Show Notes
In this episode of The Entrepreneur’s Logbook, Zachary speaks with Mark Myers, founder and tax-saving architect at Taxwise Partner.
A former Marine Corps Sergeant turned advanced tax strategist, Mark shares how he’s helped more than 500 clients collectively save hundreds of millions in taxes, reducing bills by 30–60% without undermining the work of CPAs or financial advisors. He explains why entrepreneurs should “build with the end in mind,” reverse-engineer a saleable business, and treat their tax burden as a profit center rather than a sunk cost.
Mark walks us through Taxwise Partner’s client process, from behind-the-scenes vetting with strategic CPA and RIA partners to a tailored fact-pattern analysis of income sources and capital gains events. He busts the myth of “gray area” loopholes, citing Judge Learned Hand’s famous quip that America has two tax systems: one for the informed, one for the uninformed, and stresses that all his recommended strategies are fully legal.
Listeners also learn about high-impact tactics beyond the usual “chip shots,” like acquiring depreciation through solar or equipment-focused “businesses in a box” and structuring charitable gifts of noncash assets at fair market value.
If you’re ready to stop overpaying Uncle Sam and unlock hidden profits in your growing enterprise, Mark’s step-by-step playbook will make you rethink everything you thought you knew about tax planning.
