Not what was expected

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

It is a very well written story, however he refers to what his previous CPA didn't tell him, and going over business plans for having a small business. He doesn't get into actual details that don't revolve around him, but often just states you need to ask your CPA.

Has What Your CPA Isn't Telling You turned you off from other books in this genre?

Not really, it did have a few good ideas, that he had followed and was given. I would have preferred his CPA to write the book.

Would you be willing to try another one of Mark J. Kohler’s performances?

Possibly, he reads well

Just contact a CPA.

Appendices?

Any additional comments?

Does anyone know how to access the appendices of this book? When I purchase a book, expect to be able to have access to ALL of the book, especially when the author refers to the appendix many times throughout... maybe web access somewhere?

From one CPA to another

Is there anything you would change about this book?

It is hard to write a book about tax strategies and I give Mr. Kohler credit with the creativity of telling a story. The reviews on Amazon were much more positive so it may be a book that needs to be read. The sound quality was not up to usual standards although the author gave it his best, there should have been some editing. I found the story moved too slow with a payoff that was less then I hoped for.

What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?

I liked that the PDF for Appendix B was available and that will be a good visual resource.
I believe the recommendations to start a business andor do rental Real Estate is solid but takes a great deal of work.
The major opinion on the self directed IRA as something "the Wall Street Machine" does not want you to know about is very questionable advice. Financial planners and investment people make less but CPAs and custodians make a lot more. I am not saying it can not work; but after researching it for my clients, there are many fees, traps, and hassles...be careful! It sounds great in theory to start a business or buy property inside a qualified account but you still have to follow through on making money. The great part of investing is you put up the capital and others do the work!

Vital information!!

I wish I had read the book all those years ago. I would probably be in a better position financially then I am in the present. My CPA hasn’t told me about any of these tax strategies and I wish she had. Or, I now know what to ask her about the strategies now. Thanks for an excellent book.

Thank God I got this book

This is one of the best thing that ever happen to me, openning my sight to wealth opportunities.

Extremely informative book

The information in this book was invaluable. Although the reader stumbled through most of it, the knowledge gained was well worth the listen

lots of good practical tips everyone shoukd know

ever heard of a self directed IRA? Did you know you could invest your HSA? If nit then this is the book for you. Just wish we voukd find a CPA tjus knowledgeable and willing to share.

What Your CPA Isn’t Squeaking at You

The info is pretty good. But the reader lacks confidence and stutters. This makes it hard to listen to the story.

Absolutely awesome

I am a small business owner with more time to listen than to do anything else... I am often working with my hands and doing things by myself allowing me plenty of time to soak up education... This my friends is a great book for tax education, simple and concise, kind of humorous at the same time. I have been a fan of the rich dad series and listened to and read about 6-7 books from their line, this is right on par and a lot shorter... Less technical but still really helpful to get your pallet wet. I am definitely going to purchase Mark's other books. Slightly poor recording of him reading the book (you can pages turning and sometimes a slight noise in the background) however not at all a deterrent to great material! Get it and you won't be disappointed

gets you excited but not a lot of meat

he read his own book and stutters quite a bit and u can hear pages turning but he is enthusiastic and interesting to listen to. the entire book is his explanation of what his business minded cpa told him in a seminar he attended. i dont know if it is fictional and used as a story base for the information he wants to share (much like how there is no rich dad or poor dad in real life). i already own two businesses and i felt like i didnt learn much. this was more of elementary reasons to start a business in order to save taxes rather than details on how to do better book keeping to write of travel expenses. im glad i listened to it but i didnt learn a lot
