No-Nonsense Tax Guidance for Small Business Owners

After a long, successful career, I decided to start a small business and was looking for a resource that would provide me with guidance to ensure my tax situation was properly handled. That said, I’m busy and wasn’t looking to make this a career endeavor. I wanted something simple, straightforward, and written by someone who was an expert in their field.

That’s when I came across Kristine’s book. She’s an Enrolled Agent—a tax expert, not just someone giving advice based on guesses and half-truths. She speaks plainly, and with a clarity that made everything seem more manageable. She offered the kind of advice I was hoping for, without the puffed-up jargon or the sense that I was being talked down to. I listened to the audio version and found it so straightforward that I bought the hard copy, something to keep at hand, a reference when I needed it.

If you’re just starting out with a small business, buy this book. It’ll save you time, trouble, and maybe even a run-in with the IRS down the road. And that’s something no one wants.
