Ready to break it down for you and make the tax and legal game easier than ever. Here is Mark and Matt.

Yes, the tax industry is broken. And you may be a business owner watching this to say, yeah, I knew it. I want to just know why. Or you might be a practitioner in the accounting industry, say, Mark, please give me a solution. Now, I'm a CPA, an attorney, bestselling author, and I've been in this industry.

how to get there. It's like two ships in the night passing past each other. They want to meet,

they want to wave to each other and pull over and talk on the side of some beautiful island,

quitting and business owners are going to turbotax but my friends there is a solution now part of

that solution is the accountant has to take the lead the accountant has to become the advisor

hold them out an advisor and reach out to their client and go,

I'm ready to meet. I want to meet and save you taxes. And if you want to be part of my

advisory program, great. If you don't, go find someone else that wants to look into the rear
