 | said hey look at this we're gonna save |
00:03:29 | 00:03:32 | you |
00:03:30 | 00:03:34 | six thousand dollars this year and all |
00:03:32 | 00:03:35 | you gotta do is sign up but when you do |
00:03:34 | 00:03:37 | this there's compliance and the |
00:03:35 | 00:03:39 | government makes you do this stuff so |
00:03:37 | 00:03:41 | you're gonna have to hire us for 300 a |
00:03:39 | 00:03:43 | month and i remember i did two or three |
00:03:41 | 00:03:45 | presentations where they were becoming |
00:03:43 | 00:03:47 | clients and then all of a sudden they |
00:03:45 | 00:03:49 | realize that i showed him this way |
00:03:47 | 00:03:52 | and then showed him that they had to pay |
00:03:49 | 00:03:54 | us to do it and he felt manipulated |
00:03:52 | 00:03:55 | and not only did he feel manipulated he |
00:03:54 | 00:03:57 | saw right through it he's like that's |
00:03:55 | 00:03:58 | just stupid why don't you just set me up |
00:03:57 | 00:03:59 | and i'll run my own payroll if that's |
00:03:58 | 00:04:01 | all it is i don't want to pay for this |
00:03:59 | 00:04:04 | whole thing i'm like |
00:04:01 | 00:04:06 | jeepers and what i realized is |
00:04:04 | 00:04:08 | that that wasn't sufficient enough again |
00:04:06 | 00:04:10 | tax planning wasn't sufficient for that |
00:04:08 | 00:04:12 | customer now it is for mo many people |
00:04:10 | 00:04:13 | many people just get excited about this |
00:04:12 | 00:04:14 | but i think if you're intellectually |
00:04:13 | 00:04:16 | honest |
00:04:14 | 00:04:18 | um |
00:04:16 | 00:04:20 | you will reconcile this idea that |
00:04:18 | 00:04:21 | people's |
00:04:20 | 00:04:23 | savings |
00:04:21 | 00:04:26 | the the perceived value around saved |
00:04:23 | 00:04:28 | taxes either requires you to pompously |
00:04:26 | 00:04:31 | push it in their face non-stop |
00:04:28 | 00:04:32 | or they have it takes a discipline to |
00:04:31 | 00:04:34 | really |
00:04:32 | 00:04:36 | appreciate that and that's not there so |
00:04:34 | 00:04:37 | then not only did i have that feeling |
00:04:36 | 00:04:39 | that it wasn't good enough so then we |
00:04:37 | 00:04:41 | kind of switched and my conversations |
00:04:39 | 00:04:42 | and sales pitches went more towards you |
00:04:41 | 00:04:44 | know we're going to do all this for you |
00:04:42 | 00:04:46 | and it's going to save you time |
00:04:44 | 00:04:49 | and then what happened is i took a step |
00:04:46 | 00:04:51 | back as i i left nuance financial and |
00:04:49 | 00:04:53 | started helping other firms and just |
00:04:51 | 00:04:55 | hindsight was 2020 and i realized that |
00:04:53 | 00:04:57 | our best clients that we had |
00:04:55 | 00:04:59 | what we were is we were the alternative |
00:04:57 | 00:05:01 | to patty part-timer okay so let's just |
00:04:59 | 00:05:03 | dive into the three things that are |
00:05:01 | 00:05:06 | really the good foundation for an |
00:05:03 | 00:05:07 | excellent outsourced accountant firm and |
00:05:06 | 00:05:09 | tax planning is not enough so the number |
00:05:07 | 00:05:10 | one thing is that your value proposition |
00:05:09 | 00:05:12 | is you're going to help them reduce |
00:05:10 | 00:05:14 | their taxes and build tax efficient |
00:05:12 | 00:05:16 | wealth right so this is all about |
00:05:14 | 00:05:18 | implement that s corp you want to help |
00:05:16 | 00:05:20 | them implement retirement plans that |
00:05:18 | 00:05:22 | will be super tax efficient and not only |
00:05:20 | 00:05:23 | that though you have to be with them |
00:05:22 | 00:05:26 | throughout the year to help them pay in |
00:05:23 | 00:05:27 | those taxes and execute on that because |
00:05:26 | 00:05:29 | otherwise |
00:05:27 | 00:05:32 | they're going to screw it up right and |
00:05:29 | 00:05:33 | you need to help them plan ahead so you |
00:05:32 | 00:05:34 | want to help them with the taxes |
00:05:33 | 00:05:36 | immediately you want to help them in |
00:05:34 | 00:05:37 | that year you want to help them pay in |
00:05:36 | 00:05:39 | throughout the year so they end the year |
00:05:37 | 00:05:42 | with peace and they use the payroll |
00:05:39 | 00:05:43 | system and it's all done for them and |
00:05:42 | 00:05:45 | that will help them save taxes and get |
00:05:43 | 00:05:48 | them into retirement plans and get them |
00:05:45 | 00:05:50 | into real estate and show them the path |
00:05:48 | 00:05:52 | towards that that is absolutely |
00:05:50 | 00:05:54 | necessary that is a huge part of your |
00:05:52 | 00:05:56 | business but it's not just the carvey |
00:05:54 | 00:05:58 | tax plan right and i don't think you |
00:05:56 | 00:06:01 | need corvy to understand that get people |
00:05:58 | 00:06:03 | into retirement plans and benefits get |
00:06:01 | 00:06:05 | people into s corpse in the right court |
00:06:03 | 00:06:07 | the right corporation depending on their |
00:06:05 | 00:06:10 | their jobs right or their goals |
00:06:07 | 00:06:12 | and to get them into tax efficient real |
00:06:10 | 00:06:13 | estate and other passive income |
00:06:12 | 00:06:15 | opportunities you don't need carvey to |
00:06:13 | 00:06:16 | tell you that those are like principles |
00:06:15 | 00:06:18 | right it's kind of like if you're losing |
00:06:16 | 00:06:20 | weight um |
00:06:18 | 00:06:22 | burn a little bit of calories have a |
00:06:20 | 00:06:23 | slight calorie deficit maintain that for |
00:06:22 | 00:06:25 | the rest of your life that's what you |
00:06:23 | 00:06:26 | got to do right |
00:06:25 | 00:06:28 | there are principles that we're going to |
00:06:26 | 00:06:29 | bring to play now you know the tactiks |
00:06:28 | 00:06:32 | and the strategies and then the tactiks |
00:06:29 | 00:06:34 | but that's the core so number one that's |
00:06:32 | 00:06:35 | what you're gonna do number two |
00:06:34 | 00:06:38 | you're gonna help them increase |
00:06:35 | 00:06:40 | productivity save time and avoid hiring |
00:06:38 | 00:06:41 | staff okay this is where when you and i |
00:06:40 | 00:06:43 | was just walking through this yesterday |
00:06:41 | 00:06:44 | and that's why i made this video i was |
00:06:43 | 00:06:46 | telling the guy i go you know what your |
00:06:44 | 00:06:48 | mom used to spend about four hours a |
00:06:46 | 00:06:50 | week you know four hours a week doing |
00:06:48 | 00:06:53 | your books and no matter what that four |
00:06:50 | 00:06:55 | hours a week is not |
00:06:53 | 00:06:57 | you're not paying for it but there's a |
00:06:55 | 00:07:00 | cost to that right so let's just say an |
00:06:57 | 00:07:01 | accountant is about 25 an hour right now |
00:07:00 | 00:07:04 | if we just do some of that rough and |
00:07:01 | 00:07:08 | dirty math um let's just say it's four |
00:07:04 | 00:07:11 | hours a week times 52 weeks times 25 |
00:07:08 | 00:07:15 | dollars an hour that's 5 200 |
00:07:11 | 00:07:17 | that's a 4 hour 25 an hour 4 hour a week |
00:07:15 | 00:07:17 | accountant or bookkeeper |
00:07:17 | 00:07:19 | and |
00:07:17 | 00:07:21 | so that's fifty two hundred dollars |
00:07:19 | 00:07:23 | now let's just say that they need to be |
00:07:21 | 00:07:24 | competent be a cpa and understand your |
00:07:23 | 00:07:27 | finances and close out your books maybe |
00:07:24 | 00:07:30 | you have a little more uh complicated |
00:07:27 | 00:07:32 | situation i'm telling you um that |
00:07:30 | 00:07:33 | reducing taxes is good but more |
00:07:32 | 00:07:35 | importantly is that you're going to save |
00:07:33 | 00:07:36 | them time you're going to help them |
00:07:35 | 00:07:38 | avoid hiring staff and then there's the |
00:07:36 | 00:07:40 | productivity thing |
00:07:38 | 00:07:42 | genuinely if their staff is not muddled |
00:07:40 | 00:07:45 | and stuck in this stuff that they do |
00:07:42 | 00:07:47 | mediocre at best if you can get them out |
00:07:45 | 00:07:49 | of that you're going to find that they |
00:07:47 | 00:07:51 | have a huge payoff they don't always |
00:07:49 | 00:07:53 | understand that but when they're not |
00:07:51 | 00:07:55 | stuck they have a small business there's |
00:07:53 | 00:07:57 | probably like two to ten people right |
00:07:55 | 00:07:59 | when they're not |
00:07:57 | 00:08:00 | totally hamstring by doing things that |
00:07:59 | 00:08:02 | they're not good at you're going to |
00:08:00 | 00:08:03 | deliver a huge value and then the last |
00:08:02 | 00:08:05 | thing is |
00:08:03 | 00:08:07 | you want to keep them compliant avoid |

00:08:31 | 00:08:35 | i'm telling you tax planning is not |
00:08:33 | 00:08:37 | sufficient |
00:08:35 | 00:08:39 | it is one part of the puzzle and i know |
00:08:37 | 00:08:40 | that carvey and andrew argue don't say |
00:08:39 | 00:08:42 | that it's the only thing but what i've |
00:08:40 | 00:08:44 | found is that there are rather than |
00:08:42 | 00:08:46 | spell spend twelve thousand dollars a |
00:08:44 | 00:08:48 | year on a tax plan |
00:08:46 | 00:08:50 | if you get really good i would take that |
00:08:48 | 00:08:52 | twelve thousand dollars and do so many |
00:08:50 | 00:08:54 | other things with it whether it's client |
00:08:52 | 00:08:56 | acquisition whether it's investing in |
00:08:54 | 00:08:58 | your content with us or if it's |
00:08:56 | 00:09:00 | investing in help |
00:08:58 | 00:09:02 | i would take some you know twelve |
00:09:00 | 00:09:04 | thousand dollars a year again that's |
00:09:02 | 00:09:06 | for eight hours that's that's eight |
00:09:04 | 00:09:09 | hours a week of a 25 an hour employee |
00:09:06 | 00:09:11 | that you can have right that 12 000 |
00:09:09 | 00:09:12 | is is huge and i know that they have |
00:09:11 | 00:09:15 | other packages and stuff i think they're |
00:09:12 | 00:09:16 | doing great jobs i i think it's good but |
00:09:15 | 00:09:18 | i'm telling you um |
00:09:16 | 00:09:20 | before you spend 12 grand on corvy |
00:09:18 | 00:09:23 | that's what i would look at |
