"Last year, I worked with an upstart small business in New York that employed around 20 people. Hearing that a big burden for him was providing health care coverage, which he chose to do to hire and retain great staff, I educated him on the savings he could see in starting an HSA associated with a high deductible plan. In the end, this plan was a win for the owner to see a ton of tax savings, and the employees benefited with a great plan with the business contributing towards their HSA every year."

"When working with corporations on tax advising issues, I always walk through business expenditures with a fine-toothed comb because how large expenditures are claimed can make or break taxes for years to come.

The only thing it took to convince them was a simple educational meeting."
