If you are a business owner or decision making executive, how would you want to design The Perfect Plan™ to retain and reward your employees? A 401K is terrific for basic retirement savings, but there are limitations to how much you can put in, and it must be given to everyone on a proportional basis.
In this episode, we discuss the decision making process, how you can get the perfect timing of your deductions, and include the people and benefits that are needed most, in the most tax efficient manner. No two companies are alike, and neither should your plans be.
Come and listen to this podcast as we lay it out for you.

Are you a fan of Arli$$ the TV Show? Do you remember what the premise was? It was about a glitzy sports agent played by Robert Wuhl who is in the big-money world of professional sports and entertainment, playing the eternally optimistic and endlessly resourceful L.A. sports agent Arliss Michaels, whose Achilles' heel is his inability to say "no" to clients and employees.
In this episode, we have the pleasure of sitting down with the man that the show was based off of, Dennis Gilbert of Paradigm Gilbert (a Higgenbothom Partner), as he goes into how Bobby Bonilla came about, what it was like to get started in the insurance industry, his stint in baseball and how he brought his passion for the game together with the financial services world.

In my latest interview with key people in the financial services world, I had the pleasure to hear from my friend Ali Nasser as he explained his history of working with business owners and their "dilemmas". We chatted about our friendship, history, and how he decided to write his book where you'll learn that you aren't alone in how you run your business, what you prioritize, and what you think about. He has spoken nationwide about this topic, and you can learn more by accessing his book through this link:

Every business owner starts their business with the intent to "sell it" sometime in the future, make a lump sum, and walk away. Most likely, if you are reading this, you're more than far enough along in your ownership journey that you are now asking yourself:
"How much is my business worth?".
At Schiff Executive Benefits (SEB), we use a business valuation program called RISR that can help you find out. If you use Quickbooks, an owner can share their last three years of tax related data electronically, seamlessly, and securely through a link that we will send you to your PRIVATE valuation. After uploading that data, and answering a few questions about the operation of the business (i.e. ownership, tax structure, client concentration, operational questions, etc.), RISR will generate a SNAPSHOT value for SEB to review with you, so that you can realize your DREAM value in the future.
Using the results from the report, you can:
- Negotiate offers with potential buyers,
- Discuss with management ways to improve profitability
- Review potential business valuation risks, and
- Align your people with the future growth of the company.
Here were some of the solutions that our clients decided upon after engaging SEB:
- Sold to an outside party
- Implemented an Installment (structured) sale to the employees/family member
- Employee Stock Ownership Plans
- Sell some or ALL of your stock
- Retain Control of the company
- Immediate Tax Savings for an S Corp
- Provides Retention Strategy for ALL employees
- Buy/Sell Planning Between Partners upon:
- Death
- Disability, or
- Retirement
- Tax Efficient Retention Strategies
- Executive Bonus
- Restricted Executive Bonus (REBA)
- Supplemental Retirement Plan
- Excess 401K Plans
