Have you ever wondered whether or not you’re currently set up under the right tax entity? Guess what… you might not be! Also, it may benefit you WAY more in the end to go with a true tax entity rather than starting as a sole proprietor. 

Katelyn Magnuson is a Fractional CFO and owner/founder of The Freelance CEO and she’s here to share her thoughts on all things numbers and tax entities. Listen in as she shares her top advice and why filing as an LLC sooner than later may mean saving tens of thousands of dollars in taxes. 

Have you ever thought to yourself, “I LOVE numbers?” No? You’re not alone, but that has never been a problem for Katelyn. She’s always loved how knowing your numbers impacts achieving your goals. She’s built an entire firm of people who are dedicated to helping their clients reach all of their money goals… (and buy the latte too!)

You see, no matter if you’re building a business, starting a side gig, or trying to figure out retirement, you have to know where you’re at to get where you want to go. That’s where Katelyn and her team step in. 

Listen as she shares her thoughts about why starting as an LLC is often the best thing, what it means to partner with your CFO, and why you should start with your goals, not what you’re currently making.
